College man, thanks for the tip.. the problem with this old loader is the engine is in a compartment and where you are working it up on top, it is the big L shape loader if you have ever seen loading big cans on an aircraft. sometimes it tosses or breaks a belt causing the fan to stop working, for were you work you cant see it or hear it go and you cant see the gauge from that angle, so I was thinking on using a fan switch that is designed to turn on a fan, but instead use it to cut the engine ignition when it reaches like 210 degrees so the radiator or engine doesn’t get damaged from over heating ?? I’m thinking the switch would ground its self at a set temp? 210 and ground the ignition to shut it down ?? any thoughts ??
Hi Everybody, my name is Todd
well for starters I went to a Tech school here in Colorado, Bollman Tech back in the day and graduated in 1985, didn’t do much with it besides my own stuff, for the past 4-5 years been working at the airport for a company as a GSE Maintenance, I work on stuff from the tug’s that pull the big luggage carts, to the Big push Back tractors that move Aircraft around, to the Big can loaders to load large luggage cans on the aircraft to regular trucks, vans, cars that the company owns. It is a big learning curve since most of the big equipment there is no school for, but most of the principles are the same, we have stuff from gas to diesel to hydraulics operated equipment.
Eric I love this web site, it is packed with tons of information. You do a great job.
My one question is if someone could please answer for me, when I left the Tech School back in 1985 all we got was a certificate and on back showed what ASE course we had and passed for each module, Is this good enough for a job in a real shop or dealership or would I need to go back to school to take the tests again or is this good?? thanks for any help Todd
