    Les and Ron are my favourites on this fabulous programme. Tough, resourceful and humorous. Australia should be proud of such men!....... I think they're great!

    These blokes are sound, along with the other guys on the show, I reckon most Aussies are ok, down to earth and grafters. I’m a 66year old builder with real bad joint pain also, I’ve slowed down a lot and just ‘plod’ through my work with all sorts of different pain killers, still glad to be going tho!!! Salford uk

  • @davejohnson9867
    @davejohnson9867 Před 2 lety +1

    When you have a belt like that, you want to take it off and put it on the very end or the outer portion of the pulley, or just take it off entirely until you can get a replacement for that one belt. I'm sure the machine will continue to run as it normally does, it wouldn't hurt to use some belt dressing

  • @rogerdavies6226

    Twisted belt -- put it on the outside or just cut it off, Ya know I have watched these people and everyone seems to pass a helping every now and again. It was once like that here is the US but in the last long while don't happen anymore. My partner died about 6 months ago. If you had something going on he was the first one there to help...miss him

    Take the one flipped belt off. The drive should run okay anyway. Looks like what, 15 or 20% less grip. Should still run. The belts are car fan belts. Hard to see none in Australia exist.
