Pulled the oil pan today and found out the crankshaft is sheared in half. Probably going to start parting it out.

Thank you. I’ll get to working on that. I believe the engine is hydro locked because the oil level seems too high and there was oil coming out of the fuel shut off cover when I opened it. I’m assuming I have diesel in the oil pan and will find out more when I drain the oil.

Is there anything special I need to pull the injectors or is it just the two bolts?

Well...I got everything hooked up and NO JOY!! The motor seems to be seized up. I even took off the radiator and put a socket on it and it doesn’t budge. Anyone got any ideas on how to try and free this up?

I will have to get some decent tires on it before driving it. I will probably go ahead and put some 395s on it assuming I can get it running. I’m waiting for some filters to come in before I start going through the fuel system and getting everything ready to try and fire it up. I also need to...

Have you had any issues with it?

In case anyone is wondering...yes that is a 5 gallon bucket I’m using for a seat😂

Here are some more pictures. The tanks are actually really clean and the fuel looks good and smells correct. One interesting note/question for anyone that might know. Why is the transfer case white? This is the 2nd old 5 ton I have come across with a white transfer case and I’m curious...

Initial picture...I’ll get more later. My wife actually likes it. I think she might be getting the disease!!!

I read you can rehab old diesel by adding ether to it. I think I’m going to drain it into a holding tank and get a better look at it. With the price of fuel lately it can’t hurt to at least get a good look at it and possibly filter it and use a gallon or two at a time.

I will getting some pictures up tomorrow. I’m going to try to take this rehab a little slower than my 923. So far I’ve only ordered the filter kit for it from Memphis. I’ll probably also order a new fuel cut off as this one is seized up. Does anyone have any idea what to do with 75 gallons...

I received the truck today and after the initial “what was I thinking “ moment and dragging it into the yard started to do the inspection. Engine is a LDS 465-1. 1991 Tooelle rebuild. Rear Fenders are a bit bent. One side and one front window needs replacing. No seats No brakes No water in...

Much to the dismay of my wife I have a new project headed my way. I picked up an M52a2 that isn’t running that will be here this week. Hopefully it doesn’t cause a divorce.. Hopefully there are a few of you ready to give some good pointers and some mental support along the way.
