I was told the story last night, He said it was in Ohio. Probably the same people. He said the farmer put Zinc in the safety melt hole instead of lead so when the temperture got too high it didn't melt and let the pressure release. He said there are alot of safety things put in place for shows after that accident. Can you image a full size steam tractor exploding, good lord. |

You know you can use compressed air instead of steam to try it out. |
