Just read this in the S.E.E. operators manual. I've heard of diesel engines running backwards but not caused by improper rate of speed or gear selection. Do they mean lugging the engine?
"While loading bucket or pushing material, maintain proper gear range and
constant rate of speed. Failure to do so could result in engine running backward.
Indications for engine running backward are exhaust smoke coming from air
intake, oil pressure dropping to zero, lack of power, and transmission in reverse
of normal. Should this happen, immediately shut engine off, wait a few seconds,
and restart engine. Failure to shut engine off could cause damage to equipment"
