Jaimie needs a machinist with all the old trucks. Losing the Mack to a fire was bad, but things happen. Trucks and machinery breaks when it’s run hard, especially in cold weather.
I watched what happened in upstate NY with a winter where it went below 32 degrees for over 4 months and was down below -20 and the metal started snapping like it was brittle glass Door handles would snap like twigs Door handles on houses snapped right off Cold is brutal on metal
From the look of that broken part, one of those cracks is a LOT older than the other. Black coated in oil/greese vs a clean cast crack. I'd suggest, using the broken one as a template, get a couple new ones cast up and machined as spares. Eventually you'll break another in the cold.
Yeah well, this truck has seen a lot of days & for a "part" to break is doubtfully the fault of not doing proper maintenance? Basically you keep them clean & well lubed up. Other than that it's hard to say what all the weather & weight that part has carried might have been the final straw? At least they caught it here/now.... not out on the road w/ a truck hanging off the winch. Kool to see these hard parts as they go bad but that's all this was.... this mechanic didn't cause this. Good thing they caught it here at home.
Yep, as I thought & thing is that the thing was cracked for God knows how long before the thing sheered off? So there was a crack that was disguised in the rust, oil, and grease...... that was a tough piece of metal. peace
Because they're reliable and they'll outwork the new ones. I'm a conductor on a class one. Every single four axle (little engine) is between 40-50 years old, and we still use them every day, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
One thing I have noticed that nobody mentions, is how much more difficult it must be for Al, Gord, Jamie and the rest of the guys to drive those rigs with the camera lights on in the cabs !
As a old school mechanic myself, I kept most parts and pieces from old wrecks and reused some parts that were not damaged or were able to be rebuilt. Lots of times rigs that have been on the road for years now have unattainable parts. No need to park something because of a simple valve body or part that now can not be sourced. I admit to being worried for the new truck stability with the roadbed being that soft and showing signs of giving up the stability of your newer wrecker
He had to have flicked those straps and said that’s going nowhere 😂. The Good Lord was watching over him to come out of that wreck alive and mostly unscathed. I know first hand how dangerous being a tow operator is in the City. My dad was one for the last 6 years of his life. He loved most of the people he came into contact with but had a lot of close calls on the highway also. He passed from cancer and not by an accident. I couldn’t imagine the dangers of being in the bush on dirt roads doing stuff that the roads or the equipment were never designed to do.
