Sept 24 - 28, 2012: Generators and Hydraulic pumps

This week I learned more about how experience is key. We had a skid steer that would turn on, but no movement and no hydraulics. It turns out if you look at some pictures that the flywheel and the pump input shaft was stripped. I had some ideas about what was wrong, but as soon as they had told me it had happened before I realized how important experience is. I also learned about different designs of generators you can see one of them in a picture of a Genie S65 boomlift. It is a hydraulically driven alternator for the basket so you can have 115v ac current without an extension cord like the other models.
