This thread has proper cheered me up, I’m only knee deep in shite at the moment some of you boys look like you end up 20ft under ?

Wouldn’t worry about welding an oil tank as long as your not doing long runs. Used to build canal boats and regularly had to go out to repairs. Never drained the Diesel tanks when welding and nothing’s ever blown up, just make sure it’s not a sealed container.
Anything flash flammable is a different story!

One of my crushers jaws failed in spectacular fashion, the lower shaft being nearly 50mm thick snapped, and one of  the ram lugs also sheared.

Luckily,mi have a new ram, jaw, shaft all in stock, so i should get it back up and on the hire fleet before too long

Bearing overheated, blew a tyre, jolt seemed to send the other side cambered in and rubbing, pair of axles of E-Bay for a couple of hundred quid, bit of mackling and I’ve got a much nicer twin axle machine. Though I’d give the knives some much needed love and after sitting a while had to get some dead dinos on the case.

Not broke but incredibly annoying, wire was a total pita to get untangled and hot the cluck that branch got wedged in there I don't know but it did not want to come out!

That wire looks easy removable I hit a old bed spring mattress with a flail hedge cutter to a gas axe to free it up.

I arrived at a site in Southampton with the Awhi and tracked to the piece of scrub I was clearing, I picked up 100ft of Matador cable within 5 yards. I doubt a cordless grinder  would have tackled that. I always carried a portapac of Oxy-acetylene and a small 2t genset and angle grinder just for such eventualities.

Ouch, way to spoil your day.
