      @@chinamon7870I’m in the same boat as the other guy but I have been a generator mechanic for a couple yrs before jumping into diesel mech. There’s a lot to learn on the job, learn the systems of every component and everything else comes with experience. Try to work efficiently, The heavy duty stuff is no joke, it’ll take a toll on ur body if u like to man handle ur way through. Also starting off I’d get a common set of tools then later upgrade to power tools that help u work faster and also get special tools that make the job easier. I’m still learning at the moment but I’m around my 7th month in. Still slow but slow is smooth and smooth is fast. Try to keep a clean and organized area. It makes u look more professional and also is less of a headache trying to find bolts that rolled away. And I guess the last thing is to always ask for advice if you are unsure of doing something the right way.

    Did mechanics course for cars with college for 3yrs and wanted to work on cars but this year I got an apprenticeship with FedEx as a HGV mechanic. Lots of heavy lifting but it’s good pay. Hoping to stay with them for a few years then leaving once I feel like I have all the knowledge and parts info so I can do an office job somewhere in the mechanics line. Just because as a diabetic, lifting heavy things whilst managing my health, it’s quite scary and stressful if it’s not in the good range❤

Not only does it irritate one, but the brush itself was practically useless beside the fact.
