Tony,
Your 2-4 tips with photos about the correct way to block up an 40T-ish excavator were ignored regardless of '
Dangerous, Unsafe, Harder to it that way etc'.
Your procedure jacking/blocking/cribbing and working under the excavator house between the car frame/house IMO is not safer. My subjective opinion and the reason FB group members started posting photos of 75-1000T+ excavator jobs involving swing-circle-gear-pump drive jobs.
Jacking/blocking/cribbing (using wooden blocks/steel support beams) and either towing the car out from under the house or using a crane to lift the house off of the car follows OEM instructions for larger class excavators like Hitachi EX12-1800up, Liebheer
Liebheer Tools
That FB Flack group was made up of 15,000+ independents and dealer mechanics from around the world sharing info. Groups @ 50-150 individuals that strictly share 'how to' info works okay, but smaller groups continue to grow and become deluded with non-essential info. And FB/Google/U-tube data mining/tracking forsale info I do not like/deleted account.
Hang out @ HEF...Simple to manipulate you back to HEF via Nige's??? head up.
PS: D6 spammer's thread; little peni$ ego poster's joy or something
Memory Aid...Offending Photos....Not Safe, Dangerous and Harder
