Farmit, Funny you mention more work space, currently designing and planning an addition for this spring on the shop! Stopped working at 7 tonight after getting engine started. Had some issues initially with a dead short when I would turn the S1 on. Started to melt the cable going to the pre...

I officially have a problem Just a continuation of the saga. I picked up an 813 yesterday to rob the engine out of. Was a unit that someone bought without doing research here and than posted here trying to resolve his issues. That didn't go so well shall we say! But, I have it, the engine...

Guy, per your request......https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdMVLxt3QzM

803 engine removal So, another first! After much work, unscrewing of small screws, head scratching and throwing my hands up, I decided to just remove the gen head and the engine together. Once I saw that the head was only really connected by 12 wires and a quick disconnect connector, I decided...

Thank you Gentlemen, I did find it with your help. I have printed the applicable pages out, have read it 232 times:roll:, and will take it out tomorrow with me to the set. I would like to just leave the gen head on the skid and pull the engine out. Not sure if that is possible. The TM mentions...

Guy, can you please help me find that TM or whatever it is? I have spent the last hour looking at everything I could find and I don't speak military abbreviations. I have saved many docs relating to these units and I can't find anything close to either referencing what you posted or with that...

Guy, I will look for that part and move forward. Thanks for taking the time to copy and paste. Hopefully pulling it apart this weekend.

Happy than Sad! Short lived elation-I figured out a way to free up the motor. I was very excited and happy. Basically scoured old tractor forums. A suggestion of fabricating a flat plate and bolt it to the block with head bolts. I have a hydraulic mini ram, maybe an inch of travel. Rigged this...

Going into it's heart Digging in deeper-I poured evaporust on top of pistons this morning. #1 drained by the time I got home tonight. 2,3,4 are holding steady. Still no movement at all. Decided to pull the side cover and see what I could see. Lots of crud in the sump. Some rusting visible on...

I did read that whole thing today. Some good stuff. Will be getting some evaporust tomorrow

Not yet, I am able to concentrate the rust dissolver around piston perimeter now. Am going to allow it to soak and keep working it. I have no movement at all at the moment. Trying to not completely take engine apart.Going to just wait and try to keep it moving. Glad I took the head off though...

Light, I was wondering if that would indicate a low load scenario.

I couldn't wait So, after soaking for 24 hours, no movement and my reviewing other threads of locked engines, I decided to pull the head. The following pics speak volumes. I had been using Kroil and ATF for the soak. I have worked on many gasoline motors and have never seen crud like this on...

Appreciating all the suggestions so far guys. Going to let the wonders of chemistry do their thing for a few days and see how it goes. I am in no rush, other than my persistent impatience, so will see how it goes. And yes, I will start taking pics and post accordingly!

So, Picked up the 803 this morning. Just as many said the rest of the crank bolt came out by hand. Good sigh! Took the injectors out, sprayed with penetrating oil. Welded a nut on to the remnants of the crank bolt. Leaned on it pretty hard, no movement. Hmmmm, how am I going to try and get this...

Put my name on that bolt Dr.!!!!! Will be in touch by sunday.

I hope I hear back from him.

He is the person I contacted I mentioned. He has a few things I would like to buy, but he never got back to me. Who knows.....

Thanks for the help Gentleman! I will post back as to what I find. Going to get this 803 on Saturday, so will be tearing into it on Sunday!

Anyone know where I can get an 803 crankshaft bolt. The one that goes in the water pump end of engine. I have reached out to someone that had parts listed in classifieds but no answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
