Do We Need A New £1M Car Baler?

Added: 2026-05-05

[00:00:00]Whoa, I'm still falling off. Right, welcome back to our first video, guys.

[00:00:03]We went to the holy event last night in Manchester. I tell you what, what a good do. It was actually >> good. I don't know why I'm saying it like it wasn't going to be good.

[00:00:11]>> No, it was it was a good day.

[00:00:12]>> Yeah, a lot of people there, a lot of familiar faces, some big channels there.

[00:00:16]It was just nice to like meet a few new faces. It was all a bit of networking really. And uh yeah, had a good chat and a good laugh with everyone. So, yeah, privilege enjoyed that. Thank you. Shout out to Holler. Uh today we're hoping that we have the new part for the bear loss in as in Wards said it arrived but they well it wasn't WS was it?

[00:00:36]>> It wasn't words. No it was the the company that they ordered it from um had sent us >> one 10 times too big.

[00:00:43]>> A C5 valve rather than a C3 valve. So the the configurations was right but the valve was completely the the wrong size.

[00:00:52]It won't fit on our BOR. Oh, you could have sent the sensors along C3C5.

[00:00:59]>> You've got to get right, wouldn't you?

[00:01:01]You know what I mean? People need to know what happened.

[00:01:03]>> Yeah. So, they have put on the correct one on a super speedy order for today.

[00:01:09]>> So, hopefully that turns up. We can get the Baylor going. Get Chris on the cap because there is an absolute monster.

[00:01:17]>> Look at that.

[00:01:17]>> Mountain of cars. Now, we could have actually got the mountain slightly bigger, but Chris is what we call the pyramid stacker.

[00:01:24]>> No, he's not. Yes, you are. But you know that.

[00:01:26]>> Is that the shape of a pyramid? Yes.

[00:01:28]Yes.

[00:01:28]>> But why is it?

[00:01:29]>> Because you start like a pyramid.

[00:01:30]>> No. Why is it? Go on.

[00:01:31]>> Because you're Mr. Pyramid.

[00:01:33]>> There's an actual explanation for it.

[00:01:34]>> Yeah. Because when you stack, you bring it in every level like a pyramid.

[00:01:38]>> That's because the cat could only reach to a certain point because it can't move.

[00:01:41]>> Right. So that white car there, you could put them there.

[00:01:46]>> I didn't put them there. Listen, I want everyone to do me a huge favor here.

[00:01:49]>> Give James some space.

[00:01:50]>> No, no. Just put in the comments pyramid of Giza and that will get Chris.

[00:01:55]>> Yeah. No, >> cuz we've actually got our own pyramid of bags in him right here.

[00:01:58]>> Yeah.

[00:01:59]>> There's no treasure in it, though. Is there?

[00:02:01]>> No. No. I've already checked that.

[00:02:03]>> So, yeah, it's going to be busy. I feel like I've got like bags under my eyes.

[00:02:07]>> You have?

[00:02:08]>> Yeah. Only one though.

[00:02:09]>> That's cuz I had a few pints last night, >> right? Uh yeah, I'm going to be on the doo. There's loads going on. Martin's up at the mill. Full day on the Iveco today. I think he's doing the hydraulic filters, fresh thresh oil.

[00:02:24]There was something else.

[00:02:25]>> Yeah, we were I think we worked out yesterday what's going on with the ICO as well, you know, with the bed going slow. It's got about 4 L too much hydraulic oil in it.

[00:02:37]>> And I think what it's >> Why is only the bed gone slow then? Why is nothing else? He's pressurizing in the tank now because he can't let the pressure out because the hydraulic oil is too full.

[00:02:46]>> And I think what it'll have done, it'll have suck the filter in because it's pressurizing too much. And I bet the filter's gone like a quartet in the middle.

[00:02:53]>> Yeah. I know. But >> cuz when you took the cap off yesterday, it moved better.

[00:02:57]>> I don't know.

[00:02:58]>> Yeah. So it's >> I think the valve's faulty. I'll be honest with you >> because all the all the hydro >> No. No. Because if there's no weight on it, it moves really fast.

[00:03:06]>> No, it doesn't. It doesn't.

[00:03:07]>> It worked off. Yeah. Right. All right.

[00:03:10]So, yeah, we'll show you a bit of that.

[00:03:11]>> We're going to crack on.

[00:03:13]>> Enjoy.

[00:03:33]That's nice.

[00:03:35]>> Try it on.

[00:03:36]>> Better than the one you've got on now.

[00:03:41]Oh, yes. Good to Right. So, after the hiccup yesterday of uh the wrong valve being sent, we've got the right one. So, uh Words have just sent this down for us now. So, that's the old one.

[00:04:33]What a nice shiny brand new replacement.

[00:04:39]Let's get it out of the bag and have a look.

[00:04:43]So, the issue we were having with them was these configurations at the bottom.

[00:04:50]The one that they sent yesterday had about five other on the end of that. So, it was just no good. It had more ports, everything. So, we've got the right one now. So, we're going to get that fit and hopefully, fingers crossed, the bor will be right.

[00:05:08]I've just wired the new caps on for the uh tops of the solenoids. So, I'll show you the fitting of the new solenoids, and hopefully we're back up and running within the next half an hour, 40 minutes.

[00:05:26]So, we've got a problem. The bolts supplied are too short.

[00:05:33]So, I'm going to have to go and try and find some bolts. Uh, I'm going to probably nip out and get them. I'm going to get new ones again. Don't want to be using secondhand. So, go and see what we can find.

[00:05:55]So, there were the original bolts.

[00:05:58]and we needed them 100 mil. So, I've got the original bolt, the new bolts now, which are 100 mil longer. Well, not 100 mil long. We're at Oh, they're 100 mil long rather than uh 70 mil long. So, yeah. So, we can uh get it all back together now.

[00:06:30]Yeah. So, the bolts they provided are slightly too long. I'm not getting it fully clamped down there. So, I'm going to have to just take a little bit off each of them just to get this tight cuz otherwise it's just going to leak everywhere and we don't need that. So, yeah, I'll show you that in a minute.

[00:06:47]That's all bolted down. out. I'm just going to put the solenoids on and then we are ready to test the bor.

[00:07:10]Right, that's everything back together.

[00:07:14]So, all we can do now is test it. And then we've got the uh the job of replacing this, this, and this, which we are going to get ordered because they're no good on all these silly little plugs and stuff. They're knackered. So, they need changing. So, yeah, we're going to get them sorted. Um, wards will probably order all them for us. Same same as they've done with that one. We just need to get all the sematics off the top, send it to them, and they'll be able to get all the right ones for us. So, that's the next job.

[00:07:47]So, we've changed the faulty valve, which you know, we've New Salt Energy checked it and then Ward checked it said it went. So, we've changed that valve and we've still got the same problem.

[00:08:00]So, I don't know what to do from here on.

[00:08:04]I'm not an hydraulic engineer, so I really don't know what to do. Um, the only other option we've got is if Justin's going to just have a look into the program just to see whether there's any way we can switch it so it'll work. Um, if we can't do that, then we're going to have to get somebody in, professional to have a look at it because like I said, I'm not an hydraulic engineer. So, yeah, that's where we're at.

[00:08:33]>> Now, we've been looking at the Eco all day. uh the hydraulic system. The bed wer working right. We've done a full service on the hydraulic system. Swapped some parts about to eliminate some other things like faulty ram or pump.

[00:08:49]It's turned out the ram's seals flipped inside. So, we're going to take that off now. Get it up towards get it repaired and then back on again soon as we can.

[00:09:03]Heat.

[00:09:13]Heat.

[00:10:11]away now.

[00:10:13]Show you get it put back together.

[00:10:21]Right. That morning battery will go in. See what he says.

[00:10:29]Dropping the skip off now. It's an exchange.

[00:10:33]Back down to one and get the battery.

[00:10:35]Kenny and Peting today doing wheels. Bit of a skeleton staff. Bit bit cold and wet, but it's be all right.

[00:11:03]I've done that side.

[00:11:04]>> Good morning.

[00:11:06]>> End that way and drag it around.

[00:11:08]>> Yeah, unless Yeah. What? Yeah. Unless you put the chain and drag it. Yeah.

[00:11:12]Chain and drag it.

[00:11:13]>> Right. There's just no room in this yard. It's nightmare.

[00:11:20]>> You must have been busy, eh?

[00:11:23]>> They were meant to go on like Wednesday, I think.

[00:11:26]>> Oh, not. Yeah. So, because of the angle of this scape, it's going to be uh dragging it round and getting it loaded.

[00:12:06]So, we're just moving a couple of these cars. So the wagon can get in >> everywhere.

[00:12:10]>> I know.

[00:12:12]Uh yeah, cuz there's the bit of weight in the skip. He needs to be perfectly straight on. And he was struggling to drag it round. So we'll get it. We'll get it. And then he's coming straight back for the starters and the alternators. You'll be a good hour, won't you? Coming for the coming back for the start alternators. Yeah.

[00:12:30]>> You >> get a bit more in that corner if you can.

[00:12:35]>> Close to that.

[00:12:36]>> That'll do there. Yeah.

[00:12:38]>> Yeah.

[00:12:38]>> All right. Made a bit of space now.

[00:12:40]You'll get that now, won't you?

[00:12:42]>> Uh, I should do.

[00:12:43]>> Yeah.

[00:12:44]>> I can get on to properly.

[00:12:46]>> Yeah. Be tight for him. You You always get him. You always get him in the end.

[00:12:51]Good. Good driver, this guy.

[00:12:52]Unbelievable.

[00:12:55]Uh, so yeah, it's going to be about 2 hours with these starters and alternators.

[00:13:03]Yeah, Justin from New Start Energy is coming down on Monday as well to have a look at the bor.

[00:13:10]We don't know if it's mechanical or electrical or what now.

[00:13:31]So battery collection on a Saturday morning.

[00:13:36]That smell good.

[00:13:50]Wait for that. We're going to get the starters and the alternators gone this morning. It's always nice to get a few loads gone on a weekend. Me and James like to put in. Um it just freezes the yard during the week. Do you know what I mean? So, it's all good. So, I'll just get a few of these bits moved and we can tidy up around the batteries.

[00:14:17]I think there's one or two just loose batteries. What we're going to throw in that skit.

[00:14:24]Just can't be having any loose batteries around.

[00:14:29]um because it's not it's not right. The environment will not like that. But we do like to keep keep things right. Do you know what I mean?

[00:14:40]Obviously, we're still having troubles with the bed.

[00:14:45]Which um little suset as long as if you find the issue before it gets any worse, you're aren't you?

[00:14:56]But um it's nothing major. We think it's just a solenoid or something like that.

[00:15:01]The pump's up to pressure. So there's nothing wrong with the pump.

[00:15:07]But the um once you get familiar with your machines, like every single time we have an issue with that bail, we're learning more and more and more about it. And then obviously we've got other companies working on the bail. They get to learn the bail. So you come up to a point as long as if you're doing your m maintenance and keeping on top of it any issues what do arise you do tend to find out what they are and then there's things you should do and don't like when you're using the bor certain things you need to just like be careful of like obviously putting things under certain pressures like your lids and you know when to stop and yeah we're used to it now it's freaking cracky mailer.

[00:15:57]We're happy with that. It's a freaking absolute belter. Obviously, running secondhand equipment is not easy at all.

[00:16:04]But um some companies are just in that fast pace like you need new machines. You're handling that much material. The material we're handling say I don't know what material we're handling say I'd say 5 to 600. about 550 to 700 cars a month averaging 1.1 ton I would say.

[00:16:31]So you're doing quite a fair tonnage, but compared to scrap yards like say EMR for example, obviously the amount of tonnage is is far more than 700 tons. They probably do that in a 10 minutes. So our machines are not very heavily used.

[00:16:56]I mean, all you've got to look at is that cap.

[00:17:00]How many tons?

[00:17:02]How many tons an hour to move? Just look at the specification.

[00:17:09]How many ton is an hour? Um, we do 700 tons.

[00:17:16]So, it's not under stress, you know what I mean? It's a big machine and it's definitely not under stress from what we're doing to it. So, it's ideal for us if we got a new machine.

[00:17:30]We want a 35 ton machine handy long reach.

[00:17:37]To buy a brand new 35 ton machine would be not viable for this yard. What we would need to do is go for a smaller and cheaper machine. But a a smaller machine isn't what we want. So you got to look at a lot of factors and stuff like that. So all these people saying, "Oh, get new machines."

[00:17:58]I'm not going to go and buy a brand new 35 ton cat. I'll tell you that for free.

[00:18:13]So I've moved all them bits.

[00:18:17]Um, are you up for it, Pete? Yeah.

[00:18:20]>> Right.

[00:18:22]Right.

[00:18:24]So, >> you getting Macky's breakfast.

[00:18:27]>> Macky's breakfast. E. Bloody hell. Cost a bit, don't it? All right. So, I just need to move a few of these cars now from the front with the cat. So, I'm going to just be doing various jobs today and get these little jobs boxed off so I can get in the office and get on with what I do when everyone thinks I don't do anything. So James might go in in in the reception or he's not in today. So yeah, it's all good. Got a couple of cars get dropped off this morning. It's always quite busy on a Saturday. Um we drop it off. So it just keeps the flow of cars coming in. So yeah, I'll move these cars now and get on with it. So meanders are here now picking up the starters and alternators.

[00:19:09]We've got a hefty little load for them.

[00:19:12]So they've just dropped the skip here.

[00:19:14]Got it sorted. We've got the battery skip in place now. Did a little bit of damage to the ground, but it's all good.

[00:19:23]>> It was fast.

[00:19:25]>> But then >> fast.

[00:19:26]>> Yeah.

[00:19:28]>> Hour and 20 minutes.

[00:19:29]>> Yeah. So, I moved all these cars before.

[00:19:32]Got that um drums in there and I got that there. So, it's been a busy little morning to be honest.

[00:19:39]Even more cars being dropped off. So, yeah, it's all happening. It's all happening. These are the starters and the alternators here.

[00:19:47]>> Every single one of these has been taken off with the new Oh, no. There's a couple what they do in the garage, in there.

[00:19:53]>> Yeah.

[00:19:54]>> Like that's a garage one.

[00:19:56]>> Yeah.

[00:19:56]>> But uh Yeah.

[00:19:58]Tell you what, >> I bet they're worth a bit more.

[00:20:19]So, these are going now and that's all for the collections today. So be nice and free now. And we should have.

[00:20:30]We don't need to move all the cars in a way where the puma lanes can get down so I can get everything back into place.

[00:20:38]That'll do. Whilst I'm waiting for people lanes to go, may as well show you a couple of breakers we've got in. We got a P 500L in black. Complete car. Um three doors. We tend to keep a couple of resentment breakers. Um, and an old MX5.

[00:20:58]They're a few to go onto the racks. What we got last week?

[00:21:09]>> Back to work, guys.

[00:21:11]>> Right, guys.

[00:21:12]>> Monday morning.

[00:21:13]>> Monday morning. It is Monday morning.

[00:21:15]Well done. Had a cracking week that whole event. Unbelievable.

[00:21:21]Yeah, it's been I'm not going to say it, but you know what it's been.

[00:21:24]>> Now, in the last video, I've seen a few of you commenting, "Are we doing the rally in the valley with Professional Struggle Lot?" Funnily enough, he rang me couple of days ago and uh asking us to join in. There's a few channels there. Uh I don't D&J Projects are there. There's Tattoo Tech.

[00:21:44]>> There's a few there.

[00:21:44]>> There's a few going. I I'll get a list on the screen now. I'm not >> Viking. No, no, he's not going. No, no.

[00:21:52]But yeah, Tom Tom Viking Tommy as well.

[00:21:54]Shout out to Viking Tommy was at that holy do. But anyway, I'm blacking on what I'm planning on doing is >> we don't really have that much time to build a rally car.

[00:22:04]>> So, I'm just going to whack some stickers on one >> and do a little bit. But >> yeah, we've got the Civic if you've uh seen it in the other video. Now, this is what I've looked. They used to use these Civics as rally cars. So, if you look at that, that's what I'm thinking, Rob.

[00:22:20]Something like that.

[00:22:22]>> Get some stickers on it. Get some big spot lamps on the front. We've got a few harnesses, you know, just make it look a bit more rally. And then, uh, yeah, we'll go to the rally in the valley. So, get it in the comments if you want to see that collab with all these channels.

[00:22:36]It's going to be a good chaotic weekend.

[00:22:38]So, yeah, >> this morning we've got um Justin from New Star Energy coming down. He's having a look at the bor. Um hopefully we can solve the issue. We have changed the solenoid, but it's not fixed the problem. So the solenoid was actually all right. But we'll have to just see, won't we? See what's happened.

[00:22:59]>> Um >> it's an awkward one cuz it's I mean we don't know. This is why I'm getting Justin down. But yeah, >> we don't think it's electrical.

[00:23:07]We don't think it's like mechanical on the engine. We feel like it's somewhat to do with the hydraulic system not letting enough flow through which is pressurizing and actually holding back >> holding back the engine. Yeah. Cuz the engine's trying to turn this big hydraulic pump all the time.

[00:23:28]>> And when it pressurizes >> and if that that pressure of whatever it is 180 bar can't get through the system, >> it's going to restrict the engine. It's like putting >> a limiter on.

[00:23:40]>> Yeah. like putting a big drive on the on the engine.

[00:23:43]>> Like it's like trying to set off in fifth gear, >> you know? So, it's >> that's my No, no, it is because we've tested the pressure. It's got the right pressure. Um, but the issue is Chris said to me the other day, it was working fine >> and then it stop >> and then it suddenly stopped again. So, some jamming, some it's sticking. It won't be the hydraulic pump itself because hydraulic pumps usually wear down and get weak. That's usually what happens with them. But we've heard there could be a little valve in the pump.

[00:24:15]We're not 100% sure. We could be talking rubbish. But that's a theory. So, we're going to have a look at it this morning.

[00:24:21]We'll find out. Let's go.

[00:24:23]>> And before we go, we've got some new tires getting fitted on the forklift.

[00:24:28]And yeah, we'll see.

[00:24:29]>> Some solids.

[00:24:30]>> Solids.

[00:24:30]>> Solid wheels. We've had enough of the foam fill. So, >> let's go. The main menu are we've tried and we haven't succeeded. So, we've had to get uh Justin and John Mark down from New Start. Again, I do like seeing you, but I also don't like seeing you cuz every time I see you, it's a problem, isn't it?

[00:24:46]>> You're not the only customer that says that, >> you know? I wonder why. I don't know. I mean, >> it is what it is.

[00:24:53]>> Yeah, we as Chris told you what we've done as well.

[00:24:55]>> Yeah. So, there's a new valve gone in, but that did fix one problem, but still not the ultimate problem. So, we don't know if it's the pump or if it's something else. So, >> let us we'll check all the electrics, check everything's switching properly, everything's working as it should, >> and try and come up with some answers.

[00:25:12]>> We feel like it's I mean, we're we're not 100%, but we feel like the hydraulics >> aren't flowing 100%. So, it's restricting the engine cuz we we did it once and it were doing the same thing.

[00:25:24]It had water in the diesel. So, we did all the filters and stuff.

[00:25:28]>> Yeah.

[00:25:29]and then uh started working. All right.

[00:25:32]So, we've done all the fuel side.

[00:25:34]>> Yeah.

[00:25:35]>> Electrics I don't know 100% but >> we'll go through that. We'll start with that cuz that's the easiest bit for us.

[00:25:40]>> Yeah.

[00:25:41]>> Make sure everything's switching on and off as it should.

[00:25:43]>> Yeah.

[00:25:44]>> And then, you know, if we are switching everything and it's all doing >> as we expect, >> we then have to look at the hydraulic power.

[00:25:52]>> Yeah. Yeah. That's you know cuz if if the doors aren't moving fast or >> it's only they open fast opening though don't they on the return it's all normal speed engine's revving up >> right >> when you're trying to close them under pressure it's like not revving >> right >> so it's like is the oil flowing I feel like the oil not reving that might be something to do with the solenoid on the throttle valve >> yeah that's what I thought but you can rev it manually and it but if you're doing it manually the the solenoids then not activate. You know there's >> on the other side where the kill switch is there's that little box that's got three wires in three wires out >> that actuate the solenoid. Is that solenoid physically act being switched?

[00:26:38]>> I think so. Yeah. Well, we'll check things like that now.

[00:26:41]>> Um it must be if it's revving in one condition but then not the other. This is what I mean. But it's like I don't 100% know how it works, but I feel like on the return the the oil's just running back into the tank or something. I don't know. But on the push it's it's limited.

[00:26:59]So it's like the engine can't get that pressure away fast enough.

[00:27:03]>> So it's like the pump's restricting the engine. I don't know.

[00:27:10]>> You have a look.

[00:27:11]>> We'll go through it and see.

[00:27:12]>> Right. So it's going to be longwinded this. You know, it's going to be trial and error, but we'll keep you updated.

[00:27:18]I'm pretty confident when Justin comes down, you know, they mean business, and when they both are, the job's getting done. So, yeah. Right. See you soon.

[00:27:27]>> Is it good or bad?

[00:27:28]>> Yeah.

[00:27:29]>> It's it's it's a it's a loaded question.

[00:27:33]>> The hydraulic pump.

[00:27:35]>> I'm going that way.

[00:27:36]>> What?

[00:27:37]>> Electrically, the pump as as a unit, >> right? If you look at the separate individual valves that operate everything, >> they all work. Every single one is getting supply. So if we look at the PLC down to the valve block, the PLC is switching output. Physical output is getting to the terminal. The valve coils are all fine. The valve spools are all moving.

[00:27:59]>> So the problem looking at the machine is it is a global problem. Left door, right door, ram all move slow.

[00:28:06]>> Yeah.

[00:28:07]>> Right. Um, yes, it's opening fast, but it's not closing fast.

[00:28:12]>> And as we say, there's a directional piston inside the pump >> that's allowing that flow.

[00:28:16]>> Yeah. Yeah.

[00:28:17]>> Electrically everything is working.

[00:28:20]>> We thought that, didn't we?

[00:28:21]>> Hydraulically, I can't say that pump is okay or not.

[00:28:25]>> Hydraulics aren't our our bag. I mean, we'll we know >> some of the stuff, >> but when it comes down to rebuilding a pump, >> so Yeah.

[00:28:37]>> Yeah. Just just by looking at the at the symptoms of the problem that the fault is global. It's not just isolated to one door or the ram.

[00:28:45]>> Yeah.

[00:28:46]>> It's on everything that you try and give a bit of pressure to a bit of force.

[00:28:50]>> If like Chris suspects, if that piston is jammed halfway >> and you're getting a trickle of oil on one side, >> you're going to have the pressure, but you're not going to have the flow to move anything. Yeah.

[00:29:01]>> So, it'll still move because it's building that pressure, but the flow is obviously what's limiting in the speed of the >> restricting the engine, isn't it?

[00:29:08]>> Yeah.

[00:29:11]>> The engine's not the engine, one way the engine's using torque.

[00:29:15]>> And why the engine's going to take torque is because there's a load on the engine.

[00:29:19]>> So, when you flowing that much fluid, the fluid is the load.

[00:29:24]>> If you're not pulling that much fluid, there's no load on it, but it will still produce the pressure. Yeah, it's a big host pipe, a small hose pipe.

[00:29:30]>> Yeah.

[00:29:32]>> And that's what's happening, I think.

[00:29:34]>> I mean, electrically, we just eliminated everything electrical. It's all working as it should.

[00:29:41]>> So, we got to take the pump off.

[00:29:47]>> If if it turns out that it's not the pump, >> well, then >> then I don't know what it would be.

[00:29:54]>> There can't be anything else.

[00:29:55]>> No.

[00:29:58]I mean, I don't know how they work. You know what I mean?

[00:30:01]>> It depends on the design of the pump because you could just have like a big disc like a flywheel disc.

[00:30:07]>> Yeah.

[00:30:07]>> With loads of holes around it >> and in each hole is a piston and spring.

[00:30:13]>> So, as and the disc rotates off center.

[00:30:15]>> It's like an air comp.

[00:30:17]>> Yeah. And as it rotates that obviously socks in and pumps out pops, you know, but then there's a direction bulb on it which will take it between flow and return.

[00:30:28]>> The only problem we've got is the bloody yards full of scratch. The only if it was if it was empty now, I wouldn't be so bad.

[00:30:35]>> I don't know if you could just get an exchange.

[00:30:39]>> Yeah, hydraulic pumps are so unique in every application. The flow, the force.

[00:30:44]>> I think it'll just want leak on it. So, I don't know the turnar around time it would take them.

[00:30:51]>> Uh, we might have to just >> if we strip it now, >> what benefit is going to give you? It's going to be a hindrance to a hydraulic company because then they're just going to get it back in pieces.

[00:31:06]>> What we'll visually see might show us something, but >> it'll just add complexity to someone else.

[00:31:20]need to come off and go up towards it.

[00:31:23]>> Will they be on it?

[00:31:25]>> Yeah, I've asked them. Yeah, >> I asked them when we were uh I can't remember what it Oh, when you know when it started making the noise and we were talking about it then we were saying where we were looking for a pump at the same time >> and uh they just said bring it up here and we'll recon it for you.

[00:31:39]>> Yeah. What's these say? They're all part of the directional valves and pressure sensors and stuff in the pump.

[00:31:46]>> That will be a pressure switch.

[00:31:50]>> So, it's all to do with flow rate that you you can adjust them, you know, for flow rate and stuff. But, >> well, we're going to have to take >> We don't want to be messing with them.

[00:31:57]>> It is what it is, isn't it?

[00:31:58]>> You put too much pressure through it, you blow engines a bit.

[00:32:04]>> See that?

[00:32:04]>> At least we know it's not electrical, don't we?

[00:32:07]>> That will be a flow valve on the bottom.

[00:32:09]>> Yeah. You unscrew that or screw it in.

[00:32:11]It'll just open the orifice to let more oil through.

[00:32:14]>> Yeah.

[00:32:15]>> But it runs top to bottom, doesn't it?

[00:32:17]>> Yeah.

[00:32:17]>> Yeah.

[00:32:40]Right, we done them. They're on. So, just going to fit I fit them two already. Just when the guy had done them, he just kept giving them me. So, I just fit them and I'm going to do the other side now really quick. That less than an hour. Less than an hour. All four tires done, which is really good.

[00:32:58]So, now we just get it fit and get it back to work.

[00:33:14]Right. Tires are on.

[00:33:20]Go sides. Done. Right. We're having a bit of a nightmare.

[00:33:29]>> Got John's new rig.

[00:33:31]He's got his new monitor now in my new big James.

[00:33:34]>> Now listen, I've got to say, yeah, Chris Dandy, he's been in for a week. Oh, someone were dogging him down.

[00:33:41]>> They said I would >> How would you dog a general manager?

[00:33:45]>> No, they said I wouldn't have someone like that anywhere near my business or something. and they just don't understand like >> I mean to right to come right this is how I see it to come out with a comment like that of what you see on the videos bearing in mind on the videos would show 0.01% of what goes on you actually don't know what he's doing.

[00:34:12]>> Yeah. They've got no idea.

[00:34:13]>> You don't know what he's doing. So, how can you possibly say you wouldn't have him near the business when you don't know what he's doing? I need an explanation because >> yeah, call the what do you think he's doing?

[00:34:24]>> What do you think he's doing? What? All he does is walks over to the camera, has a bit of an explanation, and that's all he does.

[00:34:30]>> Yeah. Then he goes on, >> what about the other 8 hours of the day?

[00:34:33]That's 30 seconds.

[00:34:35]>> Also, I want to call someone out. Yeah.

[00:34:38]Someone commented, "We need to give the lads all the pay rise and give them shares of the company."

[00:34:44]Now, how do you know what wage they're on for starters? And if you really think me and John are going to graft for 15 years to give the shares away, I mean, it doesn't really make sense.

[00:34:59]But >> no, no, no, no. You don't give them away. I mean, >> no, no. They said we should give them away. And also, this is this is the issue, right? You don't just give shares away and make them a shareholder. What you could do is a percentage of the profit. You wouldn't give away your shares cuz that's say I give away 2% shares. The value of the company say this is not the value of the company bearing in mind. But say the value was 10 million and you give them 2%. How much are you giving um that employee? That's >> and then future say the company doubles in value over the period of 5 years. it.

[00:35:38]No, it listen it don't work like that.

[00:35:39]>> You might to give them a percentare of the profits.

[00:35:43]>> Yeah.

[00:35:44]>> Well, giving away shares that's bit different. Right. Also, what I do want to say when we was at that holy event, obviously there was a lot of influencers then, content creators, and someone come up to me and said, "Are you a are you an influencer?" And I'm like, "No, no, no, no." And I thought about it.

[00:36:09]We We're businessmen vlogging our yard where there's a certain people that are influencers that are actually content creators full time.

[00:36:19]>> Yeah. Yeah.

[00:36:20]>> We're not, you know, we're I don't class myself as an influencer. But when you actually think about it, maybe we are >> because we're influencing people.

[00:36:31]And if we can influence anyone to to do anything or like take a leap of faith and do stuff or inspire people, then we are technically influencing. Now, I know people >> that have opened yards because they've seen what we're doing, you know? So, we've inspired them to do that. So, it is good. We're inspiring people. And if we can inspire anyone and especially like the younger generation, you know, if we can inspire any young lads to go and do something at the end of the day, you you've got to just do it cuz life is short. You know, you get 80 years if you look it.

[00:37:11]>> 20 of them you're growing up >> and 20 of them >> you're basically retired.

[00:37:16]>> So you've only really got 40 years to do anything in this world. So why wouldn't you just go for it? What what is the worst that can happen? The absolute worst is you just go on the doll and play Runescape all day. It wouldn't be that bad. It'd be good, wouldn't it, though?

[00:37:35]>> So, listen, my advice just go for it.

[00:37:37]And if you don't, >> don't go for it and you don't chase your dreams.

[00:37:43]>> What's the saying?

[00:37:44]>> Oh, you're coming out with a lot of recently.

[00:37:46]>> You don't chase your dreams.

[00:37:50]You've got to wake up and chase your dreams or something you'll sleep and dream out of. But yeah, so we are technically influencers.

[00:38:00]>> So yeah, I'm stressed at the moment.

[00:38:01]>> John's stressed because Justin has confirmed like we just said, the electrics are good. I mean, it's good news, but it's >> it just cancels it out.

[00:38:12]>> It's crossing another thing off. The engine mechanically is good. The electrics mechanically are good. Now we're on the hydraulics. kind of what we thought. Justin has confirmed confirmed it.

[00:38:22]>> Yeah, it is hydraulics. Yeah.

[00:38:25]>> So, we're swaying towards the pump.

[00:38:28]Maybe there's a valve in there. I'm not 100% sure how them pumps work, but Kevin up at Jin and Wards does know how they work. He's an expert.

[00:38:38]>> He is. When he's talking, he knows what he's talking about.

[00:38:41]>> Yeah. Kevin's going to come down because what he did say, I don't want to take the pump off, strip it all down, and they've been out wrong. He can probably diagnose it.

[00:38:50]>> Well, he was saying I may as well explain it now whilst I'm here. He was saying over the phone he's >> Are you all right?

[00:38:59]>> That's my bicep.

[00:39:01]>> Right.

[00:39:03]He said there's a civ and a feed to the pump.

[00:39:08]So the feed he said it needs to have the good supply of oil going to the pump. He said something about a sie.

[00:39:15]>> Yeah. It' be like a filter on there.

[00:39:17]Yeah. He said the civic >> the pump's got a good flow, >> right?

[00:39:21]>> It's got a 5 in pipe from the tank to the pumps. The pump.

[00:39:24]>> Yeah, but he said there's some What could be >> If it didn't have a good be whining its head off.

[00:39:29]>> Well, yeah, true.

[00:39:31]Um, and then he said there's the a so after the pump, the high pressure from the pump, there's a high pressure filter after the pump.

[00:39:41]>> I don't think there is an answer. I don't think there is.

[00:39:45]Well, it could be the feed pad that goes back into the tank.

[00:39:51]>> Yeah, >> there could be another filter. You said >> it's in there's two filters in the tank.

[00:39:55]>> That's the one will be the high pressure >> one high pressure one. Yeah.

[00:39:59]>> So, that cancels that.

[00:40:00]>> It's not. It's not.

[00:40:01]>> It'll be that. I'm telling you, it'll be the pump.

[00:40:04]>> It'll be the one. So, guys, yeah, it's a very stressful week. We've had the tires done at the port there. Go for solids.

[00:40:13]There's a lot of maintenance things we're on with. Sometimes it goes through this. It goes through stages where there's loads to do and then all of a sudden everything's running right and it's happy days, isn't it? But at the moment there's been an influx but um eventually we will catch up. We've got the ram sorted on the Veco. That'll be sorted. They did say there was some seals damage.

[00:40:35]>> That's good then. Um the piston seal.

[00:40:38]>> Yeah. Now also I was thinking would you guys the YouTube doesn't really generate this much money and this is me trying to earn a bit more money I admit that 100% trying to get a bit more value out of the YouTube and might entice us a bit more but what do you think to offering live videos as in they will literally just be fully live no hidden anything. It could literally just be the camera in here running live and people coming in and talking and bits of conversations. We will obviously know the cameras are going to members only.

[00:41:19]If you think that's a good idea, let us know.

[00:41:24]And I'm sure it's something we could probably organize, isn't it?

[00:41:28]>> Yeah. On a Saturday morning.

[00:41:29]>> Well, I mean, it might be two, three days a week.

[00:41:32]>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but >> to members only.

[00:41:36]>> We all the members out, don't we? All the members out.

[00:41:38]>> But you do need to pay for that. That's the only issue here. So, we're still going to throw out the videos. Do you know what I mean? But would this is me trying to get more money out. Hands >> I like it when John said I'm not doing it for the money.

[00:41:51]>> H hands up in the air. Look, look, if we can generate a bit more income off the YouTube, it helps. It does help. Bearing in mind, we're not taking a penny out of it. It all goes back straight into the business. Um, let us know.

[00:42:05]You could even have just me in the office taking calls, whatever. Do you know what I mean? Um, but just let us know.

[00:42:14]Your head came on for the day.

[00:42:17]That bought you to death, was it?

[00:42:20]>> Crashing at the end, but there's no subscribe.

[00:42:22]>> Right. See you soon, boys.

[00:42:24]>> Kevin's here. So, we're going to leave Kevin and Justin to uh work together on fault find. I think it's more. So, we've got the electric experts and the hydraulic experts. Like a double combo, isn't it?

[00:42:38]>> And a double and a little invoice as well. That's worrying about a little bit. No, I'm not really. But they're going to work together and fault find. I think it's not so much fault find. I think it's more confirm what we're all thinking cuz Kevin said he don't really want to take the motor off and strip it and it not be that where he can probably diagnose it with whatever he's going to do.

[00:43:00]So, I'll leave him to it. Fingers crossed.

[00:43:47]Have you been in the tank and check the screen? There's like a miss blocked which has caused it all to slow down because the pump's getting stabbed.

[00:44:00]>> So you don't think the pump's getting enough oil?

[00:44:02]>> We think it's possible that >> would it not be whining?

[00:44:05]>> Hey, >> would it not whine?

[00:44:07]>> No, no, no.

[00:44:07]>> Oh, would it not? Just everything was slow.

[00:44:11]>> I mean, we did take the hydraulic filters out.

[00:44:13]>> Put those returns, right?

[00:44:15]>> They're not telling you anything.

[00:44:16]>> Yeah, they're the filter on return line on there.

[00:44:22]I mean, we can we can check it, I suppose.

[00:44:26]>> Yeah.

[00:44:26]>> Have to drain the tank. Will we have to drain the tank?

[00:44:28]>> I would I would take the top off it and drain it.

[00:44:33]Get clean that gauze cuz there's got to be a filter on there because it would not the designer of this would not put that pump on there without a filter.

[00:44:42]>> Yeah. Yeah.

[00:44:42]>> It just ruin it. First speck of dirt.

[00:44:45]>> Yeah.

[00:44:47]>> So, that could be be right. Yeah.

[00:44:49]>> Could be solid.

[00:44:53]>> Check that first.

[00:44:54]>> If it was a filter though, wouldn't it have got progressively worse?

[00:44:57]>> Yeah. Yeah.

[00:45:00]>> Slower and slower. Yeah.

[00:45:03]>> Yeah.

[00:45:04]>> Have you noticed anything like that?

[00:45:08]>> I would say the pump does it does. I have thought it's got a bit louder. like it has got a bit I mean it's always when it's full reps it has wind >> but I I have felt like it's got a bit louder >> so there's a few essentials to be done first is there >> leak here on this case frame wants fixing this one's checking >> and you need new pressure blocks >> and then and then start right >> and then start looking for faults if that hasn't done any good you know what I'm saying >> yeah Yeah. Yeah.

[00:45:47]>> But that's so that's that's the best recommendation I can make at this moment.

[00:45:52]>> Right.

[00:45:53]>> Check check the supply.

[00:45:55]>> Check the supply. Clean it.

[00:45:58]>> Which is what I did say over the phone, didn't I? This >> I said, "Are you sure it's getting oil?"

[00:46:02]>> If it is restricting the flow >> into the pump, >> yeah, >> the pump will still be able to make the same pressure.

[00:46:10]>> It will. Yeah. But it won't have the same volume of fluid to move the apparatus.

[00:46:14]>> That's exactly what it could be.

[00:46:17]>> And that would slow it down.

[00:46:18]>> Yeah. Yeah. Everything.

[00:46:21]>> It did just stop all not all Well, all of a sudden. Yeah. It working nice and fast >> and then it just >> Yeah.

[00:46:28]>> slowed down.

[00:46:30]>> But we can't even check pressures properly because we've got no clock.

[00:46:34]>> We don't know what it's tripping out at.

[00:46:36]>> You say it's what did you say?

[00:46:38]>> 180. 18 it will resumeuming that.

[00:46:41]>> Yeah. Yeah.

[00:46:42]>> That's the thing. We've never when we put that new controller in and rewired it. We've not made any physical adjustment on any valve, >> any pressure switch >> cuz we don't know what the maximum pressure should be. No.

[00:46:56]>> And we don't obviously want to exceed and bend something.

[00:46:58]>> That's it. That's it.

[00:47:01]>> Yeah. We've basically operated it, measured where that contact closed, and we just bring a voltree contact back to the PLC.

[00:47:10]>> So, you've done you've done what you can do there. This this floor needs checking now.

[00:47:18]And pressure clocks and a repair a leak here for start and then we'll see where we go from there.

[00:47:26]Have >> that been any help to you?

[00:47:27]>> Yeah. Right. So, we'll drain the tank then.

[00:47:32]>> Yeah.

[00:47:33]>> Right. Well, I'll get him on it this afternoon then.

[00:47:37]>> Drain it.

[00:47:38]>> Yeah.

[00:47:38]>> See what it's like.

[00:47:39]>> Yeah. Yeah.

[00:47:41]>> And if there if you find out then good supply, the pressure clocks are showing good pressure, >> whip the pump off and I'll have a look.

[00:47:48]>> Right.

[00:47:49]>> Yeah.

[00:47:49]>> Okay.

[00:47:50]>> Right.

[00:47:50]>> Start start at the beginning.

[00:47:52]>> Yeah.

[00:47:53]>> Right. There we go. So, Kevin has spoken. That's what we're going to do.

[00:47:56]get it sorted >> and hopefully we know a bit more this afternoon. So yeah, we'll keep you updated. Right, we're going to be wrapping it up for today because this video is getting a little bit too long for a Wednesday. So you've been spoiled rotten here. Uh Justin and John Mark have been working with Kevin. I think between them all, we're going to start off with this uh filter in the tank. As Justin and Kevin said, let's start there before we start messing with the pump. make sure it's getting the right flow. Uh, it does make sense. So, we're going to start at the cheapest fix first and hopefully we we actually want to see it blocked, don't we? That is what we want.

[00:48:36]>> If you find it blocked, we found the culprit. Put it back together.

[00:48:40]>> Yeah.

[00:48:41]>> And run it.

[00:48:42]>> But you're not going to be finding out in this episode. It's going to be Sunday. So, make sure you stay tuned for that one. We're going to be uh ending it there. So, we hope you all enjoyed.

[00:48:51]Don't forget to like, share, comment, >> and subscribe.

[00:48:55]>> There we go. You got it, man. Till next time.

[00:49:08]And you feel like you just had enough.
