Reaper crew doing something halfass no way. The dad probably took half the money and said only do half the welds LoL

[@imasmartidiot3330]

You're going to keep breaking belts with you bend that v belt over backwards with belt tensioner because the v belts ain't meant to be bent over backwards you need to find a defender way. To tight the belt to where it not being bent backward

[@MrE30]

Sure stand there and film belts smoking and snapping several times to create video content. In discovery’s world that makes it dramatic, well it’s idiotic same as some of the gold rush staged dramatic things. I’d never get bored or watching genuine ordinary day to day dredging or mining with gold weighing at the end. I’m Sure Shawn, Parker, Tony etc think you’ve lost the plot most of the time.

[@brentfarvors192]

Having discover pay you thousands per day sure beats havimg to mine for gold...BTW; Series.was.canceled, so, no more wasted belts(or any other staged disasters)...

[@frankreedIII]

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN????? GREAT TO HAVE YOU BACK!!!!

[@russellrobinson505]

Hey Shawn! Have you seen the long reach they have now? That would put you on lots more virgin digs!

[@Helmut.Schmacker]

Nobody cares about the effing mechanical problems!

[@larry7977]

This dude is an absolute joke, Every thing he has his hands in is a disaster

[@ski6712]

it was pretty obvious the new belt needed tensioning before attempting to start that big shaker screener with enough inertia to smoke the loose belt and then the amplitude of the shaker throws it off 3 belts in a row until the last one😳

[@brentfarvors192]

That one person that still thinks this is reality...

[@mr_free_soul4]

Old😂😊

[@neildewitt2869]

Smoking the belt or motor!

[@danthurman9076]

Time for a new set of 3 groove sheaves.

[@neildewitt2869]

A real mechanic would fix the alinement.

[@shephusted2714]

too many employees

[@777Dorado]

Am I understanding that correctly a 40K weld job!!..his investor better start asking for receipts. It sounds like he gave him a blank check, cause he didnt know what his money is being spent on. Its hard enough to really believe the things Kelly says, it's not always on the level. Kelly is really hard to trust, Anyone who has followed along this series a good while knows it.

Surely you'd drop that child if he spoke to you like that
