Overheard a dock foreman in Houston say his cutterhead locked up from running too long without greasing

He said he ignored the 4-hour grease interval for 12 hours straight and it cost him $8,000 in repairs on a Monday. Has anyone else gotten burned skipping lube schedules on a job with tight deadlines?

Wait @tyler_white42, is skipping lube really that big of a deal?

That four hour interval sounds like a really expensive lesson. Was he running that machine alone with no backup?
