Well today was slightly better than the past few days. I finished the service on the X300 and completed another service on a X324 riding mower. About half way through the service on the X324, I was handed two work orders to assemble some new equipment. When I finished the service on the X324, I cleaned my work area in preparation for the assembly of a three point chipper and a log splitter.
Went looking for the forklift and found that one of out parts specialist was using it. Since he was using it and was going to go past my chipper empty, I talked him into bringing it into the shop for me. That's the way, delegate. Also managed to talk him into bringing in the log splitter at the same time.
Uncrated the chipper and put the discharge chute on it. Other than attaching the PTO drive shaft that was the extent of assembly. Just to be on the safe side, I greased the machine also. I know that they usually come in pregreased, but ........
The log splitter was a different story, there was more assembly required for this. I mean, like putting the wheels and fenders on it, attaching the draw bar to the motor and hydraulic tank assembly and then attaching the splitter hydraulic ram and rails to the drawbar and motor assembly. Topped of the hydraulic tank, engine oil and fuel tank. Started the motor and purged the air from the hydraulic system. Assembly completed, but now to cut up the shipping crates with a chainsaw in the shop and throw all of the pieces into the dumpster. Cleaned up the wood chips and clocked out for the day. Monday looks like a X585 garden tractor is in need of servicing.
