    A buddy and I used to fool around with these old Cats. When we found one stuck, we'd always remove the injector nozzles, pour diesel or Marvel into each cylinder, and let them soak for a day or two. Worked really well.

    My son and I freed up a 46a d8 ,,, pulled the injectors and put atf and acetone in each of the cylinders,,,, left it for about 2 weeks and used a long bar on the ring ger\ar to start rocking it,, It broke free after about 3 seperate attempts,,,, now to fire the beasty back up

    Ah yes, the sound of a 17A's turbo. Listened to that for years, years ago. Sweet machine with excellent power to weight ratio for it's time. Better than the D7E that were produced concurrently with the later model D7-17As. I agree though, some lube first would be a good idea. You probably did that though. Wonder if a high gear on the 7 would have been better than a low gear...just thinkin. Yes even reverse has multi speeds.

    Get a 5 gal can of wd-40 and dump it down the stack till it's full, leave sit for a week and get on the flywheel with a nice long bar. If it doesn't move let it sit a little longer and try again. If it moves give it another day and bar it over. I did this on a d82u that had been "rain poisoned", took me about 3 weeks but I got her loose! Good luck and I hope you get it loose.

    @dieselsforlife3847 5 років тому +4

    I’m not going to tell u boys how to do something but instead tell u how I have gotten lots of old engines unstuck most of the time. Pull injectors out use whatever u want for liquid u want for penetrate and heat up the water in the block to 180 or 200. Then let it cool off. The liquid u put it will get sucked in to the bottom of the pistons and will let loose most of the rust. And whatever water maybe in there will get evaporated out from the heat. Just a suggestion tho.

Then I got a shower of rusty water which turned into a run away engine. I've never gotten off a tractor so fast as that time in order to shut off the fuel valve.

    Question: was the stuck cylinder machine put in a higher gear to push from or a lower gear and thus too much torque required. Twas pushing a dual wheel truck one time (6 of us pushing forward) and the driver had the trans in low. I yelled "2nd gear" and away we went.

    Next time buy a head gasket. Remove the head, see why it's set up!! You can do more damage by doing stupid shit like this. If rings and piston set up, pour some sneakin oil in the cylinders. Let set a couple days. Take a 5lb hammer and a block of hard wood. Now tap on the top on the pistons. It will free up, just cool your jets. Once it is free, you can check the cylinders for wear, scratches, broken rings, ect. Lazy people!!!
