Pumpkin Gone Mad - Wauseon

Thank you to all concerned fans, pullers & tech officials about myself and Pumpkin Gone Mad . I’m fine, the tractor is not. We are disassembling to see just how bad the motor is. This is what we do know: Injection pump stuck open not allowing to idle back down. The air flapper was shut (guillotine style) and the dump valve was pulled (both are always checked before pull by tech officials). Accroding to the computer it ran a total of 48 seconds which 10-12 seconds was the actual pull and the rest was sitting there with the tires spinning. The flash fire was oil residue on manifold after the engine finally sopped running. There are no holes in the block and all the connecting rods are still intact. We are suspecting the engine continued to run on engine oil through a turbo / turbos since we only drained out about one gallon of oil. Again thanks for you support and we will see you back on the track--------someday. |

Scott.
Glad to hear you're okay. What finally shut the motor down ? and where was it getting its source of air to run so fast. |
