Curtis has the luxury of not being a mobile welder. He picks jobs that let him do things slowly and carefully and has customers that almost always want it returned to original condition. You, otoh, work in field conditions (ie terrible conditions) and customers that want it done ASAP. Different skillset, different polish. Don't sell yourself short.
@zorbakaput8537
9 ай бұрын
It isn't a luxury, he (Kurtis) earnt the workshop in the field and there are some jobs like it or not that should not be done in the field. It is erroneous to make a comparison between workshop and field repairs other than the common error made by many who compare them by saying workshop repairs are proper long term repairs and field repairs are quick fixes to get the machine working asap. Generalisations which are just as inaccurate as other comments here.

Did a very similar thing on a scissors lift. Routine maintenance in machine shop tends to be neglected. Lack of lubrication was the first of two problems. 2nd was poor design of anti-rotation for pin going through lower cylinder. Just a flat washer tacked on a 1/4" pin. I used an older Van Norman boring bar. Built a 2 insert bar, supporting the bar on the end away from the machine with a bushing. Left plenty of clearance for chips. Had plenty of room to make insert bushings with a wide shoulder to put a pin through both the cylinder pin & bushing shoulder. This was kinda fun project, and it saved lots of dollars.
