I was a Diesel Truck mechanic back in the late 60s and early seventies. The massive flywheels on some of the larger 2 and 4 stroke diesel engines were prone to explode due to excessive RPMs. These were known to not only kill the driver but also to kill people standing near the truck due to flying shrapnel. These diesels developed their torque on the very low end of their range and it was not necessary to rev past redline. Your grandpa was damn lucky to walk away from that one unless you had a scattershield installed.

So it needs a new transmission engine looks fine. That’s all atf.

What the heck? How could a flywheel explode? I think the engine would explode and the flywheel would be intact

That flywheel is made of cast iron like most flywheels because they have great wear characteristics and will usually last the lifetime of the vehicle or equipment they are in. when he loaded the clutch at that RPM it probably brought the clutch and flywheel temp up near 800 deg F very rapidly! which compromised the cast iron. The reason for steel flywheels is because they are less likely to explode when super heated but are not designed for years and years of wear and tear, the life span would be much shorter in a daily driver. Racing and pulling needs an upgraded flywheel period. Not to mention the critical speed of cast iron is much lower than steel.

Yes, the flywheel exploded, but only because the diesel ran away on him as he was shutting down. As well, the tractor breaking in half shouldn’t surprise anyone who knows how tractors are designed.
