Engine Fires/Blocks Falling Out/Other Engine Failures of 2019 

i dont know anything about these tractor pulls,how can these tractors with 4engines not be able to pull the weight without blowing all 4engines,like i said i know nothing about engines that have all that horse power,thats gotta be hard on the wallet,how much does the winner take home?

@@jerryedwards4489 I'm not suggesting they "try" to blow their engines up. But if you're going for the win... well, you're tempting fate by now. I got feedback from a more recent video explaining how a standard engine block is literally written into the rules. So add ridiculously overpowered parts, and destroying the block is becoming a real danger.

Of all the motor sports, Demolition Derby and Tractor Pulls have always been my favorite. With DD, it's the figure 8 intersection and with Tractor Pulls its the engine failures. The excitement just never ends.

Expect. Thats the real reason you go to watch.

@@jerryedwards4489 Its because of not just how much weight it is but how they increase the weight. As that weight on the trailer moves forward the front of it is pushed down onto the ground so you don't just have the weight of the trailer but the dirt its dragging against.

Better then paki welders or SE asian mouse traps

the dirt's not gonna set alight, not really that important. Better to let the driver bask in the warm glow of his hard work going up in flames before snuffing it out, just like his hopes and dreams of winning

Yeah I like my own comment and I even replied to it, what now brown cow! lol

In the whole video I just saw one fire extinguisher and that one was so small that it probably came out of a women's purse..

I'd have nightmares if i squirted cracks through out their block. Mostly flash fuel steel doesn't burn...much.

@Dave Micolichek lmao!

@Dave Micolichek imagine cold water to hot block crackling back in your face, no thanks. Steel fragments !!

^^

I noticed that too tbh I love it

except 9:47 looks wrong for Radial Reactor

@Jensen Dustin no one cares about your scam buddy.

@@rouge5140 ye

Wondering what got burnt out in that order to make those hues lol

@@SEATACx All of it, would be my guess.

I was thinking the same exact thing at 2:05. Like wtf? Just let it blow up.

Duuuuuuuudes you have to understand these engines are incredibly expensive to fix and replace, letting it blow up could send pieces into the crowd that could cause injuries.

@@knowingfps: Nobody's advocating letting the engines blow up. The drivers are the ones pushing them beyond their limits. Kody and I were criticizing the tracks that don't provide adequate fire suppression capabilities. When there's fire, something has already gone wrong, and it needs to be handled, quickly. I'm well aware of the cost for those engines. What I can't believe is the number of people and companies that have the money to spend on them!

@@Fire21ccfd I see srry for the misunderstanding

6:50 is the best example

Grab some hotdogs

These things blow up all the time, they've seen it many times and they know what to do: stand around and watch.

Sadder still to see people wasting their money this way.

especially when they use warbird engines

Bill Cobbett ya there’s people who spend thousands on these tunes

No. It is not sad. The people who built these machines not only know blowing an engine is a possibility, but actually a likelihood. What are we gonna do...? Build an absurd machine like these and NOT run them to the max? Just sit and stare at them, imagining what they can do? BTW... I have little to no interest in this “sport”. I think it’s kind of dumb. Came here for a laugh.

I'll agree, but the contestants know the risks when pushing their engines that hard. It's the same mindset if a tech like myself gets a CPU and GPU that DEMAND water-cooling. I don't do so, but know people who do fully understanding what a failure means. You put the money in knowing full well it MIGHT fail.

@Dave Micolichek Right on. Channel didn't blow up until we did this! Ready to the 2019 Fails? We already did part one. I might re-release the entire year. I don't know. And I have 4 other fail type categories that I think you might love!

@Dave Micolichek LMAO!!

Subtracted a buck nine!!

Me too

I prefer the catastrophic engine compliance videos myself

90% of the time it’s an oil fire or gas fora and when you put water in an oil fire it will spread so that’s why fire extinguishers are used instead of water

I was just about to comment that!?! Wtf are they thinking? Alcohol on fire= "just sit back and remove your fire resistant protection off and wait for it to end by it self" And the people around working there...? "Billy! Bring the meat! We have a free barbecue!! "

Hahaha... Yeah i giggled pretty hard watching the guy remove his fire suit WHILE his rig was on fire. Why even wear one? They would look better in overalls anyway.

@Dave Micolichek Better off being burned than sweat a little? lol Okay you go right ahead. I've been there, done that. I'd sweat half my weight away and sit in a giant puddle of my stink before I would rip off the stuff like that guy when my tractor IS ON FIRE!! Let's see you put out a fuel fire since you seem to think it's so simple and easy...

@Dave Micolichek lol, nobody is sweating to death on their tractors, settle down there, Mr.excitable... As far as the fuel fire goes, you have NO clue what you're talking about.

@@farmcentralohio I have been in Le Mans type of racing with cars where you are driving one (1) hour on circuit track before you change driver... And I have been on fire at home where I had My whole head in fire whitout racing gears... For me it's ridiculous that he could'nt have His Gear on for what 10min??!? And the only time the fire protection is usefull he ripped it off....

Right on! Pullers want to know what, when, where, who. So we try to help because one day we will not have the memory we do today. Some people do not like the captions and that is okay too. You are allowed to not like things in life, but what you see here is years of listening to pullers and fans alike.

LOL!

ILambor absolutely love it 🤣 I am sat here crying with laughter 😂

Poor kid

That doesn’t make any since

God bless

Yeah, some were just burst panels, but most were complete ground up rebuilds. And one I was a part of. But this is a video a fan wanted to see, so we made it. We have a whole series we are going to make.

@OG JT that's not the point. You still should have something to extinguish the flames that could easily and quickly overcome the tractor and driver.

I know! I’ve watched a few of these types of videos and they never seem to be prepared with handy fire extinguishers.

No it just sounds like a bomb

Looks like the entire crank flew apart and came out the oil pan

And thats why I keep my visor down 😂

She'll burn out,the melted parts are cheaper than croaking a block.

Buckets of water work best for European leagues most of the time. Think about diesel, gas, alcohol, all different types, and the Full Blown Wicked thing was a freak happening of something leaking onto an extremely hot neighboring header.

@@WWPTV You're an idiot if you think a bucket of water works best on fuel/oil fires. Save the water for wood fires genius.

It is what they use in Europe. Bucket of water at ever distance marker. I didn't implement it, just reporting it. They put them put out super fast over there. Over here in the states, we use chemical like AKE Stop Fire one of the sponsors for the NTPA. Have an opinion and merely state what you have seen with your own eyes and all the sudden, "I am idiot?" Tough crowd!

in denmark we use water 95% of the its all you need. less damage to the traktor than the fire extinguisher

@@WWPTV - Yeah!! The Header Pipe Broke and it Tore the Fuel Line to the Right Motor!!! That was the FIRST Time that I saw them use FOUR Complete Bottles of StopFyre!!! And It was STILL Going!!! They Backed him up THREE Times and it just Kept Re-Lighting!!! Only when Puller from another Team came in and hit it with Dry Chem did it go out!!! They were PISSED at the guy!! All the Crud that that Dry Chem left was a MESS!!!

You took the words right out of my mouth. I can't believe the total lack of adequate fire suppression, -especially considering all of the alcohol motors being run, -that stuff is downright scary when it lights off..

So I have seen groups with them on their hips, at each distance marker, you name it. But when something like that happens, I’m paid to stay there. The officials are paid to see to matters on the track. But a lot of times, these invisible fires sneak up on them. The visible fire to the Everman tractor was tough to watch because the announcer was telling them there was fire. And I have heard numerous pullers say that chemicals does a lot of harm to an engine. I saw one guy recently have an extinguisher on his hip and it was exhausted and the fire was still going. Fuel was cut off but somehow it was still leaking on to a hot header. Took about 8 minutes total to completely put out.

@@WWPTV Yeah, I know firsthand what a dry-chem extinguisher does on an engine fire, -they are cheap, but they almost cause more aftermath damage than they are worth. I suppose if the thing was going to burn to the ground, -well, that'd be a different story. Once that dry-chem powder sees any moisture, it is corrosion city, -no good at all. CO2 extinguishers are where it's at for stuff like this. Halon used to be the shizz-nizzle until they quit making it, now they are super expensive.

@@ratman5727 in Europe they use water, there are waterbuckets every 10 meters or so.

Yeah we have seen that in other videos we've posted. Saw one dude put it out with a rag. SMH.

No kidding, I'm curious to see how it's all linked up

Deeres' tears are not covered

Majority of tractors don't have a skinny pedal. They have a throttle lever. And two brake levers.

It happened so why not bring new eyes to the sport? Pullers don’t like these videos. Fans do though.

I guess it is okay if one has too much money. Me, I could pay off my mortgage, and do a considerable amount of world travelling on what it costs to build one of these tractors. @@WWPTV

Since there's a hole in the head the size of a piston

Or “The crowd may be laughing but my wallet isn’t”

Or “who’s gonna clean up that oil?”

Understood. What is catastrophic to you and the puller could be entirely different things. For a 4 wheel drive puller losing your front or rears could be a big deal. We will call them in the future, "When the pulling expectation isn't the desired result" and see how that title does.

That's what you call having puppies.

@Dave Micolichek I had vista cruiser wagon identical to that 70's show. 455 4bbl duel exhaust. Load up after school for twist and sip joyrides. Usually leaving both muffs and tails behind on a rough back road. Made a nice plank tank at the parties too, lol

@Dave Micolichek wow

@Dave Micolichek Dave, I can remember the day they delivered it to our house. I was 12 and a couple friends were there. We callled dibs for first ride in the 3rd seat. Back in the day seat belts were dust collectors. First look under the hood was like wow, full compartment of all power!. White gas back then too, much better than todays dinosaur piss. My mom loved the wagon carting us all over.Was same color green as 70's show. Your right about kids being surprised at the challenge, leaving them in the dust was easy. What you'd call a sleeper today, no looks but fuckin cooks.Brake stands were good too fog the scene but hard on her. Beers always helped with show!! Loaded up with 8 teenagers out hauling cost me more than a couple exhaust repairs. A lot of fun back then. My next car was an Olds Cutlass 350 4 barrel, black with tan interior, I didn't hammer that one. Wish I had that 455 still, what a power plant to build on. Shove it into my wifes 87 trans am. She be happy!!

@Dave MicolichekLOL, was she smoking like a small factory??

No kidding. I guess they would just rather stand around and watch things burn up.

Seriously. All them event staff should have a FE ready to go.

Sorry, I don’t know my fire extinguishers.

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome, Awedome!!

I agree..

Hard hats requierd!
