I would bet it fell due to ice buildup on the boom or w/e you call it. Since the entire base flipped as well it doesn't look like a cable system issue caused it. N/M just read the article. I'm dumb.

That and DeBlasio kinda being tone deaf by saying, "Thank God it was not worse." I'm pretty sure killing a bystander by crane is pretty much as bad as it gets, failing knocking down a building; yes it could have been worse, but you get slaughtered in the news if you don't acknowledge everyone like a snowflake hero.

Slavvy posted:Bummer. For some reason I thought the new R1 had a cassete gearbox so when I first read about it I thought it'd be a piece of piss. A guy at a local dealer told me they were panicking because they needed some special tool that Yamaha NZ had yet to even bring into the country despite already sending out the recall letters. This sounds plausible but if it's true, what is the tool for? It would have been a bunch easier if it was a cassette style. The only special tool I can think of is the socket for the castelated tension bolt for the frame / engine mounting points. If there were really in a pinch, a dealer could have found some appropriate sized steel tube, cut properly sized notches into one end and welded a nut or socket to the other end. In other recall related news, a bunch of newer DL650s, and other bikes that share the same engine are getting cams and buckets! As always, KTMs are garbage.

Well I know on my new holland at work it will scream a buzzer at you if you get out of the seat with the pto engaged or the handbrake off, but it certainly won't stop moving if you have the shuttle for the transmission engaged. That and getting into a moving tractor is asking to be killed- those rear tyres could have half a tonne of ballast in them, each, not to mention the weight of the tractor itself.

I'd REALLY like to know more about the broken... um air chisel accessory there. I went to the first day of a Hunter alignment class today, and he talked about special air hammer things that can get rusted suspension parts unstuck like magic. The techs at my shop have been using acetylene and propane torches on rusted parts which I'm told is bad for a large number of reasons.

0toShifty posted:I'd REALLY like to know more about the broken... um air chisel accessory there. That is a snap on "gold" air hammer bit. Gold is supposed to be their best metal quality but maybe its just so they can charge 50 bucks for a single bit. Its very very hardened steel and its intended purpose is hammering out u joints but its mostly used as just an air powered hammer. When it breaks I can tell you now that it would have most definitely taken out some of my teeth had it not missed my head or broken a windshield had there been a car in the bay behind me. Ford Focus's struts sit sleeved and clamped in the knuckle as opposed to bolted on top of it. And when a car spends 10 years driving on Wisconsin salt roads it will not come off without using methods not mentioned by ASE training. As far as your shop, yea you dont want to use heat on aluminum parts as it can weaken them but regular metal doesn't really mind as long as you dont shock the poo poo with water and instead let it cool naturally or with a fan. (my theory anyway) if you dont use acetylene to get poo poo apart and live in a rusty part of the world, good luck getting poo poo done.Especially exhaust. Tell me how you would take out rusted nuts off of studs on a converter/down pipe with out breaking the converter flange? And speaking of alignments, good luck breaking loose rusted jam nuts without a torch. Every bay in my shop has its own torch hanging from a hose spool.

Using O/A will detemper the metal for sure. Many times it doesn't matter though. If you put a torch on a hardened bolt that holds something critical, it should be replaced. Exhaust and rotten-rear end body bullshit? Open season. So King of the Hammers happened in the last few weeks and the mechanical carnage photos are filling my facebook feed. A Currie ProRock 60 that ended one team's race. Fortunately the truss (along with the bolted on truss section across the cast diff housing, not pictured here) held the axle together long enough to limp it back to the pits so their tow rig could drag it home.  Same thing happened to another team's Spidertrax Ford 9" fully fabricated housing, also trussed. Also pictured, but not at fault: Tru Hi 9 high-pinion ford 9" third member.  KoH is a little rough on equipment. e: why the gently caress does pasting an imgur large thumbnail image direct url not auto-thumbnail it properly now, ffs

Welp, that sucks. Not sure it can be effectively fixed, either, since it would have to autodetect the corner case where the last char of a non thumbnail image is a lowercase L, but only because it is an older image with a shorter name. Also explains why very occasionally there would be an image where the autothumbnail would explode and I'd have to fix it manually... because it ended with a lowercase L even though it wasn't a large thumbnail.

Use ShareX to upload pictures to imgur, it can generate SA-friendly thumbnail links for you as well.

Darchangel posted:"It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers, not to mention asbestos, sand, and water-with which it reacts explosively" That's a sourced from Ignition!, which is basically a writeup of all rocket propellant research up to about 1970, featuring the period from ww2 to the Apollo era. Several spectacular mechanical failures are described within, and basically every person named in the book is a goddamn lunatic of the best variety. The pdf is out there, technically :files: but the book's out of print so whatever.
