In the wobble box? Yes, I always have to add some....the box on this one was trashed and had to be rebuilt.

I'm sure you have extra bar oil on hand, since your saws don't need it.

I hope overall they are reliable. I will say my wife's Trailblazer is a pretty snappy drive.

They are pretty good. This one is in a 16 Malibu. Cylinder #1 has half the compression of the rest.. I'm guessing it cracked the piston between the ring lands.
According to the General, that happens when using non Dexos approved oil... But that's a whole new oil thread right there.

Evening stump whackers.
Guy gave me this ugly little bastid last weekend.
I was wiping off some of the "shop funk" from where it had sat for a couple of years under the bench.
Guy never came back for it.
Pulled the fuel cap and sniffed. Not terrible, so WTF.
Hit the primer bulb a few times, throttle lock, choke.
2 pulls it popped, then it actually started and fugging ran...
Of course the primer bulb cracked open, but thats to be expected.
These arent bad little trimming saws, once the cat gets removed from the muffler.

Yes.

oil consumption on 4 ? also

Not that I'm aware of, but the customer typically takes it to a quick lube place and not to us for oil changes.

damn slackers

 

[Kiwioilboiler]

@timg I'm starting to think this company's loader operators aren't so much in touch with their gear...

 

[Kiwioilboiler]

@Dream you mentioned log handling gear recently.
That bin of oil is how it came out of the drum, not the machine.....

Having a whirl as a Territory Sales Rep for a Heavy Transport parts outfit Jase. Didn't want to emigrate to follow the refinery jobs, and this comes with a free use pickemup and so far a good vibe.

Sounds like it is agreeing with you, not having to relocate unless you wanted to is huge. As long as the compensation is agreeable, and they aren't micromanaging you. Congratulations on the newish career.
