[QUOTE="RustyTackleBox, post: 226705, member: 282"] my guess is there was a little water trapped inside that ball valve on the outside of the house and it froze over winter, expanded and split the valve at the seam, may have taken a couple of years to actually expand and contract enough times to weaken the steel. it is actually an easy fix and fairly cheap, buy another valve that can screw into that valve, thread tape it and screw it in, close it and open the bad valve so the water can drain out of it when you drain it and then never open the new valve so it never gets the water trapped inside the ball. I would be willing to trade you to fix this for some crank baits that you don't want to make haha [/QUOTE]
