How bad is the surgery? I'm not a sissy, but man did that shot of Cortisone hurt! Right now even two days of missing work is a big deal. My machine has been down since Tuesday and it will hopefully be back up tomorrow afternoon. I had to disassemble the entire water pump to replace the hydraulic pump. The valve inside the hydraulic pump disintegrated and there was pieces of brass in all of the hydraulic lines and 55 gallon reservoir. All that is now cleaned and reassembled. Tomorrow I have to tear apart the intensifier pump and check all the valves and seals to make sure no metal shavings got that far. Then there's a couple more hours work on the cutting head to make sure that didn't get damaged. I'm gonna guess nobody here knows what the heck I am rambling about! Aint nothin' like a whole bunch of 12 hour days. To top it all off, if it's not working tomorrow I will lose my Saturday, which just so happens to be the day of the local car show. It's supposed to be sunny with a high of 62. Should be a nice one!
