Looks similar to the frackers I used to manufacture. I had fun cutting these on a cnc machine and then taking it to deburr then immediately stuffing them. Sometimes I personally did all the work from raw forging to finished product and out the door. 4 days for one block if one person is doing all the work.
There's a surprising amount of haters here. We know who you are, the guys that stay in the van when there's work to be done outside. Haters and limp wrists
I've seen those seat pullers jump two feet in the air. We always connected a chain to them and to a hard point after one almost took out a guy at the yard.
Pu--y a-- fluid end. Get you some y style fluid end. I miss it. Did 7 years frac tx oklahoma pennsylvania louisiana. No frac god just a sorry ass mechanic. 10
How y'all get those keepers in by hand? I always have to use a hammer handle from the top. I know put purse away right 😂😂. Good job, my fastest was 18 minutes on a destiny, with 1 other guy
The new quints with the stay rods super close together make it a pain for packing. The spm keepers are easier to get in by hand with the 4 inch rather than the 4 1/2 I think. Put the front of the keeper at a big angle down and jam the back down and they are in. I've been fracing for about a year and found that out the hard way. Practice makes perfect
Matt Williams, Are you implying that I’m lying ? Well from your keen insight you must be a direct descendant of Byron Jackson. Lol. We powered down pumps that were “ jacking off “ lol and brought up others, extra horsepower just for that reason to maintain the rate typically 100 BPM at 3000 psi ; Mississippian formation at about 8,000 depth in central Oklahoma mostly. We would typically return to the yard in Yukon, OK ( BJ Hughes ) and swap valves seats, springs there. Never did a frantic swap for a speed record. We did that trying to get set up or break out though . 1981 through 83’ till the barrel price crashed.. I was also a Blender Tender ( 100 percent manual valves ) better have your shit tougher and did some Cementing
For a tri. Those crushcaps make it easier. And they have nice tools that seem to be well taken care of. The allthread is clean and not buggered up with burs which helps. I hate when I come from days off and tools are all messed up. Makes the job harder than it has to be
