  • In this video, I show how to deal with a stuck engine. Although the engine has something else wrong with it, it did come loose.... sort of. I've done this many times with resounding success. This time there are other problems which will have to be dealt with but the engine is free.

    What an ingenious method. Thanks

    Hey Ty. Make sure to video when you open that engine. I would love to see what is going on in there. Thanks..

      I'll try, but that may be a few years, though.

    Thats some ingenious methods of un-seizing an engine. I have had no luck with the ATF+acetone mix on a couple of Ford flatheads. They have been soaking for years and still stuck solid.

      G day Roosty I guess a little pressure may help.

      @@donvoll2580 I like that idea.

      I've been doing this my whole life and including helping my dad since the age of 6. We've probably unseized 50 engines or more over the years. I have yet to see an engine come free with soaking alone. It does take force, but what the penetrating oil does is make it easier. Just like a nut comes loose easier with penetrating oil, so does an engine come loose easier with penetrating oil. The one possible exception is iodine, but here in Canada, iodine is impossible to obtain, so I must make use of what I can obtain.

    As I was watching a smile came across my face. I could learn a lot from watching you. Awesome thinking outside of the box. Thank you...

      My dad started doing that more than 30 years ago. He just used one adapter and one hose and used his 806 at the time for hydraulics. It has been very successful. But on more severely seized engines, it was a lot of work because to rock it, we had to unhook everything and push on another cylinder. I improved on his idea and made this power unit and are using the 2 hose idea, so I can rock it without unhooking anything. This unit runs at lower pressure so I often T the hoses and push on 2 running mates each way. So the force is spread out more that way and all cylinders get a shot.

    Very creative thinking! Can't wait for the next video on this tractor. Time well spent.

      Thanks so much. It may be a while until we look at it again.

    God Bless you Ty.
    Looks like you got it handled.

      God bless you too. The engine still has to come apart as there is something else wrong, but most engines we unseized that way ran with very little effort.

      It'll take a while. I have other projects that have priority now that I know this one is going to take more work. But thanks so much for watching.

    Good day Ty Yes grumphy teacher used press
    Ok if u have oil going into all it won't spin wil lt???
    Now a beginning behind u looked like 414??
    Thanks

      When I do this method, I either have the hoses hooked to all 4 cylinders so 1 and 4 are hooked together and 2 and 3 are hooked together. Those are running mates meaning they go the same direction at all times. What I mean by this as when #1 cylinder goes down, #4 goes down with it. and at the same time #2 goes up at the same time #3 goes up. When the engine is running, if #1 is going down on its power stroke, #4 is going down at the same time on it's intake, #3 is going up on its compression stroke and #2 is going up on its exhaust stroke. So when all are hooked up correctly, the engine works like a double acting hydraulic cylinder. so when I push on one set of running mates, the valve is open to allow the oil from the other running mates to return to the tank. When I only push on one cylinder or have both hoses hooked to 2 opposites, I leave the spark plugs out to allow the oil to drain out. When I turn them over afterward, I always leave the spark plugs out to blow the oil out of the cylinders. Yes that's a B414. It's a parts tractor, though.
