Does anyone have go to websites or methods for finding manuals for equipment?

I’m going into my 3rd year of my apprenticeship, no prior experience. I’m doing oil changes on gear reducers in the pump room at my work. After finishing one of the oil changes I start it up and notice there is a ticking noise coming from the gear box. After confirming the oil level is correct, the oil is correct and running through several other possibilities. I come to the conclusion that the gears must be worn. I bring it up to one of my seniors to get his input and to see if we should go ahead and replace it. He said not to worry about if it’s still working. I was curious what your guys thoughts on this.

Edit: it’s a reducer for a material blower system (pretty small, could hold in my hand) I changed the oil on two other reducer prior to this using the same oil pan as I moved down the line. When I started on this one it didn’t have any noise that I noticed. All I needed to do was shut the system down, open up the drain plug and drain the oil. Refill to fill line and restart the machine. Refilled with mobile SHC 630 oil as recommended and on paperwork. Once I noticed the noise I looked into the pan and noticed some specks in there but couldn’t confirm if any of them were from the current gearbox since I used the same pan for each one I did or if it was from stuff falling in. I decided to clean out the pan and redo the oil change to see if I noticed anything. There didn’t seem to be anything. The clicking noise is closer to the shaft that connect to the motor and is in time with the rotation.

I’m looking into wild camping in national forest so I can spend a weekend or two a year being in the wilderness nude and away from the hustle and bustle. I feel this is the best way to find some solitude and just get away for a little bit.

Has anyone else gone wild camping?

Would the Doctor be able to take down the world government? If so, how long would it take?

Would the doctor be able to take down the world government? If so, how long do you think it would take?

What do you think would happen if the doctor found himself in the supernatural universe with his tardis and sonic screwdriver?

Would he be able to handle all of the threats?

How would an interaction with Sam and Dean go?

You can pick whichever doctor and companion you would like.

I’m an apprentice Millwright, the most it affects my lifestyle is making me want to shed the clothes even more since I wear heavy jeans and long sleeves work shirts. By the end of the day I’m full of grease and grime. The people I work with are all pretty conservative and to me don’t seem to be the type that would be open to the idea (I could be wrong) so I keep my outside life to myself.
