10 ton gets home sick!

I bought back one of my tractor's I sold to a logger in Panama City a couple of months ago. They broke something in the engine and then let it get away from them towing it out of the woods and it rolled down a hill into a bolldozer. That's why the front end is bent up. So I got a donor truck from the same company the Ol' Rusty gasser came from. I put batteries in it and went to spin it over, it spun a couple of times and stopped as if it had water in it, but when I started looking into it I realized that the intake manifolds had oxidized on the inside so bad that they were full of poweder, so when I spun the engine over it sucked a pile of this oxidized powder down which resulted in bending a valve. So I will have to pull the heads to repair it. they also have another 123 down there that I hope to have here next week. and between the two I hope to have a good engine to put back in the one I got back from Panama City.

Uh oh, another 10-ton on it's way to getting a new lease on life. If any more M123 series trucks end up in your shop, Dirt, Florida will surely sink into the Atlantic. :)
