In the dispatch room.
Wang Weidong pulled up a chair and sat in front of Niu Zhijun.
"Why haven't I seen any maintenance on our truck?"
Niu Zhijun was surprised: "Maintenance, what is that?"
"Maintenance means regularly changing engine oil, gear oil, diesel filter element, engine oil filter element, lubricating parts of the vehicle that need lubrication on time, fixing bolts, wiping the accumulated oil and dust on the engine wiring harness, and checking wearing parts." Wang Weidong said with a smile.
After thinking for a while, he added: "By the way, it is winter now, the weather is cold, the oil seal, rubber sleeve and triangle belt are prone to aging, and they should be replaced frequently."
Of course, there are also air filters and air conditioning filters, but there are no such things on the truck, so I didn’t mention them.
These words made Niu Zhijun even more confused.
"Don't you just add the oil when it's gone? Just throw it away for no reason. How wasteful is that?"
His eyes widened, as if he was hearing a fantasy: "Also, what are the wearing parts you are talking about?"
They usually drive trucks, as long as the car can run, they don't pay attention to these details at all.
Wang Weidong had to explain it to Niu Zhijun in detail one by one.
The expression on Niu Zhijun's face varied from surprise to confusion, and finally to admiration.
He stood up and patted Wang Weidong's shoulder heavily: "When you said that, I understood. It's like serving your daughter-in-law. You make her eat well and drink well. You also have to check your body regularly. If you have any illness, please hurry up. Treat it, so that she will be willing to warm your bed."
What a good guy, he can pull anything off a woman. Wang Weidong is convinced of the bad habits of truck drivers.
But it's quite appropriate.
"Your suggestion is good, I will let Lao Bai do it." Niu Zhijun said with a big smile.
There is a job in the factory and the truck breaks down, which makes people anxious.
Although Wang Weidong's method may waste a little engine oil.
But the old man Zuo from the logistics department still owes me a meal, so I’ll ask him to repay the favor later.
As for the oil seal, rubber sleeve and V-belt, it is even simpler. The repairmen originally made them themselves.
"Let's go, I'll let Lao Bai do maintenance on the truck now." Niu Zhijun is impatient.
He stood up, picked up the blue and black cotton coat on the shelf, draped it diagonally on his body, and walked to the repair shop next door.
Wang Weidong smiled, shook his head, and followed.
There was no one in the repair shop, and three mechanics were lying on the concrete floor under the truck replacing parts.
Hearing the footsteps, the repairman Bai Wanxi poked his head out from under the car, smiling brightly:
"Captain, you're lucky. I found a fuel injector. It's not the right model, but I can modify it and it should work."
Good guy, he started "modifying" again... Wang Weidong pursed his lips.
"Modification" accessories are an essential skill for truck mechanics at the Red Star Rolling Mill.
In fact, it's easy to say. If the accessory is one size larger, just use a hammer to knock it in.
If you can't knock it in, knock hard.
If the accessories are one size smaller, it will be a bit troublesome.
To do this, use electric welding to weld an iron piece on the accessory. If that doesn't work, put a leather mat on the outside, press it on it, and then hammer it again.
Well, it fits perfectly, perfect!
Even if the truck is repaired.
Every repairman will eventually become an excellent welder, qualified tailor and wheel hammer.
With this kind of "modification" accessory installed, it's hard to imagine the truck not breaking down.
However, under such difficult conditions, the repairmen had no other choice.
"Lao Bai, don't be busy now. Just now, this kid Wei Dong came up with another good idea. Let me tell you about it." Niu Zhijun squatted on the ground and told Bai Wanxi everything about "maintenance".
Bai Wanxi's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Even though he is a semi-experienced repairman, he also knows that following Wang Weidong's method can indeed reduce the number of truck problems.
This is definitely a good thing for repairmen.
The truck broke down, the driver was anxious, and the repairman was even more anxious.
Because the drivers are all uncles, as long as they can't handle it well, they will leave the blame to the repairman.
The repairman looked at the various engines and the gearboxes without models, and he felt like crying.
Repairing such a truck is as difficult as repairing a space shuttle.
Moreover, truck drivers are all unreasonable and rough. If the repair cannot be done well, they will really hit someone, which will be painful.
"Take good care of yourself and avoid problems!" Bai Wanxi nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
After finishing speaking, he did not forget to praise: "Wang Weidong, you are so smart."
"Then this matter is settled. Your repairmen will be responsible for maintaining the trucks in the fleet from now on." Niu Zhijun agreed.
"However, we don't understand how often we need to maintain this thing." Bai Wanxi was confused.
The two of them unanimously turned their attention to Wang Weidong.
Wang Weidong frowned and thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "Generally speaking, the trucks in our fleet often run on the road and must be maintained according to mileage, but the odometer on the vehicle is just a decoration."
"Let's maintain it regularly. If we are busy with tasks, we will perform maintenance once a month. If we have few tasks, we will perform maintenance once every two months."
Niu Zhijun nodded: "Yes, Weidong is more thoughtful, so that we can waste less engine oil."
After finalizing the truck maintenance plan, Wang Weidong and Niu Zhijun squatted nearby to watch Bai Wanxi and the others repair the truck.
Only a "dang-dang-dang" sound of a hammer was heard.
"Scream, this thing is a bit thick, the hole is too small!"
"Clang clang clang!"
"If you don't go in yet, I'll knock again!"
"Clang clang clang!"
"Okay, it's tight, it's tight, it's fixed!"
The larger fuel injector was knocked into a machine that did not belong to it with a "clang, clang, clang" sound.
At this time, the faces, cotton jackets, cotton trousers, and even lips of the three repairmen were covered with engine oil.
People who don't know, think they took the engine into pieces.
"Done, I'm freezing to death!"
Bai Wanxi was preparing to pack up the tools on the ground when he accidentally caught a glimpse of a hole in the beam.
Judging from the shape of the hole, it seems that when the truck was heavily loaded, the rear axle sank and hit a protruding stone on the road.
The area around the hole was already covered in rust, and when I used my hand to mold it, the rust fell away.
It seems that if you don’t practice it, it won’t work.
Bai Wanxi stuck his head out: "Captain, you can't leave these days."
"Why, I have to help the local place pull a batch of goods at night. It is a registered assistance task. What will I do if I don't have a car?" Niu Zhijun looked ugly.
These days, there are not many trucks in Beijing, and the trucks in the factory often need to help the local area pull goods. This is called a assistance task.
Registration shows that this is a task, not a "job".
"Jobs" can be turned down, but tasks cannot.
As long as it is a task, it is bigger than the sky.
But what tasks should be performed at night?
Wang Weidong wanted to ask a question, but thought that Niu Zhijun usually looked carefree but had a tight mouth, so he gave up the idea.
Bai Wanxi reluctantly hit the beam with a hammer, and rusty slag fell to the ground.
"No, there is a hole in the beam. If it is not repaired, it may be crushed by heavy objects."
"Just fix it. Don't you know how to weld? Get a steel pipe and weld it on. If it doesn't work, I'll go get a steel plate from the logistics department and ask the master in the first workshop to bend it and weld it on." Niu Zhijun squatted on the ground, watching. That hole, I also realized that this thing would not work unless it was repaired.
Wang Weidong stared at the conversation between the two.
Hey guys, can beams be welded too?
The vehicle frame is just like the frame of the house. It is responsible for supporting the entire vehicle body and must not be sloppy.
In later generations, as long as the vehicle frame was slightly bent in an accident, it was considered a major accident vehicle and could only be disposed of cheaply to second-hand car dealers.
It is unheard of for a beam to have a hole in it and then be welded up and used again.
Even if the car repairman is willing to do this, if the traffic police department finds out, the car owner will be fined.
You are not afraid of death, but the traffic police are afraid of vehicles falling apart on the road and hitting passing vehicles, pedestrians, and flowers.
However, listening to the conversation between Niu Zhijun and Lao Bai, it seems that this is a common thing in the truck fleet of the Red Star Rolling Mill.
Wang Weidong felt it was necessary to check the chassis frame of his truck.
Repairman Bai Wanxi also knew that Niu Zhijun was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
"Captain, you have also seen that there is such a big gap under the truck. We are lying here welding, and there is no use of force at all."
"If you can lift the truck, we three people, three welding guns, skip lunch, promise to help you get it done before two o'clock in the afternoon."
"Lift the truck? Do you think I'm a strong man?" Niu Zhijun also knew that Bai Wanxi was telling the truth, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
Lifting the truck up...A bright light flashed in Wang Weidong's head.
In later generations, Wang Weidong often drove and repaired cars.
Phew, it was to watch the masters repair the car.
In the 4S shop, there is a piece of equipment called a lift that can lift the vehicle.
At roadside car repair shops, there are also racks and trenches to provide a space for car repairmen to repair cars.
The rack is made of red bricks and cement, with two half-meter-high double-sided walls.
The truck drives up and the master can repair the truck down below.
Of course, when the army repairs a vehicle, the soldiers will dig a trench under the vehicle, but the soil is not strong and may collapse.
Thinking of this, Wang Weidong expressed this idea in front of Niu Zhijun and Bai Wanxi.
When the two heard this, they were overjoyed and decided to build a repair station immediately.
Especially for Bai Wanxi, it was freezing. Even though there was a blanket under his body, it felt uncomfortable to lie under it while repairing the car.
