Thread: Where Do Crooks Get Their Gats?

That XRay truck is driven with a geared electric motor, so it creeps along. Their a system to go between the diesel motor and electric. Well a few years ago, some didn’t disengage the electric and drove off with it connected back through the gearbox, it was doing many thousand of revs it didn’t like. I got the motor to rewind and re bearing. It’s a nice bit of German engineering. To replace the front bearing, I had to remove the pinion gear. It hydraulics off at 50,000 psi. We set it up in the lathe to control it and, using a special hand pump, it broke at 44,000. To put it back, we froze the rotor and gently heated the pinion. It dropped on nicely. What a mission.
