    Great video. Brings back a lot of memories. Spent 11 years on work over rigs from 1977-1988. From floors through the ranks to operator then to tool pusher at 22 during the 80’s boom and back to operator after the 80’s bust. Only 2 of my original crew are left. My brother and me. They have gone home. I miss those guys.

      It makes perfect sense. You work so hard you hate it. But once you’re rested you miss it.
      I did this for 23 years and I miss it but I know I can’t do it anymore.

      I'm 44 now, I did it for 6 months this last year, never did it before. The guys at Pathfinder were all cool. Then I worked on a workover crew for a few weeks thinking the grass would be greener, they were miserable pricks. I do miss the casing crew I was on, that was fun once I got used to the temps

    • @ipkiss6375
      @ipkiss6375 2 года назад +1

      The rod transfer is attached like the other ones. The camera can not pick up the small cable attached to it because of how hard it has to work to pick up the red mesh behind it. You can see the hook tho on the top of the transfer because it is much larger then the cable. If you rewind and pay attention to the other safety cables holding the other transfers the cables disappear sometimes at the right angle.
