We've all seen this picture , a tractor at full throttle with the front wheels in the air dirt flying. pretty cool .

Well how about this. A 20,000 dollar motor
everything clean and in place looking good and looking like it could do about a thousand miles an hour. Sweet. This so called tractor has 5 of these motors that consumes about 55 gallons of fuel per pass.

But sometimes things don't go as planned and you end up with a pile of junk.

No less than 3 of the rods went through the side of the block. You can see that one of the pistons is a little twisted in a hole that only has a few
thousands of clearance. This poor motor is now only good for
scrap metal , but was so pretty just before it decided to take a dump. Now not all was lost the owner just took it off and run with just 4 motors. Now when you do this you give up about 3000 H.P. that will put you in a pretty bad spot. The
money you can win will not pay for even one of these motors , but these guys love this so they just carry on. Alot of fun and Happy birthday Troy.
