Thread Name: BS: Broke my Tractor Question...
Subject: BS: Broke my Tractor Question...
Yeah, this one is fir farmer type Catters who have have been 'round machinery...

Today Iz bush-hoggin' a 4 acre field with my 3650 Kubota tractor an' I'z in ahbot of checkin' the guages 'bout every 30 seconds... You know, tackometer and temp but today I see the red oil pressure light come on and shut it right down...

So'z I get up unner it and the oil pan has been hit in the back??? And it's cracked and leakin' oil...

Well, a trip to the local auto parts place for some J.B. Weld, an' a portable electric drill with a wire brush wheel on it and some Brake clean and the Kabuta is now down where it broke waitin' fir the J.B. Weld to set up and harder before puttin' oil back in it and seein' if the patch works but...

...hey, this is the real question: How'd this occur???

I mean, I was in a field that I've bush-hogged lots and the tractor was going forward all the time and yet the damage was at the rear of the oil pan???

I am seriously puzzeled??? Hardly any rock in the field???

Yeah, I know this is a longshot but may, jus' maybe' there's someone in Mudville who has a clue...
