NCWayne on the crawler forum was talking about repairing machinery in some bad spots,like tunneling under a machine to get belly pan off of a bulldozer. How about tell your most difficult or unusual repair story.
I was tearing down a huge two story house with an excavator and was on top of an 8ft tall pile of debris when Felt the travel go weak and the hyd. pump start to cavitate. What had happened a line going to one of the travel motors had blown out. One end only had to remove cover.The other required tunneling under machine to get up into the turn table. several hours later digging and chain sawing we were able to get under the machine and lay in the oil soaked debris and take the other end loose and replace hose.
My BIL was driving a big wrecker and got a call to move a garbage truck that had broken a joint at a busy intersection. He gets to the truck and juice and maggots are dripping from under it. He calls his boss explains situation and tells him that there is no way he is getting underneath that truck to take the drive shaft out. Boss tells him to do it or lose his job.BIL tells him he will be back to the shop to park the wrecker in just a few minutes. Boss relented and told him to hook to the truck and get it out of the road he would get the municipality to send someone to remove drive shaft so he could bring it in.
How about Yall?

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
