Worst smelling the final drive on a D7 that had been working in a dairy barn. The combination of 90W gear oil, and cow #1 and #2 made for quite an odor on a 90 degree plus day.
The cleanest, and best smelling was repairing a laundry machine in an area hospital. I had to fabricate a shaft, and a mount, and mount it all on the machine. This was to replace one that had originally been mounted into a machined place on a cast iron frame, after it spun, due to lack of grease, and damaged the frame beyond economical repair.
Tightest place to work, was inside a hydraulic, telescoping boom on a truck crane. I had just enough room to lay back over the winch, and slide in under the extension cylinder. Once in place I could rotate my body just enough to work with one hand and get the hydraulic line back on the 'monkey' that carried it inside the boom. Only took me two days.....
The highest places have been was a job helping mount an antenna 230 feet up on a water tower, and a line boring job about 100 feet up on a portal crane.
The lowest would be around 300 feet plus down in a quarry working on a crane being used to dropball oversized rocks.
The worst I just did. It was going behind someone who had no clue what he was doing to get the hydraulic system he screwed up right again. It's the first time I have ever gotten completely frustrated doing a job and just had to quit, several times, to keep myself 'sane'.
The wide variety of places and jobs is one of the things I love about my job.

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
