Buck (51 1/2 ton) is not doing well. Dricing back from picking up a load of wood today the engine developed a bad knock and quit. No clues, it was overheated and may be siezed and I have no darn idea what precipitated it.
Long story short. It is too cold and I'm not able to do my own wrenching right now so need a top notch man for the job.
I'm in Rockville and can have her hauled or will rent a trailer if I have to. Life is NOT good for TT right now. Buck is DOA.
Please feel free to contact me. Via John M. or direct.
I might be in the market for a good replacment engine.

Pulle the valve cover and see if you have a broken rocker arm / bent push rod......
There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

Be yourself. If you are ever lost, It will be much easier to find yourself if you know who you are!

No metal in the oil. Radiator has glycol in it still despite boiling over and now I do recall it turn over just after it died once.
Can't get the starter to engage at all.
