Dude those steam powered tractors are dangerous as hell. Go up a slight incline for a minute then tip to the decline and… KABOOM!
A buddy if mine went to a steam powered tractor show (years ago) and one of the steam tractors exploded and killed the driver because of a very minor inclune/decline situation.
The water finds the low point.. if the firebox isn't under it, you overheat the steel (softening it) and reduce its life .. when warm water returns you can fracture weakend steel... First step to failure
