Tonight in Automotive

The parts washer has been thoroughly cleaned out, has new fluid, and back is in service - I also put various brushes in it for those that like to scrub their items whilst cleaning. Please leave them inside the parts washer.

The winch repair on the press is unfortunately going to take another visit - the press is functional tho (the winch would last longer if the press was used properly) If you don’t know how to raise or lower the bed for press operation - ask.

The sockets in the blue cabinet are getting an update in organization. Freddy will continue that effort later this week

The old parts washer fluid has been removed from the DMS property and will be disposed of.

Marshall - thanks for the help with the buckets.
J.J. Thanks for going to HFD for more buckets - I will reimburse you.
The two new guys - John and Jason - Thanks for your patience and help with the parts washer and winch.

It’s Jason, and it was no problem. For the winch on the press, we need one like this: https://www.toolplanet.com/product/Worm-Gear-Hand-Crank-Winch-25091/winches?gclid=Cj0KCQjw08XeBRC0ARIsAP_gaQBzDrYhSL4V47jU8NaM7yQXMJX68Kj7e33V_qr7ax8ew3uf3eAY1d4aAqIbEALw_wcB so the handle will clear. If you end up getting one let me know, I’d be happy to help put it on. I feel like it defeated us the first time around…

Jason,

First off - Thanks for the help last night ! I’ll get the new winch ordered.
I’m still in shock that 2 new members volunteered to help with one of the dirtiest “no appreciation” tasks !

Thanks for that winch link - but I am going to go with a non Asian made winch.
