I have seen numerous items burst from freezing water. And it surely doesn't occur upon thaw. Naturally you aren't going to see any evidence of water through the freshly created cracks until it begins to melt. LOL
This is the second time that you have made mention of freezing in a container with the lid off. It shouldn't take a Rhodes scholar to understand that there is a place for the water to go in such an instance versus what would happen to water in an enclosed container or in a complex or restricted peice of metal wherein the newly freezing water creates an obstruction of its own at some point in the freezing process.
It might be time to brush up a little on your freezing physics. Water is one of the very few items that expands upon freezing. Any high school student with a C average can verify this for you. If it did not and maintened the same density/weight ratio it would drift around in water at any static level as opposed to rising to the top and floating. The weight remains the same. Its volume has increased and thereby is slightly lighter in it's newly expanded size and water displacement versus the same original weight of liquid water.
It's a little hard to believe that a grown man much less a farmer could maintain such a view as you are espousing. Sweet mercy! Put an unopened can of pop in your freezer and check it out when fully frozen! It may or may not burst, though they often do. One thing for sure, I'd like to see you repost any of this nonsense after observing whether it has expanded or not.

Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
