Reminds me of growing up in my dad's rock quarry in the 60s. I well remember standing with a foot on a small ledge on either side of the jaw's interior, swinging a 16lb sledge breaking up rocks that hung up. Usually tried to break them still in the feeder, but every once in a while one would fall wrong, and out came the sledge. Ours wasn't vibratory feed. Had a steel track, controlled manually, to feed. Our rock was limestone, not as dark as what you have. Jaw was adjustable, and we kept it screwed down to 3 inches out of the crusher. Ran it thru a screen plant, then a hammermill secondary crusher then thru screens again. Except our 3 inch base rock. Swung the conveyor 90 degrees to the left and straight from crusher to stockpile. In those days, kids could get away with working around the equipment, except when an inspector showed up. Always knew in advance when he was coming so that made it easier to disdappear til he left. Ah, the good old days!

"That’s not a huge problem, that’s an ignorable problem." The man speaks truth.

"That's an ignorable problem." -goes into the Andrew Camarata hall of fame along with the others. Gotta love the way you persevere and overcome life's ignorable problems; you are an inspiration! Thank you for the videos.

I've never seen anyone get as much use out of a free tool as Andrew has gotten out of the green hammer that came with his vise...👍👍

I've been watching andrew since he started his u tube channel I've been running heavy equipment for 28 years and that young man has worked his ass off to get what he has to gets you with hard work I'm sure your parents are very proud you.

Hey Andrew. It's nice to see you letting other guys share some footage of your projects. I know you must have more footage than would even be possible to edit and post, so being able to see what's going on through their channels is a nice bonus for the viewer.

In my 17 years in the stone crushing industry, I have never been so concerned about safety. These machines are unforgiving when it comes to bodily harm, please be careful, and for heaven's sake, no hands near moving parts. With love from a snowy and cold Sweden.

Something that is underrated, as I really enjoy the big trucks etc..., is Andrew's outstanding video story telling ability.

I loved that the last sentence is, "really what's next is that's got to be blasted". Can't wait for that one Andrew! Nice job straightening that shaft to good enough.:goodvibes:

I feel like Andrew’s next logical project at hand is going to be digging a mine on his properties

No shortage of rock on top of the mountain, another cool tool to have. Watching you progress in the past 6 years has been great Andrew, thanks for the never boring content. Blasting next, that sounds great.

Thanks Andrew for another great video, as usual. Congratulations on your new purchase👍

Now we know the story. Crusher is to slow and finicky for Andrew. Clear a spot, blast, haul rock and then crush boulders after breaking. Then truck ah-s**t and newer bell. Andrew is very, very determined to rock the roads. Finally with dirt bosses help, rock flies till dozer repair. I thought I had it bad, but may 2023 go better for you Andrew. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Phenomenal cool purchase mate... that will be useful for your work but also be an opportunity to create new work applications... Love your channel.. Big shout out to Cody and Blue from UK.

Your capacity and willingness to just roll with the hard knocks (sometimes literally) and push through frustrating setbacks continues to impress and inspire, Andrew. Great to see the two of you working through the bumps and hurdles that came up during this project, and ultimately get some good work done in the end. :) Also great fun, as always, to see your resources and capabilities continue to grow!

What I like most about this channel is at 6:02 "I think we can get that back together" Confidence and self-reliance.

Awesome purchase. Having a track crusher is a total game changer. I’ve used these before are well as fixed plant jaw crushers. You might be able to tighten up the jaw down at the toggle plate by adding shims or some crushers have a hydro set for the close side setting to make finer material - but effects throughout. Also if you “choke feed” it you’ll have less long platey pieces. - I saw some in your crusher run pile. On that type of crusher they can get jammed up underneath and rip the belt. I’ve split a belt complete in half lengthwise by something getting jammed up underneath. Also load it with a large excavator. Set on a higher pad so you can see kind of into the jaw. With the excavator you can pick through the pile and size a bucket to match the indeed size of the crusher. Also mounting a large parabolic mirror (or if you really want to be fancy a camera) so you can see down into the jaw helps. Also make sure all your loader/excavator teeth are tight - if they get down in the jaw they can fired out the top like a rocket.

Oh man, can't wait for a "that just broke for no reason" with the crusher! 25:05 was like some hard core Battle Bots! Nice work and happy to see a video on this thing!

Andrews slowly building his empire! So good to see him doing well from the equipment.
