Proven track record in optimizing farm efficiency and enhancing diesel engine performance, notably with Atkins Cattle Co. Lillyvale cattle company and Jacks Diesel and Custom Fabrication. Expert in farm equipment operation and demonstrating a strong work ethic. I have varied in multiple dozer, grader and tractor overhauls doing full strips to chassis with engine, transmissions, torque converter rebuilds, as well as full hydraulic overhauls with hoses and valve resealing. I have mechanical knowledge from basic motors like whipper snippers and mowers through to cars, trucks, graders, tractors, dozers forklifts and loaders. I have been in charge of multiple apprentices even ranging from when i was still in training to now. I have a wide range of mechanical knowledge and am willing to expand.
