When my 5HP 240V saw kicked on, the one leg of the transformer would then pull the neutral up. No load on the neutral from my load, the transformer was bad

Lights started flickering occasionally, and them more frequently. I was trying to pinpoint the problem, found fluctuating voltages off my roommate/landlord's main breaker.
As I was standing at the panel, the lights began flickering. There was a squirrel running on the line, and the lights were flickering in rhythm with the squirrel.
The ******* bushy tailed rats had chewed through the neutral (which was a wound aluminum shield around the hots). PoCo had little jumpers that he could attach from the ground, and tighten the lugs with a long fiberglass pole. Did it all from the grounds.
It helped me better conceptualize the issues an improperly wired multi-circuit pose. (I post alot about those.)

I would have thought the linear trail of skeletons on the ground would have been a dead giveaway...
