Thats an odd place to keep a chainsaw file...


So we've got this little mini skid steer at work. Looks like this.



Using it today and its making an awful screaming and banging noise from the RH track. Got it back to the workshop tonight and loosened the track off and pulled it apart and found this.

Front idler off the track.



WITH NO BEARING IN IT!



This things been used for MONTHS with that bearing howling and carrying on before it finally exploded. Theres metal shavings EVERYWHERE under the track and the thing has been bashing itself to death for so loving long that the inner race for the bearing is TOTALLY MISSING.

I hate my coworkers. How loving hard is it to say to the boss 3 months ago "The Vermeer is making a horrible noise when we drive it!" and get it fixed before it writes off the entire bearing and shaft. Fortunately it doesnt look like its totally eaten the outer race yet, so the idler wheel might be ok.

I also love the people who drain the last bit of coolant, way oil, cutting oil etc and then don't say a word to anyone. We have a guy to order that stuff, it takes 2 minutes to let him know we're out and problem solved.

Some people have bosses who resent the fact that you finished something quite reasonably in the course of your job.

Serious reply: explosive diarrhea. I've managed to do that to my own toilet more times than I'd like to admit.

e;f;b, damnit

The worst is when the dookie flies out so violently that you splash it all over your rear end... even better is when you manage to splash it out of the toilet, and onto the phone you're holding at the time. :barf:

The crap posts reminded me of something my mom told me, not sure if she was there firsthand or heard from a friend. Anyhow she (or her friend) were at a salon getting their hair done when some middle aged women came tearing in and asked to use the bathroom. Salon lady said sure and motioned to the door in the back of the salon. 10-15 minutes later, lady comes out just saying "I'm sorry, I'm so very sorry" and leaves $20 on the counter and books it out the door. Salon lady goes WTF and heads into the crapper.

poo poo and blood everywhere.

EVERYWHERE.

Floor, toilet seat, side of toilet, back of toilet, walls, sinks, loving everywhere. :cry:

Here is a photo I took on the job yesterday. I would not expect everyone to get it, but what's wrong with this picture and why?



e: Also, WTF? Chris Cornell? Didn't see that coming. :(

Yeah.

Even if it doesn't weld the elements (spherical bearing in the pillow block) it's an express way to fluting the bearing which will lead to premature failure. I was walking by and pointed it out to the maintenance manager "Uh, hey, notice that?" and his eyes rolled back in his head, a look of despair on his face and "yeah, price me a out a new bearing OK?" :(

Wait, doesn't this kind of depend on where the welding is happening? ...if the welding is happening on the screw, wouldn't the bearing be ok?

Still risky and could have been done better, and a bad habit to establish, but is that actually a problem?

The welding appears to be on the casing, in the background of the photo. So the full welding current has to go through the bearing to get from the shaft to the case.

It's literally just laziness, right? Like "hey I can clamp to this spot easier than another spot, let's get welding" without thinking of the potential consequences.
