@@demidof111 wazzup Demi, sorry buddy I can’t read it but I’ll try to translate..

@linemanundergroundworld4854 In Russia this job is called a cableman, they tighten and connect cables, we once pulled a cable and almost pulled out the entire well, the conductor pipes were old and broken, in the winter we had to dig up the places where the pipes were broken and repair them

@ wazzup Demi that’s great, over here if we need the pipes aka conduit replaced or repaired we call the aka ( dirt Dawgs ) for that, stay safe over there brother 👍😎

@@johnclyne6350 wazzup John, i would have if the plate wasn’t there but you know once you get it moving and have some momentum going and super long span and super heavy and dead weight, your not stopping pulling uphill, thanks and stay safe over there..😎👍

@ I just so happen to see that. I was only in the Cable Gang for a year. I loved the work. They weren’t offering an apprenticeship, so I left. I like those clean new manholes. Only water in them? I was used to breaking down paper lead cable to put a rigging chain on the cable. We knew it was oil filled cable. What I didn’t know was that it was loaded with PCB’s? Some of the manholes were made of brick with wood duct banks. Most were precast concrete with a concrete lid. I was on a few jobs where they had to lower a “stick” into the hole. The stick was a railroad tie. They would stand it up & drive wooden wedges under & over to jam it into the floor & ceiling. Then put a big steel block with a rigging chain in line with the duct bank to pull the cable out with braided steel rope. Most cable came out with your method though. Those old riggers are long dead now though. I still keep in touch with one retiree & he moved out of state. I moved out of state too. I’m a trainer of line apprentices coming into the trade. It’s my retirement gig for a couple of years. I subscribed to see your other videos. Great content!

@ John all great memories I been around where i used it many times before we started getting better equipment and better blocks for steel and rope , and pulled in lead-covered-oil-filled cable , and pulled out, do you remember the ( steel shoot ) , well I am glade your doing great and passing on the trade and some mix of old school techniques , stay safe brother..

@@linemanundergroundworld4854 The (steel shoot) was made of flexible corrugated steel. It was in two lengths. A 5’ one & a 8’. It had a 6” opening for going inside the duct & a flared side for where the cable first went through in the beginning. Absolutely I remember those. They don’t use them anymore? When I started we used “Black Bear” pulling grease. It came in an orange & black 5 gallon steel can. It was smelly dark green stuff & it was very stringy & gooey. If you got that on your clothes the stain never came out even with Lestoil. When we threw the clothes out the original stain was still on it years later. I remember in the cable coroner’s lab where they break down old splices that were taken out of service because they were just old? The Black Bear was still gooey 60 years later. Back then in the early 1900’s those old splicers sweated their joints to last forever. The craftsmanship back then was impeccable. There was no way water was going to get inside those joints. Before we had a rodding truck. We had 10’ fiberglass rods that had threaded brass ends. We had to screw them together. We had to manually Rod the ducts if the rope broke. Later they got a powered rodder truck. Do you still brush & mandrel ducts after a cable burn out? For trucks we had a cable puller truck with a “Adam’s” pto powered winch. They were supposedly the best? It was located just behind the cab. The second truck was the cable truck. It had 2 reels on it. A full reel & an empty on the back. They were called load luggers. They were primitive but worked. It had a swing arm on it for lowering & loading the empty. After the cable was pulled out on the street we would roll the old cable on the empty as the truck drove forward. Ah the memories are flooding back. Thanks for the memories. When I left they got a couple of Luger pullers like your trucks now. They could only hold one reel of cable or an empty. I left for the Line Department in 1990.

@ yes sir i remember that grease bucket, and when we remove that lead cable the grease looks as fresh as when they installed it and yes when it got on your clothes you might as well throw it away 😂 the old gang trucks with the steel behind it they would get mostly the new helpers and hype them up and told them they were going to be cable Forman 😭 and give them the ceiling bar to guide the steel cable on the reel under tension 😂 you said it, great memories brother 👍😎

@@linemanundergroundworld4854 Thank you!!! Were a utility contractor in NJ and a brother lineman. We do the same work you guys do but you guys are afforded the time to make all your vaults look incredible. Much respect to you and your crew. It's hard when they don't give you the time to make it look good anymore. Just get the power on!

@ well said brother and stay safe over there ..👍🙏😎

@@linemanundergroundworld4854 I sent this video to the instructors at our local and no one has seen manhole cable supports like you guys use. Do you think you could do a video highlighting the workmanship you guys do with cable management and show the brackets and boxes they come in so we can obtain these products? Can't find on internet anywhere. Is this stuff custom made for your utility?
