Another great video, being spoilt by so many adverts. Keep up the good work.

[@lemmy9996]

Can't blame Baz for that. Blame Google.

[@some_text_missing]

You only get adverts because you don’t pay for KZbin, put your hand in your pocket, it’s not expensive.

[@llljustcallhimdave]

If its that cheap buy it for them then @@some_text_missing

[@grahammacpherson1589]

Hi baz , I can’t believe anyone would damage the crusher to so much extent and keep running it knowing there where causing so much damage , have some respect for someone else’s machine , great work baz 👍

[@hornetboy3694]

Awesome video, thank you baz & Mr director

[@dannycrooks8462]

It's the small details takes time drilling all the holes and fitting all the brackets

[@forumbezoeker]

Good morning . I saw that you use an open return roller. We have replaced all crushers with a closed roller. goes a lot better, the only thing is. that you should keep a closer eye on the band. because it happens faster. from left to right. good luck

[@philipthomas2452]

Once again amazed at the work you and the boys do. The size and scope of the projects you tackle is fantastic. Please keep up the good work. As always my Saturday mornings here in Florida always start with welder fabber

What the Fox Group is involved in is staggering.

[@arthurchihana4470]

Its out of this world

[@anthonyshaw7251]

Another great video Baz/Director 👍 seems to be a standard link between viewers to likes running at at 10% deficit on most videos. Can’t understand why the other upto 90% don’t just press the like button. 🤔 it’s the same on most channels.

[@welderfabber]

Its fine, 10% is a good number

[@sackvilleweldingservices]

What an episode! Plenty going on there lad. Would I be right to say that you used 7016 welding rods to repair the clam shell bucket? Personally, I prefer 7018 welding rods. Anyway, a great installment to watch and I look forward to the next one tomorrow!

[@ianwebster4329]

Great stuff Baz. Incredible amount of damage to that crusher. Used conveyor definately the way to go, but would it be worth sending the old one to a commercial vehicle chassis aligner to be straightened as a spare?

[@welderfabber]

na it was scrap

[@urdead2meboy]

love it love it love it

[@gm-mech]

Top quality video again Baz and director. Just a quick question do you use solid wire or flux core. If you don’t use flux core would you ever consider using it. Thanks for the videos really help me with a few tricks

[@welderfabber]

Something I’m gonna use in the future mate

[@FeralPreacher]

Another great chronicle, Baz. With all the welding your shop does, do you provision wire by the ton? lol In a week, how much welding wire do you use? Thanks for sharing.

[@welderfabber]

Not that much all depends whats in we mainly on sites

[@rustybycyclebragg9258]

where you get your welding cables from baz?

[@gruunt4064]

being called out at 11.30 pm to go grind and weld outside in the cold is hard graft

[@welderfabber]

its normal, but I'm feeling it these days

[@jackdavid807]

I’m sure this is the same piece of kit he went to give tips on few videos back

[@welderfabber]

Nope that was a J50

[@penningtoncolin]

Bloody hell Baz how does someone damage a machine like that just proves that there are dickheads operating machines nowadays, wouldn't like the bill to repare it,was it on hire in a quary?

[@flatbrokefrank6482]

Hi Baz i know that most plant has a hard life but that crusher has been negligently abused - Stay safe

[@Saki630]

Damn what are they feeding this guy. He works 10hrs, closes his eyes and is called out for a night job then makes it back to the yard at 6am to do it all over again. Good quality cameras make a big difference as the night shots show very well.

[@JonDingle]

Blimey, the crusher has been overloaded and abused a lot by the look of it. Glad I am not facing the repair bill. Another fine installment young man!

[@repaircollc]

Just great content as always, Baz gets to to play with all the toys and get paid to do it. Pay attention boys and girls learn to fix problems and you will never look for work again! Director is doing a fantastic job! Can't wait for the next one. Cheers boys!

[@GrahamWP58]

Avoidable damage done to the screen no excuse for the lack of maintenance on the bearings couple of minutes to grease around in a morning. Amazing content as always and what a treat for 'The Director'. As always Baz crack on lad to the next chapter/edition

[@Smokey1970]

Being a plant hire owner must be frustrating how they switch off from the abuse of kit I don’t know. I can’t and I don’t even own them. Ps thanks for another episode I’ve looked forward to this repair.

[@AnthonyB17]

Great work once again baz and team literally people have no respect for other people stuff these day they deserve the hefty bill at the end of it!!

[@pauljohn6637]

Hi Baz and director. That crusher really had a hiding. As many have mentioned, an experienced hired in operator would of been a good choice. These repair and rental costs for downtime could break the company who rented it? Congrats on the wheels director, sweet. Great content as usual. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇸

[@YGELLYPIKER]

Do you have hassle getting paid in these circumstances by the customer who damage your plant?

[@welderfabber]

not my department

[@vinnypassmore5657]

Nice to see the most important member of the team gets a nice Toyota Hilux to drive around in 😎, loved driving mine, nice bit of kit. Think you know my thoughts on the crusher by now, crazy amount of damage done, most all avoidable. Thanks for sharing guys, have a great weekend.

[@welderfabber]

Thanks 👍

[@2xKTfc]

Older video, but... how is renting out crushers even profitable if they come back like this! Looks like they tried to run a wrecking ball through it. Three of these and you've basically bought a new one. Geeeez. Either your customers pay a lot for insurance (and for good reason) or you're charging them too little for damage.

[@gmcallsuk]

Great content as usual Baz damage to that machine was unbelievable, everywhere you looked, I felt sorry you got called out. Thought the Director would of told you to get your PAPR on for standing grinding and welding inside that bucket.

[@jamesward5721]

See Lads with aircraft hangers where nothing gets done Baz - you've the same as us, tiny workshop where every foot of floor space has to pay. Big workshop, no go, small workshop, all go. Punching above weight.

[@Eavis_excavations]

Hi Baz a great video what a mess that crusher was in that’s some bill they are going to end up with just amazes my have people have not respect for stuff hired stuff should get more respect as you know if u break it you’ll be paying for it

[@johnpeplow3985]

Baz I’m surprised with all the vibrations and shaking the crushers do they aren’t in the workshop every week with cracks and bolts coming loose.

[@rick9380]

Box that frame like the yanks do on hot rods, stop the fucker twisting under stress Baz, save shit loads of money, just saying Baz lad...

[@krisbrzezina2289]

the conveyors look quite flimsy I bet the bearings failed and the conveyor motor has been on its knees trying to turn that's when they've tried to drag the belt round and done the damage 4-5 mm steels no match for a mong in a 20 tonner I wonder if they watch this and are saying it wasn't us

[@steveblanco8812]

"Morning Director nice of you to make it" haha good craic .... Thanks to all involved putting the time in to make and share the all round excellent videos.

[@welderfabber]

Much appreciated!

[@raycollington4310]

A bit sad to see how much abuse that crusher has been subjected to. That was never fair wear and tear. You need the people responsible to be renting kit from your competitors. As ever, the Fox team gets it sorted. Let's hope these videos help get a message out and make people think about the implications for companies like Fox Group. Maybe you need some technology to alert you in these situations. Either way, I had never heard of this company until a few weeks back. Thanks to you I now feel I know it and respect the people making it all happen. Thank you Baz & Co for this one.

[@JohnfromEngland]

If it’s one of your own machines don’t you have a drawing of it when it was first manufactured and of any modification done to it Thus making the manufacture of a new frame a lot easier

[@donnykiofetzis5775]

it looks like some earthmoving machine back into it. pushing the front in causing the frame to collapse

[@allenbrown7820]

Great video! I’m jealous, the Director’s ride sounds much better than Baz’s ! Good score on the conveyor frame, that will save some time. Y’all Be Safe!

[@fendt5163]

Yeh I was thinking it must be a V8 Hilux🤣

[@stacyscholes6760]

Example of people not being arsed about about other people's equipment

[@miketaylor8777]

Excellent video Baz/Director. Maybe someone somewhere will get the hands in their pocket for some training in using plant, got to be better value than paying the repair bill. Good to see the Director now has wheels. Looking forward to tomorrow's instalment.

[@ypaulbrown]

amazing the quality of work you chaps do, cheers from Florida, Paul

[@daranross2424]

I hope the people who hired it pay for the damage what a state, Great Vids Baz keep up the good work.

[@jonlowe8727]

Bet the cost of hiring an operator with the crusher doesn't seem expensive now. Nice to see Lukes stands getting used though. Congrats on the new wheels Director, another great chronicle from you and Baz. Keep em coming boys 💪

[@welderfabber]

will do

[@dannycrooks8462]

I'm just talking about buying a bare frame

[@crazyedits50]

Good things come to those who wait. And as always great content delivered to a wanton audience. Shocking all that damage to that crusher baz. Someone needs firing for all that. Good on you and your team for showing it how it is pal. Looking forward to tomorrows episode 😊

[@chrisivekich7188]

I like the fact that you speed up the video to show what is involved in striping down plant, instead of just clipping to the end 👍

[@andyhill447]

We have 6m wheel wash for sale used need bit of work working when dismantled was going to send to sale AanV Squires but needs 3 phase

[@welderfabber]

we dont 3 phase we need a quiet 1 too

[@seagullsbtn]

Thats definitely a hurting plant......

[@chuckholmberg5728]

Hell yes can’t get enough of these videos Baz keep the videos coming

[@welderfabber]

will do

[@andywest3260]

I think the answer to that is miss use of equipment

[@dannycrooks8462]

What would it not be more cost effective buying a new frame would they not have a frame in stock

[@welderfabber]

time if we are too busy is valuable but its a 5-6 wait to get 1 so we would of made it

[@stephendutton2890]

Great video again Baz and Director,can’t believe the amount of damage to the crusher absolutely criminal when I had my own grab lorry I’d of gave my right arm for a crusher like that,great work getting it back together 💪👌

[@welderfabber]

worst Ive worked on

[@johncone9516]

Would it not be feasible to weld a piece of 4in angle down each side of the tubes on the bucket?

[@welderfabber]

Good idea 👍

[@deancav715]

I can't believe the damage that was done to that crusher it was never ending I wouldn't of liked to get hit with that repair bill hopefully they start treating other people's equipment with more respect. Well lads once again another quality video I can't wait for tomorrow. Yous are smashing this KZbin game!!!!

[@welderfabber]

thanks

[@jamessbryne]

Love the videos but you were a bit of a knob to the painter

[@randytravis3998]

Looks to be a great video

[@j-mlundkvist9321]

Baz, I really think you should invest into some kito chain and leverhoists. They're a pretty buck but I promise it's for a good reason.

[@grahammacpherson1589]

Hi baz , I can’t believe anyone would damage the crusher to so much extent and keep running it knowing there where causing so much damage , have some respect for someone else’s machine , great work baz 👍

[@DXT61]

Wonder why across the pond the haul trucks are majority cab over compared to the US? Back in the 70-80s there was a lot more here.

[@paddymurray2758]

Well Baz & Director what’s the craic? Great video obviously who ever had the crusher on hire must have been operating it with the “it’s a rental don’t be gentle” attitude, brutal abuse on a machine. Directors new motor is nice…next he will have a chopper like Foxies!! Ya need a T shirt with “I’m back i’nt yard”….🤣

[@TruckerMRB]

Enjoyed the video start/ finish.. excellent 👌👍

[@alanclark639]

Bit of a result finding that conveyor frame - I still wouldn't want the bill! Goes to show that there are still muppets out on site - exact opposite of your operator on the camshell - he managed to lay it down and pick it up without any sliding - no more than he should be able to do but sadly worth mentioning when I see it done well - don't have to look inside those rail waggons for damage either cos' I know there won't be any. Great job for all concerned, Good ariel shots in the dark from The Director too.

[@ShalomBrother]

Is there no way of strengthening them clamp buckets at that weld? You always seem to be going out fixing them

[@Studio-gp4nk]

Great work. Looks like it’s been driven into something? There’s a good opportunity to weld in some lifting eyes whilst the conveyor is off for potential future removal. Great content as always and some good working practices. Hats off to you all.

[@jamesbarnes7802]

A tube over the welds on the pipe on the bucket would be much harder to remove in the future if needed. Would 4 or 6 long straight bars welded over be strong enough and also easier to remove if needed in the future. Also the more of your videos I watch the more I think your boss must be an amazing person especially how he has got behind you and the director with this channel.

[@aidan-ns3ki]

How the heck could somebody do so much damage to a machine is beyond thinking the mind just boggles but fair play to ya baz for keeping a cool head . Rock on lad

[@PP-kf1jx]

Fantastic content Baz and love the directors new truck there is no excuse for the extensive abuse on the crusher, some people are just animals stay safe regards-Paul P

[@tosh9120]

The lads that had that J45 on hire need a boot to the bollox. Great content, keep up the first class videos. 👍

[@SlopedOtter]

Having your pants down sending all of these out without operators

[@Blackopsmechanic338]

Another great video of the details of work!! The director’s new truck will be easy to see a mile away with all the signage😂😂.

[@tentotwo8290]

The heavy music doesn’t do it for me. Love the content though 👍 thanks for going to the effort to make it

[@peacockealot]

I’d guess that someone has tried to lift the front end of the crusher using an excavator under the conveyor looking at how some of the supports are bent up.

[@sargentslaughter3509]

Looks like you gents had your work cut out for you for sure. Keep up the good work!

[@charleynewell6604]

Boom what a video the shots with the drone and when baz was weiding at the rail yard also the music the best video in my opinion can't wait till Sunday episode 👌👊👍

[@abuubaydullah1]

Its always the same just when you think that you're about to start getting a head with the buckets something comes along, great video director with top-notch content Baz .

[@fru1t1]

👍👍👍

[@leshall4285]

Another quality episode, that crusher has had serious operator abuse and wasn't done in a day , total lack of respect for other companies gear

[@philmulrooney7020]

What goes through the heads of operators that allows them to make decisions that result in the extent of damage shown on this crusher.

[@mattlee8628]

Yes

He's hard to pin down

[@lesscurr4108]

When you send a operator what do they do all day to cover the the cost

[@bobmckenzie425]

Hello from Canada! Always astounds me how rental units are abused by "customers" and then totally surprised that you hold them acountable! I'm guessing that that machine is well over 2-4 hundred thou pounds. What is your guess approx that this repair will cost compared to purchase price? Very curious, Bob. Is there such a thing as black balling a client? after seeing this vid, I know I would NOT rent them even a wheelbarrow!

[@welderfabber]

try 500

[@lesliegrahambettley8136]

Blumin heck baz I’ve bin construction most of my life. I have never seen such incompetence of a hirer with a peace of kit like that. You run around like a blue arse fly ( lol) I love ya stuff that u & dicrector do . Keep safe reagards Les from North Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@welderfabber]

thanks les

[@paulnolan1352]

Cheers Baz and Director. Fell on your feet with that main Conveyor for the J45. I remember doing the same repair on the main Conveyor on a Robotrac that had been hit by the Ostrich at the Steelworks, surprisingly the Conveyor sections weren’t a bad price. Changing the Cone and Mantle isn’t a bad job to do although if you’re pulling the Shaft out it is a big job. Pegson Automax the last one I did. All the best B&D.

[@welderfabber]

My instagram has a lot of reach

[@petes7796]

I’m from upstate New York in the construction business. Love your videos Baz.😊

[@welderfabber]

thanks pete

[@RichardArblaster]

That's a lot of damage 😮😮😮

[@petegraham1458]

That piece of equipment looks to have been abused by the operator , that’s an expensive repair both in down time , labour and replacement parts . It’s not inexpensive to haul these from and to the work site . I don’t know how your lease agreements work , but in North America the operator would be billed as responsible for anything other than “ normal wear and tear” failure to lubricant, make adjustments and set up properly are all on the operator.

[@welderfabber]

Thats why we recommend our op's

Wow.....how can people be so lazy and not maintain such an expensive piece of kit or run it correctly..I don't think I'd like the invoice for the repair !! 😮 A great vlog as per Baz.....and a lovely new motor for the director too!! That wheel wash looks one helluva beast to bring back to life..looks like what you see in the Yukon in an iron mining grave yard.
