Dan Kane This picture was taken all the way down on the east end of the plant. You can see the PTO cover on the floor. The designed angle on the PTO housing was done wrong. It could not hold fluid. I worked grave shift in tool and dye and refigured the angle. Got approval from the plant manager to make the new tool and part. Almost got fired because I was not a journeyman. I quit because someone in management got a fabulous bonus and I didn't even get a thank you. If you look you can see the hydraulic fluid all over the floor.
 
man that is one mean looking rig stuck in the corner, your story I am certain is one of many as to why things didn't work out differently for the company
