Water Cooling kit at the geeks
we have these pinion shalves that ride on this big rotation gear so that the gearbox rotates... think the steel is 4150 but we heat the teeth glowing red and drop them in this tub of that oil... gotta do it fast or you have a flame rolling up your arm... we have a lid for the tub so if it catches on firewhich it has before and STINK! lol whole shop was filled with black smoke
yep.. thats exactily what it was. Came in 55 gallon drums that we would put on the rack and pull the plug out of the bottom and let it drain. Once the expaditor forgot to take the top plug out (to vent it) and came back an hour later and the drum had collapsed and fallen off the rack onto the floor and made a huge puddle of 220 weight oil. looked like the BLOB with the runs.

"Once the expaditor forgot to take the top plug out "
Ever wonder why they call them an Expatidor when they so often gum up the works and slow things down!
Sometimes things are just backwards I geuss.
Like saving money with Just In Time inventory method. Now just how much money does a company really save when about 5 times a year (or more often) an entire department shows up to work and sweeps the floors all night just to look busy because they have no parts to run! Or oil for the machines?
Lets see, say 10 workers X 8hrs X $10 an hr. Okay, one day without parts just cost them $800 in payroll alone! Then they have to pay extra's on that like their part of SS taxes, and everything else. They got no work done so now they are behind on production, in a couple weeks over time so they can catch up! Thats another $400 plus extra's for the 8 hours work they are making up. Add to that they have to power the place on a saturday that they would normally be closed. You got about $2,000 paid out as a loss just because you don't stock enough parts! And that is on the LOW side!
You gotto buy the parts sooner or later to use them anyway, so that does not cost any extra keeping them supplied in stock ready to use. And just how much does it cost them for that extra 50'x8'x8' space to store a semi load of parts in?? Heck if nothing else just buy a used Trailer and part it outside.
I know compaines that do this at least 5 times a year!! Take the parts off the truck today to use tomorow! OOps, truck wreck, sweep floors all day, ice storm in the east, sweep floors, bad parts send em back, sweep floors, etc.....
Then they belly ache about low profits and want to cut out the floating holidays and Xmas turkeys!!
Gee the 10 grand they tossed on lost work for no parts durring the year would have bought lots of turkeys and paid lots of holidays!!
But they are convinced they saved money by not stocking any parts!!!
Oh yea, and don't forget the cost of replacing all those brooms they wore out
