Narrative

EE was contacted via radio by the leadman that the 834B had broken the drive shaft. The EE returned to the machine and placed a bar on the steering cylinders and ratchet strap around the bar and the drive shaft. While attempting to position the drive shaft for re-assembly the strap and bar fell causing the drive shaft to fall onto the right ring finger severing the end.
