Been with IMCO for a month now and I'm enjoying everyday of it. The past couple of weeks have been a lot of electrical work. Had some horrible wire corrosion and weathering. Had a hydraulic vacuum arm not responding on a sweeper but after jiggling some wires it started working. I love how we go about fixing it though. There is no just fixing that one terminal or wire. I tore out the whole bundle, marked them all thankfully, and then after finishing sprayed any terminals down with a clear film to keep the elements out. We bought some new F350s last week so I got to put all new accessories on them. Installed new headache racks on them and ran wires from the cab aux switches to the strobes, fuel tanks and work lights. Also tore out the old trailer plugs and retrofitted some different style ones. In between all that just kept hacking away scheduled maintenance. Got a chance to take a couple of pics. One of them is of a dirty carburetor off of pipe fitter that didn't want to start, now it starts and runs. The gunk on the pad was inside the carb.The other is an actuator for a vacuum door for a sweeper. Apparently someone smashed the housing which let the elements in and killed the gears inside. Got a new one, there was no way of saving it, the motor burned up. And the last one has nothing to do with work but I went to some garage sales to look for tools and saw this tag on a tent for sale. People either need to learn how to spell or this was inappropriate for a g-sale.
