Subject: one day at the tractor factory


Back about 20 years ago I was testing tractors on the 8000 line when this young guy came up to me and started asking questions about what I was doing,,we had a nice little visit,I thought he was on a gold key tour,,,it turned out he was a truck driver whose girlfriend wanted him home more,,but after 4 hours on the assembly line he decided it wasn't for him,and he just started wandering around and gave himself a little tour before they found him and escorted him out. The guy that was breaking him in said he did ok for a while but couldn't imagine doing the same thing everyday,and just disappeared.

A couple times when I had repair jobs on my tractors I would walk the assembly line after hours and try to figure out how much had to be removed to fix what was wrong,,,there were times I saved an hour or two,,,other times there was no way I was going to start to fix something that looked easy,but was darn near impossible because of one bolt location
