  • I was filming an Indiana Pulling League show in Tipton, Indiana on August 22, 2020 when this massive tractor engine explosion occurred just down the track in front of me. Parts and pieces were sent flying in all directions after this explosion occurred. No one was seriously injured, thank goodness! This was absolutely the biggest engine fail I have seen in my whole career so far. A major tractor pulling engine failure. I include real speed, half speed, and super slow mo replays of the incident.

      Awhile ago a turbine helicopter crashed, rolled on its side, smashed the rotors off. The sound of turbine hitting the turbine case was fantastic. This high pitched scream then getting deeper as it slowed was excellent!

      I'm a railfan, and have heard horror stories of train crew members being killed due to thrown rods and engine explosions, especially on the old F-units, where you had to literally walk beside the engine to get to the rear of the locomotive. GEs are notorious for catching on fire. And a grade crossing collision is any engineer's WORST nightmare!!

    with a really good set of headphones you can here 3 vary distinct pops during the pull before it lets go. i would say it was eating a valve or the top of a piston was coming apart/ melting.

    • @russellbates7178
      @russellbates7178 3 роки тому +1

      The pops are the block breaking above the crankshaft main bearings. The high turbo boost pressures eventually cause the block to break and lift right up off the pistons. There is a minimum 3/8 inch thick cable running around the engine block and oil pan between cylinders two and three to make a block explosion tilt the block forward away from the operator. Otherwise the block can go straight up and the forward momentum of the tractor and sled will put the operator right under the block when it comes back down.
