I was helping a buddy work on this old junk tractor he bought, he wanted to look everything over before he cranked it to make sure it wouldnt explode or something. We checked the ENTIRE thing out, or so I thought. He said he wanted to pull the pan and check the bearings. No problem. We get to unbolting the pan (which is Cast Iron because it is part of the frames structure) and get all the bolts out. It wont come off. About 40 years of gasket sealer had just gotten hardand it did not want to let go. Granted this pan weighs about 40 pounds. We start driving screw drivers between the pan and block until it finally comes off, onto my buddies head.
I would say it would have been a close race of profanity UNIT. It gave him 20 something stitches above the right eye, nearly a broken nose, cut his head and ear up pretty bad and he couldnt see out that eye for about a month. His hole head swelled up, I thought it was very funny. He failed to find the humor in it.
