Some of the stuff that can really screw up the mix is copper. Even very small amounts will make any iron based alloy turn to unstable brittle crap. Some of our old cars (crushed whole) have more than an acceptable amount in them (wires starters, etc) and when melted whole will turn out bad metal. Tractors craking are likely made with some of this contaminated alloy.
Most US car makers make there blocks out of cast iron which is as pure as most low alloy soft steels and are very hard to break.
Do you think we get get the facts from our tractors Manufacturers as to what the mix is.
