I got sent out on the loader one day to clean some of the sand out of a little wash on the discharge end of a culvert. Parked the the tractor on the concrete apron before I pulled on to the sand, got out there and stomped around to see if it was solid enough for the loader, seemed good. Got back in the saddle bucket set to start my project, bucket leaves the concrete, front tires leave the concrete, so far so good. I didn't get the rear tires 2 feet past the concrete when the entire tractor sank about 5' up to the very last step on the ladder :rofl:. They had to get Fat Allis

This is
RTA96C_cylinder.jpg
the type of Diesel engine I used to operate. Ours was a 10 cyl., 120rpm slow speed crosshead that turned a Siemens generator. Each cyl had a 200lb fuel injector. There were three 10,000 rpm BB turbochargers. It was the only engine that I ever worked on where you could crawl inside.

Well at 33,000 hp, it's the biggest engine that I ever changed rings, replaced cylinder liners, and replaced piston skirts and crowns on and we did it hundreds of times. Much bigger than that thing between fender wells and none of the tools fit in a cute tool box.
