Maint tech 3 here. I'm super jealous. I would have had 10 calls in the span of that project. Seems no one knows what a start button is anymore or that when your personal belongings are hanging in the way of the light curtain it won't start.😂

The look on your 'no. 2's' face was a classic. Tell him we don't bite.

@@dansproshop Hi there, Lamar, don't be shy! :)

If 480V 200A scares you, we just upgraded our main power feed at the processing plant at the farm I work on, from 600V 600A fused to 600V 1000A breaker, Including going from pole pigs to a pad mount transformer. We were starting to overload and blow one of the 600A fuses when we had all of the refrigeration and the processing line running, and then adding the harvest storing equipment. also the fuse had to be changed live as the disconnected did not work properly anymore, thankfully it has now been replaced.

I'm a dyslexic maintenance man for blowmolding in Ohio. But righty losey will eventually work permanently. Lol

I like how you moved the meter up and tested the leads coming into the disconnect. I do this to confirm my meter is working correctly

I like that you've given us an insight into the more workhorse part of your work. It does make me question my path because this sort of task is what I get into.

Industrial maintenance is an awesome field. It really gets you into a lot of different areas!

Like Rainman Ray would say "Everything is a hammer"

So I've said before how I enjoy your videos since this is the field I'm currently going into. So really enjoy seeing the real world application of my lessons in mechatronics, and I do like how you explain things and how you try to explain why you're doing things for safety reasons. I do have one issue, and that's when you were on the step ladder. It's been drilled into my head since I was a young lad, even before I knew I wanted to go into this field, that you don't step on the top step. Things done for expediency are alright until they're not. Stay safe and keep up the good work.

Skyjacker 19x32, best mobile sawhorse/ladder ever made, and of course the machine being moved has been storage central for some time lol

Your videos are awesome. Keep em' coming....I enjoy every one!!!

A lot of the time we only save the control boards if we have similar machines in house. All of the contractors have to many cycles to save. Electric machines we save the drives and motors.

Can you show us more millwright stuff like this :)

Hay Dan do yourself a favor and spray the chuck on your m12 sawzall with surface shield from blaster, those chucks are notorious for freezing up I know I have one. BTY I'm a big fan of the m12 tools also.
