SHOP PLANNING

For next years shop planning, you may want to consider the suggestions passed along by

Bob Wines, Ocala, Florida, for a more efficient shop operation.

Shown here are his methods for storage of drive shafts, gear cases and/or gearcase assemblies for ready accessibility to save shop time.

Drive shafts are apt to get mixed up. Many

of them look alike but slight differences make them suitable for certain models only. To hunt them when needed only takes time - wasted time. Stored in a rack with each properly identified as to part and model number, it's only a ma'er of seconds to select the correct one for a specific job.

Gearcases or gear case assemblies are costly and difficult to store - stacked individually, they require a lot of bin space. But racked in "slots't a'ached to an unused wall, they are not only well protected against shelf damage but available at a moments glance when required - a bit of time saving here to help make your shop operation more efficient and profitable.
