I was down in the Virgin Islands about 20 years ago, and the resort I was at was under construction, and had a road grader that had been unservicable for about 3 months cuz they couldn't get a rear brake drum off,, they had a 50 ton puller on the drum, and nobody'd go near it, they were afraid it was gonna fly off.. I asked if they had any dynamite, they showed up the next day with a few sticks, and fuse. I cut a stick in half, and taped it to the axle at the backing plate, lit the fuse and ran like hell, the brake drum and puller shot about 200 yrds across the Maint lot, and hit an old school bus... they had the grader in service in less than a week,, and our stay was on the house....
sometimes,, when in the field, you gotta use what tools are at hand,, the closest town could be a few hours drive,, ask any farmer, , lol
