Chapter 53 The large pump has been unloaded!

In the cab of another Ackerman 11, Master Lü squinted, admitting that he didn't quite understand the other driver's operation either.

It wasn't until Yu Dawei finished explaining things to the crane operator that he suddenly realized what was going on, but his eyes remained fixed on the connecting bolts on the large pump.

He was filled with deep doubt: "Will this work? I don't think I've ever seen anyone do this before."

Yu Dawei instructed the second team to continue disassembling the engine's connecting bolts, while he himself climbed to the side to disassemble the large pump's connecting bolts.

"Leave a few of all the connecting screws; don't remove them all." Yu Dawei had already given this instruction for the third time.

It's not that it's slow, it's that it's dangerous.

If you're not careful with this disassembly method and get bumped or knocked by the engine or the large pump, you're basically doomed.

The crane was operating exactly as Yu Dawei instructed, lifting it up a little and lowering it down a little.

After each operation, Yu Dawei would check the connecting screws on the large pump to see which ones were loose so that they could be removed.

Basically, with every movement, the engine and the main pump will be stuck to the main body of the vehicle, and then the lever principle is used to force the screw gap of the main pump to loosen slightly.

Just a tiny bit is enough; that's how Yu Dawei achieved his goal of removing the screws.

At this point, everyone finally understood Yu Dawei's purpose, and the second team, while dismantling the equipment, once again cast respectful glances at Yu Dawei.

Don't underestimate Master Yu just because he's young; he has a lot of ideas, and they're really useful.

On the other side, Master Lü and his team were also amazed by Yu Dawei's actions.

A few people who were waiting to see the joke fall silent now, continuing to install the parts with their heads down.

The reason was simple: the team noticed that Master Lü in the driver's seat had a very unpleasant expression, his eyes fixed on Yu Dawei, seemingly lost in thought.

After confirming that he could loosen the last three screws, Yu Dawei immediately stopped what he was doing, put the wrench aside, and jumped off the car.

At the same time, he glanced at the progress of the others, and when he felt that it was almost done, he hurriedly told everyone to stop what they were doing and asked the crane operator to lower the crane.

"Impressive, Master Yu." The team leader looked at the large pump connecting bolts, which had been almost completely disassembled, and whispered to Yu Dawei, "Master Lü tried it before, but he broke two of them and then stopped paying attention to the truck."

Yu Dawei smiled at the squad leader: "Get your tools ready, we'll be busy later."

Bai Zhongsheng wasn't particularly interested in Yu Dawei's car repair business, but he was quite pleased to notice that the way the second team and the others around him looked at Yu Dawei was noticeably different.

This proves at least one thing: the top leader has a keen eye and did not misjudge people.

"Master Yu! What's next?" The crane operator got off the crane, came to Yu Dawei, and took out a cigarette from his pocket to offer it to him. He knew that Director Bai didn't smoke, so he didn't give one to him, but only to Yu Dawei.

"I don't know how to pump, you can do it," Yu Dawei politely declined, then pointed to the engine, "I'll need to use the straps to help me lift it up in a bit. I'll remove the pump first, then we'll lift the engine." "No problem, whatever you say." The crane operator was completely at ease with Yu Dawei at this moment. The other party was obviously skilled and would definitely not let his car have an accident.

Yu Dawei rested with the others for a while, then continued climbing up the side. This time, the hanging rings were different from the previous ones. They weren't horseshoe-shaped, but rather had threads on the bottom of the circle, like a large screw with a circle on top.

These lifting rings can be screwed into other screw holes, then passed through the straps, and lifted by a crane. Once the last three screws are completely removed, it can basically be lifted up.

Everything was going pretty much as Yu Dawei had planned.

Although the screws were removed, there was a drive shaft (main shaft) inside the large pump that connected to the engine, and it just wouldn't come out.

Yu Dawei had no choice but to call the second team to come up and pull together. The last one shouted "One, two, pull!" and everyone pulled!

"No! Do it again, one, two pulls!" Yu Dawei shouted, and the people around him followed suit and pulled hard!

On the third attempt, they finally managed to pull out the drive shaft. Yu Dawei looked down and saw that the entire main shaft was rusted, and the head section was twisted and deformed.

Fortunately, it was only slightly deformed; otherwise, even if more people pulled it out, let alone just a few of them, they wouldn't have been able to pull it out.

"Hang it up!" Yu Dawei gave the driver in the cab a thumbs-up and pointed twice toward the sky.

When a crane is working, the engine is very loud, and the driver may not be able to hear it clearly from inside the cab. Therefore, it is especially important to use hand gestures that everyone can understand.

The crane operator in the cab understood immediately and began to lift the large pump little by little, then to the left, finally suspending it completely in mid-air before slowly lowering it onto the pre-laid wooden pallet. (Author's note: Wooden pallets are wooden storage and logistics materials used for placing goods. Some are single planks, while others are made of many planks pieced together. The one described in the text is the second type, a single-sided plank.)
Yu Dawei looked at the large pump that had been completely lowered, and felt relieved. He then turned to look at the engine.

“There’s another big one.” Yu Dawei bent down, removed the straps and lifting rings from the large pump, and then repeated the previous operation on the engine, starting to direct the crane to lift it up.

Unlike hoisting a large pump, the area around the engine is very narrow and contains various parts; if you are not careful and scrape them, you may not be able to get it up.

If your eyesight isn't good enough, and you don't even see the crane scrape the vehicle, it's very likely that both the crane and the people involved in the accident will be involved.

This is why the crane operator offered Yu Dawei a cigarette after seeing his skillful technique.

Countless crane owners have ruined their cranes because they encountered an idiot who knew nothing and gave them bad instructions; some even had their booms cracked.

However, Yu Dawei was fine. There were two teams watching over him from all sides. He only needed to direct which direction to bend some plastic pipes and other parts to make room for the engine.

Finally, the engine was successfully lifted out of the excavator body and slowly raised into the air.

Looking down at the engine hanging in the air, bathed in the glow of the western sunset, it seemed like a sacred object, slowly moving upwards. To be honest, for a moment, he even had a slight urge to fix the car with Yu Dawei.

It's a strange sense of accomplishment.

The second team was enjoying this sense of accomplishment, with bright smiles on everyone's faces as they watched the engine hang in the air and then slowly land.
