@LightUptheSky000 these tractors run multiple turbos and create high amount of boost pressure, likely 100-150 PSI and if one of the pistons let go that pressure would be released into the crankcase causing the pan to burst, having that said.. your H is a stock naturally aspirated farm tractor, you should have no trouble pulling it.
Thanks for getin back to me, but don't let me bug ya. So is the pressure caused by a little blowby? I always kind of thouht there would be some vaccuum in the pan, not positive pressure. I just restored my first, '42 H, gonna hit the tracks for the first time this year.
Unfortunatly Im not an expert at engines, so I couldnt tell you either way. Though from expierence watching them on the track, most commonly they have trouble with the turbos and/or the belts. Ofcorse that would depend on if you're running a disel or alcohol version.
From what I understand a normal stock tractor doesnt have that much pressure built up. But these tractors are heavily modified, and opperate at much higher pressures to produce the kinds of horsepower seen (they pull the equivalent of several tons in that sled), so the strain it produces can be too much even for custom made parts.

@TheDeinonychus That's cool, if you could've told me I probably wouldn't have been able to grasp the concept anyway, but thanks. Take care.

I never knew that much pressure came into the pan area? Do stock tractors like an old H have pressure in the pan during normal operation?
