    I was surprized to see the replacement parts were available, the fact they didnt quite fit is down to the manufacturer? or is it?

    • @truthseeking3818
      @truthseeking3818 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      They aren't just replacements parts available, they are custom made parts that are cut and machined specifically to match the tolerances of the machine. They aren't just some manufacturer's spare parts that came out of a warehouse somewhere.

    The replacement sprocket was probably fine, most likely that the old belt is worn and matched the old belt.
    New belt and sprocket and it they will probably line up fine

      Okay so why did the sprockets from the other end of the belt fit then? Clearly the cut of the new gears was wrong. Imagine being you, some guy who's never dealt with issues like this pretending like you know what's wrong because you've replaced a starter on a Honda civic a time or two.

      @@truthseeking3818 correct I’ve never worked on mining equipment. I’m going on my knowledge with other issues Iv come across that where Iv had sprockets not match up to old chains but fits fine with new chains.

    You can’t loose something you don’t have. The gold is still in the ground. He just hasn’t mined it yet. 3 days of stockpiling or removing overburden, we’ll see how it goes by the end of the season.

    • @yogidemis8513
      @yogidemis8513 ปีที่แล้ว

      No but it's costing Tony labor and as the hours pass no gold coming in he still has to most likely pay the wages of his employees which cuts down on profits at the end of the season.

    Tony owns the claims...TONY LOSES NOTHING...Tony just won't earn that $200,000 this time but it's not like it was 200K on a pallet and then the pallet went missing because that would actually be "losing" it. There is NO LOST GOLD, it's just not yet found this time.
