That got totaled

What happens here

During the grading process, the CMP Hydra Rake hits several buried stumps, causing significant damage to one of its end plates (fins). The operator demonstrates how this plate was bent and, due to its sacrificial design, is easily removed by hand. Further into the task, a front wheel of the CMP Hydra Rake completely detaches from the attachment, revealing a fried bearing. Despite these setbacks, the operator confirms that the grading work can continue with the remaining functional components, emphasizing the robust design of the equipment for on-site adaptability.

Goal: Manage and overcome equipment damage to keep the grading project moving forward.

Tools and materials

  • CMP Hydra Rake CMP — The damaged equipment being repaired on-site
  • Sledgehammer — Implied for potentially fixing bent parts or removal
  • Wrench/Socket Set — For removing bolts on the end plate (implied for removal)
  • Replacement End Plate CMP — To replace the bent plate
  • Replacement Wheel Bearing — To repair the wheel

all right little bit of a break didn't get very far to hit a couple stumps every time you guys seen it going that was a buried stump here's one it popped straight out of the ground but the last stump that I went blo on just jammed the fin right into the power head so we're just going to remove it we don't need it looks like that's a sacrificial lamb anyway it doesn't need to be there we'll just pop that off so these these plates are designed to capture material and help you move it to where you got to go but all you got to do is really depend on the front wheels as you're working you get to the end of it you start raising it up you feather everything out then you bring it back down as you come to the back you feather it up and so you're just reincorporating all the material in and you technically you know what you're doing you don't even need those plates but they're nice definitely nice but I'm going to pop them off off I'm going to pop that one off cuz it's obviously kapoot kapoot but you know that's what I was saying earlier about like CMP lot of thought goes into these things like right here if this plate was welded on could be done I'd be done till I got a sledy and I ledi that son of a duck out but instead I pop it out I got a deadline I'm working on I moved that to the side now I can take this plate that's bent Kitty Wampus that's how much it bent right there that's what did to it I I'll lay that on my workbench pound that flat I'll be back in business but for now until I do that I'm still in business that's how long the repair took [Music] I don't think I'm supposed to do this job today you guys I can't make this crap up here it is the front wheel fell off it fell completely off oh the bearings fried they're dead that just toasted all right ah dead dead in the water oh boy all right we still got one wheel you think we can do the job with one wheel I think we can do the job with one wheel I don't think we need two wheels I think if it had one wheel right in the center we could do it but my one wheel's on the side we'll put this in the spare material pile yep we just leave it there for now but it does a pretty dang good job I it
