WHOOPS!!!!

2 pics= 2000 words... Yes, I took these photos yesterday, and no- that's not me getting damp...

what tractor is that

It's a chinese Yanmar 1500 4x4, 2cyl Diesel. It's an agricultural tractor, bigger than a garden tractor but not fullsize. My buddy sunk it in the pond yesterday, and I hauled him out with the Ford 575 and a chain.

(edited pics- had 2 of same, forgot one)

How did you sink it? Thats funny.

Wasn't me that sunk it- Here's the story-
I was goofing off with the UTLTV at the front of the pond in a muddy area, shooting some video sequences. My buddy had just done some work to his tractor (including new tires) and was taking it for a run. He came over to see what I was doing, and to show off a bit, he backed into the pond a bit, and drove out. I said "that woulda made a great picture!" So he offered to do it again with the camera rolling... LOL...

This time, he found a rut or a little dropoff and just couldn't quite make it out. He said part of the problem was the cooling fan was propellering in the water and robbing a lot of power.

After he got it back, he started pulling corks (on my advice) and found a bit of water in the engine oil, and a ton of water in the differentials and transmission. As you can imagine, all the vents were submerged for about 10 minutes or so.
