fixing a reel round 3

This week I got to fix a reel again.  On this occasion the person who pulled the gun cart out pulled it too far and ripped the hose off of the reels drum.  To fix this we removed the broken section of hose that was still attached to the drum and then attached a chain connecting the rest of the hose to the drum.  We then used the reel to suck the hose back in close to where it needed to go.  We then attached a come-along to the hose and drum to suck it the last little bit into place.  We then use a propane torch to heat up the end of the hose that was to attach to the reel so the plastic was a little less rigid and sucked it right up into place.
45 hours this week
335 hours total.
