mowerman Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 excellent thanks for that. My neighbor collects farm tractors he had this really old caterpillar bulldozer. It had a gasoline engine and a crank start. He sold it around 15 years ago. It ran real well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 forgot to mention, but probably self explanatory. He buys all kinds of shit, but he usually doesn’t sell anything. I was surprised he sold that.bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxyjosh Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 There is a lot of work to do on this and it looks like the cab is a bit mangled. Being the last surviving one of its kind, we will be going the extra mile to repair and restore it for future generations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The engine is stuck so we plan to soak the pistons with ATF/Acetone and see if we can get it unstuck. Np good soaking a 2 stroke GM in anything to free it up ATF / Acetone just runs out on the ground Runs out the ports and air box drains I know from seeing it happen on the shed in one of 2 stroke GM's Anyway for what it's worth I would check the blowers are free and the lift pump is free before diving right into anything Stuff is easy to break, I also know this experience 🤪 Paul 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 A lot of times engines sitting a long time it’s just the piston rings. Stuck to the cylinder walls. Lots of oil and lots of patience….. bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Also, I’ve only seen 2 V12s in my life. One of them was around 1964 and the other one was last August at the Brockway show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBWhite Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I've only seen V12s in the choppers that come though town every summer and fall. I've heard stories about how tough those 12V71s are. Taking out pistons at sea and running them with only 11 cylinders and such. Can't wait to see this rig run! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
