    Great video. Brings back a lot of memories. Spent 11 years on work over rigs from 1977-1988. From floors through the ranks to operator then to tool pusher at 22 during the 80’s boom and back to operator after the 80’s bust. Only 2 of my original crew are left. My brother and me. They have gone home. I miss those guys.

      Lol you work for too cheap of companies then. Anyone worth a f flushes the rods before pulling (unless you're stripping or fishing). But I've worked for a bunch of then mom and pop Co that don't care about the ground or the hands working with the rods.

    • @ipkiss6375
      @ipkiss6375 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The rod transfer is attached like the other ones. The camera can not pick up the small cable attached to it because of how hard it has to work to pick up the red mesh behind it. You can see the hook tho on the top of the transfer because it is much larger then the cable. If you rewind and pay attention to the other safety cables holding the other transfers the cables disappear sometimes at the right angle.
