Sorry only just seen this! Not one of ours.wood chip for a local biomass boiler for poultry at horsington should give you a clue without naming names.!
I've had nothing but bad experiences with reconditioned turbos, quite strange because there really isn't much to them. New no-brand Chinese ones are more reliable.

Did have a bit of an idea at first, and was confirmed yesterday. Apparently the bent Fastrac can be seen from the road in the yard.Sorry only just seen this! Not one of ours.wood chip for a local biomass boiler for poultry at horsington should give you a clue without naming names.!

Genuine rebuild kits are available for a few Borg Warner turbos but genuine replacement wheels and shafts are almost non existent from my experience. When genuine parts aren't available there's often an aftermarket option.
Interesting. I'm guessing the turbine shaft is replaced every time it's rebuilt, balance issue maybe?

Another Western? Turning them upside-down seems to be getting popular lately - the one in 76Masseyman's earlier post appeared to be Richard Western too.

Ah, here's the story behind the pic, they almost look like 5ft bales.

Any harm done to the engine itself? Could have run away no? Any pictures of the unit itself, I'm sure TFF loves machine porn as much as I do.

Early hours of Thursday morning I came across an old boy in a JD pulling a rickety bale trailer with about 7 round bales perched on it, one of which was cotton reel style right on the arsh of the outfit, no straps or anything on any of them.

Better with them tin can style, keeps the load narrower. 5’ aren’t as much fun on the trailer either, they sit too high.

It was the exhaust side of the turbo, so the oil went straight into the exhaust pipe together with the broken bit, so no chance of a runaway. If it had been on the inlet side, the rate of loss of oil would have caused a hydraulic lock up rather than a runaway. It was dumping a couple of gallons in 10-20 seconds.
