A johndeere 310 backhoe dont like slick ramps either, especially with the brakes not tied together! unloading one @ the jobsite one frosty morning and damn near turned it over! quick thinking was the only thing that saved me, I cramed the front end loader down as fast as i could and it was... -

The grouchy old mechanic
I have a somewhat different outlook on this subject. what makes you a grumpy old a hole? could it be the number of bone heads that you have experienced over time!? I worked for one guy that plowed snow for the state, doubbled off as mechanic and driver (I have a cdl) this one guy thats maybe 3... -

kshansen, I think you misunderstood the flat rate i was talking about was the shops flat hourly rate, nevermind what the book time is. he charged x$ for ever how many hours the job actually took. I never minded working book time, in most cases it worked to my advantage. shop was going to charge... -

i guess, depends on who you work for and how they bill things. one shop i worked at had a great reputation for doing good work but would not charge by the book, they had a flat shop rate and however long it took unless is was something unrealistic was what was charged. screwoffs didnt last very... -

no, it didnt make it a full turn. no abnormal engine sounds, no misfires, no knock and it is indeed is a s4e engine cast right into the block. if i hadnt had the floorboard out while it was running i wouldnt know it had gotten worse. #4 cylinder had the water in it, leaking around #2  and... -

my biggest pet peeve with book time is, thats the amount of time it SHOULD take. Factor in a aged machine with rusty bolts, grease and grime oil leaks and it Will take longer. Example that happened to me last week, i had to remove the steering clutch covers on a tracked machine. complaint was... -

i have not read all 8 pages but i can tell you this, after doing this type of work for nearly 30 years the book time can work for or against you. if you get paid book time for a certain job and can beat book time all is good, if it takes you twice as long then you are in the hole! if you are...
