Andrew, I was a plumber, sometimes a contractor for 35 years. It is always hard to see a good tool go away, but thirty five years taught me several things, and one was that my trade ate tools. they went faster if I didn't take care of them, but there was always a day when they were no longer worth repairing them. Rest in Peace of for some like the Pettibone, maybe resurrection, and another tough life. It did well for you for quite a while, you did well to get off while the getting was good. You parted with ten fingers and ten toes. Some days , that is as good as it gets.Glad you are OK and will do better!

It happens. I was driving a HMWWV up a steep hill in Afghanistan when it hit a jutting rock and starting to go end for end back down the mountain. Yeah, I jumped out real quick, saved my life, the vehicle was obliterated when it finally came to a stop. Sad thing is, it could have all been avoided, if the Captain had just listened to me about positioning a retrans station for comms. There was a good location about a mile down that was more easily accessible, but more remote. However, Captain trumps Sergeant, so I was ordered up that mountain. He tried to have me charged under the UCMJ for destruction of Government property and insulting an Officer. Luckily the Lt. Colonel heard my side of the story and witness stories and laughed at the Captain. Good times, I miss the Corps.

Excellent Choice Andrew- Eject! Last week I had a runaway engine on my 2003 Impala. Faced with a similar situation but couldn't bail at 80 mph+ on the highway. I was in Cruise Control at 60 mph, hit the accelerate button 5 times really fast, then hear a wide open roaring throttle and the tranny shift from 4th to 2nd. I'm thinking what the hell this ain't right. Now at 70, I'm still accelerating, so I tap the brake which is supposed to turn off CC. Nope still going. Now over 75. I flip CC switch to off, no help, engine still roaring, now at 80. I step on brakes fully in hopes it will cut CC and slow me down at same time, no help, brakes just slowed down acceleration rate a bit and a curve in the highway is ahead of me and I have to come off brakes or the rotors will melt. Now 85+, OH hell, time to cut power. I turned off ignition switch being careful to just go down one step to the "acc" position. I don't have power steering but I didnt lock the steering wheel. Gracefully slow down and pull over. Yikes! And yes, I removed the CC cable from my throttle body.

You don't know me from Adam, but I am so glad you are ok man. I turned several of my friends, that work for a living as well, onto your channel. We enjoy how you show mistakes and mishaps; but damn man, this one caught me off guard! This serves as a reminder to keep situational awareness in mind and have a plan incase of emergency... Like bailing and not getting ran over! GLAD YOU PULLED THE EJECTION HANDLE IN TIME.

It amazes me how calm you are! Nothing seems to phase you. I guess when there is nothing you can’t fix or do, you have a different perspective. You are the man! Great stuff

1:17am, 5 minutes ago. Nice. I wasn't ready to go to sleep or anything. :) Very smart choice to bail out. Equipment can be replaced or repaired. You can not. No one got hurt and you can work another day.

I had a gut tell me: "When a piece of equipment tries to kill me, I get rid of it" and now we know why Andrew bought another crane for the castle project.

That track loader just sounds so amazing. One of my favorite pieces of equipment you own.
@brentbarnhart58273 жыл бұрын
Your comment on being LUCKY Andrew is exactly correct. Being a professional and working with this equipment you know the dangers when things are going RIGHT and when they are going or about to go WRONG. And that is when you make decisions like a professional without hesitation. Good job. Not sure I would say you were "lucky" either, but I am glad you were not hurt or anybody else.

Nice job tipping it back up. Good thing it drives low speed. I'd get the slip yoke replaced on the bent driveshaft. My Dad worked in the woods on logging equipment, They had a line machine that would lose the brakes on the carrier when engine died. One time it went over the bank. Dad went up to get it upright and back on the road. The operator after jumping out on the high side said, "Bill I'm gonna change my shorts and eat my lunch". Dad repaired and replaced sheet metal. Next time the same machine went over, they had the same operator. Brakes were fine, he had a heart attack and was dead before it went over the bank. Again Dad fixed all the damage and had it back to work the next week. RIP Dad you taught me so much.

The level of understatement while casually delivering easily the most interesting and well edited content is mind boggling. Good thing, you are alright.

One 19 year old was cut in half from a crane recently I’m glad your okay. It’s so easy for things to get dangerous

I am impressed with your field repair on the driveshaft. That looked like a Rockwell 7C series joints with LWTHRD or low wing threaded cap universal joints. The phasing is out also. But again, a nice get it moving repair sir. Be watching The new owner fix it up. Thanks for the vid.

22:00 and onwards; the universal sounds of fighting hard-to-reach parts from an awkward position. I felt that.
@c103110a3 жыл бұрын
Trying to hold something up while bolting it in place is a bitch. The part can weigh only 10 pounds and, after 15 minutes of frustration, it feels like 100 pounds. It happens to me changing starters on my back.

Best way to say: "Okay, i tried to be nice to you. I tried to be harsh to you, but now you force me to get REALLY ANGRY! And you WONT like me when i'm angry!" when you fix something. XD Just like the Tool Expectations Meme. Starting nice and going up till "Cant be tight if its a liquid."
