It would depend on how many screw-ups he’s had or if he is a good operator and this is his first. On a long day, on a crew, sh** happens

Neither were fired and both deemed partially at fault. One definitely should’ve looked and the other shouldn’t have been there. Been a year or so though and neither work here anymore. It’s basically a revolving door of operators coming in and out around these parts….

Agree---A proper size excavator with a shear would be on the order of the Big Muskie. To properly
snip -scrap trucks & earthmoving equipment. It should have a shear/snip that could handle two
D10's at once or 5 semi trucks side by side. Like a gigantic T-Rex gobbling up large steel machinery
and turning it into bite size pieces. :)

Maybe Vtech's crew's been working on it.

Wondering what these funny shoulder bolts are left over from.

Seems a bit more oil should have come out of there too ?

To reply to all of the above replies about how that happened. I like posting things like that
because it creates a guessing game for others of {Martha look what some lowlife sack of
manure did to this truck, why any halfwit moron can see the idjit popped the clutch, I tell'ya
Martha what's the world coming too.}

Many ring gears are riveted to carrier case, and rivets fail. Rockwell used rivets for years,
SQ100's was a common one from factory with rivets. GMC/Chevrolets liked rivets also on
some larger corp drive axles. If those fail at 60 mph road speed just what kind of chaos
do you folks think is going to take place.

That one has been around for awhile on FB. More than likely--slightly out time on cam by
the way it fired---but starting without Ex Man and turbo is stupid to say the least.

Don't have a photo--but the old boss told me this morning of a carnage incident on one
that was headed to the stockyard for trade in. Was in a Detroit authorized repair shop in
Idaho--anywho upon starting it ventilated--ruptured the block in the shop on start up.
Didn't get the full details but that shop is stuck for a DD15.
