Well it didn’t go to plan / if something doesn’t look or sound right it probably isn’t !

Join me for a day ! A plant mechanic in the north of the England, servicing and repairing mainly Develon & Mecalac construction equipment on building sites, quarries and forestry. In this episode I’ll be trying to get a machine to run properly the problem is it runs fine while I’m there !

[@bennoben1653]

Don’t miss out on them early years mate , you won’t get them back , enjoy them when you have them. They grow up fast !!!

[@alisdiggerdiary]

So everyone tells me I do what I can to be back for 7 sometimes it can’t be helped but that’s the goal at the start of the day get home and have a bit of time with them 🤞

[@mattbetts3885]

Got to love a fix ….even if it takes a few goes….doing your employer proud. keep up the vids…..a great watch. Just spent the best part of a day hunting a missing 12v on a 24v unimog (project). Found them is a crusty light switch. Happy days.

[@alisdiggerdiary]

Thanks Matt 👍👍 I’d say 80% of the time it’s the filter head and the rest the pump but turns out it can be a stupid fitting 😂😂

[@cstew8355]

Is your autolube guy called vinnie little old cockney fella?

[@alisdiggerdiary]

No I don’t think so

[@alan2489]

[@alisdiggerdiary]

[@PK_Blinder]

Just saw a walk around the show on Charlotte Ashley's video..

[@davidcornwell9820]

I will try and get sometime next year and come and see you at the show bud and the hydraulic pump video will be interesting to watch

[@craigrennie5458]

Great video love this all big boys and girls toys how fun

[@colinsbikerides3973]

Interesting video Al, nothing wrong in having pride in your work and wanting to get to the bottom of a problem, no matter how long it may take. Also, didn't rickerby fix the lamppost Ollieblogs whacked (or more to the point, his mate) with his combine ... he's at the rickerby show in one of his latest videos.

[@alisdiggerdiary]

Yea there was a rickerby competition at the show to get your picture next to the lamp post to win a free jacket 😂 I think the lamp post still has a bit of a lean to it 🫣

[@johnwaby4321]

That's how some faults go sometimes. You think you fixed it stay while its running for a bit then goes faulty again .at least you got it fixed . You will know for next time. Show looks good .Hope you made some sales 👍👍👍👍

[@alisdiggerdiary]

The show went well very busy and lots of enquiries 👍👍

[@stevenyeats7088]

Good to see you removed the new pump when the old one was fine saving the customer, not all fitters/companies would do that. With any luck the next generation they might move the pump next to the filters👍

[@alisdiggerdiary]

Yea no longer a Perkins engine and the pump it just inside the door which means it’s easy to access which means it won’t give any problems 😂😂😂

[@penningtoncolin]

Hi Ali you OK mate you sound a bit down mate everyone has bad days that sometimes last a week or so but soon the sun will out and summer here everything will be fine mate good videos enjoy them thankyou 👍

[@alisdiggerdiary]

Cheers Collin doesn’t matter what you do for work you’ll have good days and bad I’m probably a bit hard on my self when I don’t fix something 🤦‍♂️😂

[@nickbaxter2325]

Great videos keep them coming What model milwaaukee transfer pump do use

[@alisdiggerdiary]

Next time I have it out I’ll show it in the video 👍👍

[@Ian6630premium]

Do you find plant running on white diesel have less fuel problems than those running on red?

[@alisdiggerdiary]

No not really to be honest and I generally found building sites were the worst spots for fuel contamination

[@anthonyshaw7251]

Top video, your due diligence & integrity are why customers request you when they need track pads Ali & that’s why a dealer gets involved with such jobs. For anyone one who wants to learn how to apply yourself, here ends the lesson. 👌🙏🙏👍

[@alisdiggerdiary]

Thanks Anthony I appreciate that I was surprised given that at the start of the previous video I highlighted the fact that I won’t be the fastest and cheapest at doing the track job but I still got comments about how long and expensive that job would be 🤯 thanks for taking my corner 🫡

[@anthonyshaw7251]

We cut from same cloth bro, got your back, I’m optimistic that our paths will cross. Yeah I know exactly why you stated that, your customers appreciate what you do & that means a lot. 🙏👍👌👌👌

[@williamberry1621]
