An e stop would be smart for our autosaw... Its so old I don't think it has one, or if it does it's not red anymore haha.

 

I saw one on my truck start to deform pretty bad just from a strap wrench, said screw it and paid someone to fix it while I could still drive it to them.

Was totally my fault though. First time changing the oil on any vehicle. I thought the filters had to be tightened with the wrench...

 

Well ours had one, albeit no wires going to it haha. Us maintenance guys knew all you had to do was hit the limit switch for it to stop so we never thought fixing it was a high priority. The safety guy saw it one day and has been nagging us for quite some time to fix it.

 

The pipe wrench just dented/mangled it more

 

It is on there fucking tight

 

Can you cut it off? Don't wanna deal with it? This is why nobody else even does my oil changes. Freaking putz that railroaded yours on....

 

I really enjoy cleaning up or rebuilding old solid quality equipment and tools

 

Is it possible to remove the part it screws into? Like on my 3RZ I can get the filter housing thing off and take it to the vise if I had to.

 

I took that thing off once, what a damn pain to put back under a header. Good time to change the seals tho

 

I don't want to deal with it. The truck is parked in the street and we have snow forecast Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. I have so much other shit to do. I should have just paid for a fucking oil change

 

Now I get to pay for the oil change and a tow plus whatever labor they charge to get it off

 

I dont. It can be super frustrating work. Probably why I wanna design/program control circuitry on new machinery for a living someday.

 

I would say torch it but you probably wouldn’t have a truck after

 

Oof. I had to beat the filter square when I used a pipe wrench lol

 

what about a heat gun, may loosen it up.

 

Yes. Yes I am

Body shop is fixing it Friday. Found a slight issue when opening and closing the door that just started to show its face now that I’m driven it.

Door rubs the rocker and just barely.. I got the faintest of paint coming off. He said bring it by Friday and they’ll get it sorted and repainted there.
Good guys they are

 

Maybe.

also good advice for anyone putting something on they might wanna take off later like s pully on a shaft. Use white lithium grease. Wont let it rust so it be easier to take off

 

Someone's been servicing exhaust fans and blower fans.

 

what the heck is this, from the 3rd gen spot
@Steves104x4 is this you?

 

Yeap. Basically what half of hvac work is
