Me too on a new job

[3sloppydogs]

I start on Monday. I haven't worked since Sept 10th. I've been turning wrenches and shop admin for 40plus years on medium trucks and medium to large heavy machinery. The company i worked for was bought and they kept me for nine months when they others go immediately. I appreciated that. I'm tired of not working and starting to get bored. So I am taking a job as a small engine mechanic for a local tractor dealer. This is going to be nice working on light stuff!
Have some cash and will start looking for another project car
Oh, and I bought a smaller two bay box because I'm not moving the big heavy thing anymore. That will stay in my shop loaded with all the big tools I hope to never use again

Best of things for you with your new job. Reckon your employer feels lucky to have you with your experience.

I wish you the best of luck in the new job...

I hope it's what you expect...
I'll bet you're a great tech./mechanic too,
they should be proud to have your years & skills...

I hope it works out for you too...

Seems like a lot of that, going around of late...

Good luck with your new gig. Those small engines are going to be a shock to you at first, after 40 years of heavy equipment.

No overhead crane to remove a head! Sounds good to me. Congrats on the new job.
Hopefully less stress and easy-peasy!

No final drives
No tracks
No bucket pins and bushings
And you're right, no cranes for heads or pumps or even cylinders

I hope you the best, as I get older I leave the heavy work to the younger guy's! 440'

Best of luck to you in the new job!
I'm sure the lighter aspect is appealing.
I start a new job also on September 1st, it's called retired. Or as many have discovered "working from home" for the Mrs.
The new boss can be a bitch sometimes, or so I've been told.
Funny thing is once you say the magic word " retire" you get all kinds of crazy job offers.

Good Luck with your new job. Beats going stir crazy at home and the money is better.

Here's a bit of advice from Carl's boss...

The best of luck to you on your new job. After working on ag tractors and equipment a good part of my life, I also have a lot of tools that I’ll probably never use again. Especially the old Roosa-Master pump tools.

Good for you ! Hope you enjoy it. I think you'll get to appreciate Einstein's first law of physics: "Things get heavier as you get older" Take it light !
