The carnage thread

[smokey7]

Hey everyone. I dont really post alot, probably well mostly because i write like crap. But..... Im curious of everyone's carnage they have made, seen , or done by others. I prefer engine related. But would enjoy reading about any fails. Dropped a tree on something burnt down your garage, car or home. Dont really mind any of it. Just looking for something enjoyable and funny to read about.

Dont have a pic anymore. Thers one on this forum somewhere but was putting my brand new rv away last fall and had about three things on the go. Hooked it up went to do something quick. Hop in truck go to move and get to curb and get the sudden stop of the 12 volt power jack folding to a 45 degree angle. Forgot to raise the jack all the way up. What a piss off.
Was able to fix it. Cut out about an inch at the bend and welded a peace of pipe inside to reinforce it.

PP260. Buyer said choke lever got so hard to pull that he started using vise grips on it (C’MON MAN! WAKE UP!). I figure choke plate screw was working out and plate started dragging. Vise grips broke the choke rod. Screw goes into intake.

Good loard that must have been a large tree.... Ive ran over some excessive stuff never broke a brushhog blade.

My last major carnage day was February 13th of this year. Should've gone back to bed after snapping the axle on my log wagon.

But I kept at it, and snapped a much much more important axle.

Hopefully I don't have any accidents that take as long to recover from for a long long time.

They fatigue over time.

And the vibration is not good when you lose a blade.

As do most of us...

I'm no doctor, but that X-ray doesn't look good. Glad you can have some fun with it now.

Ok let's revive this thread.... someone say carnage?

Engine we're swapping out at work. Something doesn't look quite right, just can't put my finger on it.

6.2 dropped a valve at 70mph.




2.4 blew out the rear crank seal. Customer then drove it until it quit. Added oil and repeated. 3 times.
