Lawrence has been taking care of the Hudson River Park Trust's fleet of vehicles since 2001.

Park staff brought Diesel-powered Toro Number 58 into the Operations & Maintenance mechanic shop at Pier 40, complaining of vibrations and rattling sounds.

After road-testing the vehicle, Anderson works with Dodd to diagnose the problem. Anderson has been working at the Park since 2005. He loves the park and enjoys the work environment.

Yesterday, Toro Number 58 was put up on the lift.

The starter, exhaust system, hydraulic hoses, electric system, and the gear-shift cables are removed or detached before the transmission can be taken out.

After the pressure plate is removed, the clutch is removed and examined. Lawrence and Anderson determine that parts of the clutch are worn out and need to be replaced.
