First job today was replacing a gear and bearing on this rear mount snowblower before the snow starts tonight, that wasnt too bad.

Second job was freeing up siezed components on a seeder. This attachment was built in France and works by using magic and a bunch of moving parts. I have no idea who comes up with these things but im sure there was drugs involved lol. Anyway, the siezed parts are now moving again and its ready for spring when planting starts.

A local volunteer fire department reached out about foam issues on one of their trucks. The foam system injects a small amount of foam concentrate into the water flow when needed by the firefighters to aid in extinguishing certain types of fires.

The issue with this truck was the foam pump was not turning on at all when requested and it was found the flow meter had failed, replaced this component and pump is now turning on with the foam controller.

This system works well, but the foam concentrate can be corrosive to components like the injector and it tends to stick open and slowly leak foam into the pump. Swapped out the injector and this issue was also corrected.

Every truck usually gets a quick check over for any visual problems and a couple of minor issues were noted and TFM will head back once the parts arrive, keeping this truck on active fire duty in the area.

Working at farms is weird. Spent all morning replacing a loader valve on a tractor and spent the afternoon cleaning up and replacing the glass in a 1960s scale that was in the back of a shed forever.
Keeps it interesting though haha
