I found this on Gab.com the other evening in case anyone else on HeavyEquipmentForums has an interest in the group. It is a group for Heavy Equipment Mechanics. https://gab.com/groups/10609
I'm just a light duty fry cook so I don't qualify.
I just sell shrimp outta the back of a van, down by the river
I'm a one legged man in an ass kicking contest Thanks for posting it, I'll check it out as soon as I catch my breath....
I've got a pry bar and a pipe wrench, and limited knowledge combined with a poor skill set. Can I join? This pipe wrench is the neighbor's, I don't have a fancy aluminum one. But I knew it was the right size for the trailer ball. I do have a heavy duty metric wrench too.
I ride shotgun on a crap wagon keeping the buzzards away.
I used to have a mechanic job. But, now I don’t go. I’m trying to become a rapper. But, my flow is to slow. The rhymes are fun. But, it’s the money I’m after. Ripping up Alaska. Like a Caterpillar tractor!
Here's some heavy equipment to discuss or cuss.
It used to be that the Trapping & Snaring For Beginners page on Facebook had the most sarcastic responses.....HEF is stepping up its game.
Just poking a little fun at it, just like anything else you can only say so many good things and have only so many discussions about cotter pins and zerk fittings.
The sarcastic responses are sometimes the best part of any forum! Trust me, you guys will have to try a lot harder to get to the level of that trapper's page. I don't trap much at all but I sure get some laughs from the responses given. It's all good.
Ill be right over...........
That Gump scene reminds me of the job I was on 2 weeks ago. I started grinding on a standing white oak that was about 18"-20" dbh tree and a gray flash flies out of the mid section of the tree and hits the ground running - a gray squirrel. I yelled to him, "Hey, what's your name?" "Forest", he said. "Run Forest, RUN! I'm coming to git cha!" He was long gone and safe. Years ago, I did fell an oak with the saw and while bucking it up, I remember seeing gray fur during a cut. I figured it was maybe a nest as I did not see any blood. While loading the log on a trailer, it dropped hard and out came a squirrel with about an inch of tail left on him running like a rabbit.
It sounds like a place I can go and be a complete retard. If I was to go there, as a newly hired Cat tech, and ask what mix of antifreeze I should put in my turbocharger.........what type of responses should I expect?
Discussing weights of motor oil is always exciting.
Well hopefully some old Cat doctor would tell you to use the mix for the temperature you are working at . Cat did use water cooled turbos . Bob
Yeah, but I was wanting to have some fun with it. There is only 7 registered members there though.
I think that I will stick around here. this is the first forum that I seen with people who know what they are talking about. So much knowledge and experience here. I'm sure everyone here has googled a problem and had to painfully sift through internet hacks giving horribly bad advice and absolutely not knowing what they are talking about. I trust the advice I received from here and don't see any need for something else to occupy my time. Besides I bet that site allows politics and I absolutely can't stand people's political opinions. Another reason I like this forum much better. The moderator's do a good job enforcing the rules and people largely respect the rules.
Last week I couldn't spell Mechanik, now I are one. I will take a peek but......... Think I'll stick around here, like the people! P.S. Don't tell my wife I'm a heavy equipment mechanic, she thinks i have a respectable job, like a piano player in a cat house.
No burgers today only pig snorkels and ears, how you like tours cooked?
What's that pay? I been looking for something part time. Do they provide ammo?
Crap if they provide ammo I'll work for free and I won't even be picky on caliber! 9MM, 40 cal, .223 - I'm game for any and all.

Don't lose yer day job!
He can come work with me-I need a backup chef.
They gave me a broom and said to use that. I told them my wife quit riding brooms after the first kid was born.
