I bet all the dealers and parts suppliers LOVE the LMM! Heck, maybe he gets kickbacks too.

I have a cauterizing tool that was given to me when I got snipped 20 years ago and it works excellent for melting the sharp ends into the head of the zip tie.
Haven‘t bleed from a sharp zip tie end for awhile.
Keep it in my toolbag and actually bought another one for my toolbox for 15 bucks off of Amazon.
Also use it to melt insulation on wires, when splicing.

I've given more blood to Peterbilt, Volvo and Freightliner than I ever gave to the Red Cross.
Damn zip tie monster.

Another vibratory system failure on a Sakai roller this time. Lmm changed out leaking hoses for the vibrator system and evidently knocked more dirt in the hose or ports. This time it trashed the motor and the pump.
Deere dealer did the last one (Bomag) since they beat me to it........heard the bill was over $7K. They aren't so lucky this time, probably double that.
Seems he likes to use silicon on ORFS fittings also. Big NO NO!
Nope...........I don't feel sorry for them LOL

Wait...........say that again!! Let me see if I understand this correctly..........LMM puts RTV on an ORFS fitting??!! Is that it??
He ran outta O rings and said RTV will work just as good?? Or he added the RTV to the new Oring........
Holy crap.............WOW!!

Why can't some people just see how it was and simply put it back that way?

Should install a Zerk into the o-ring groove to simply pump in the blue goo after assembly......

I think I said at the early part of this when he first got hired, he’s gonna ride it out until he can collect unemployment..
He’s not there to “fix” anything.!!

YES !
LMM just doesn't know any better. He was never a service tech.....he was a lube tech......and only for less than 2 years at that. He has a boss with zero experience in this field throwing him at everything whether he knows anything about it or not. This is ALL on Alan.
It's time to pay the piper at this point. I have quoted a total of just over $80K in repair work on 4 different majors.............one of which I just finished. Nothing like this was happening when I was there. Now it is a constant. And they thought I was too expensive!?

Probably was leaking and instead of replacing the or ring he had a better idea

Ok........but, but, but........part of me thinks 'There's a first time for everything.' And there is alot I haven't done yet.......but with critical thinking and logic......you can get it done.......might not be the quickest, since its my first time, but I can get it done....correctly...the first time.
HOWEVER............HOLY ****!! RTV on a ORFS??!! I think I knew at 10 or 12 how to change a hose and put new o rings in...........never once have I EVER been tempted to put RTV in there.
Ohhh St. V Tech, you are far more patient man than I!! I humbly bow to your tolerance and patience and ask that you teach me your ways!!

I was working for a guy when the orfs was leaking right off the hydraulic pump, he wanted to wrap it up with Teflon tape and I said that wouldn't work it's a o ring seal. It worked lol probably still on there like that.
I sent Alan and the main super my repair quotes on Monday. I got an email from Alan yesterday saying that he is waiting on the CEO to get back with him. The CEO has to be wondering "WTF is going on!?" I bet there will be a lot of questions to be answered.
