Good news Steve! Looks like you have been lucky two days in a row. Might want to think about buying that lottery ticket today.

I had an older dozer break an idler and roll over on it's side when I was cutting a hill and did a similar thing. The only way I could stop the engine was to put it in it's highest gear, keep holding up on the blade lift and hold up on the rear ripper lift. The combination of all three was enough to choke it out. Otherwise, I was baffled. On that old tractor the only kill switch was a lever you pulled to shut off the fuel, but obviously that didn't help. Other than the previously stated broken idler, it just fouled the plugs in the little 2 cyl pony engine that started the diesel engine (I told you it was old).

Glad to hear you weren't hurt! I wasn't there, so I don't know how it was laying, but you may have been able to kill it by holding the FEL until it stayed on bypass and put it in high gear and pop the clutch. However, like I said, since I was there, you may have torn up your tractor trying to kill it that way.

Great News !
You are one lucky fellow !
Question - Couldn't this whole run away problem be prevented by rerouting the crank case breather , or installing a angle sensitive check valve in the breather line ?

Very close! I don't know the series, but it was a D7 that had as many handles as an old road grader!

I am glad it is up and running! If you haven't changed the oil yet I would take an oil sample and have it analyzed. If you have already changed it I would run it a couple of hrs then take an oil sample. If the results come back ok you have peace of mind. If the results come back showing high in metals you can repair it before you have a catastrophic failure.

I'll post back and start another topic when I locate an air kill.

Steve

1st of all, glad to hear that both you and the tractor are Injury Free from the little incident that you had.



About the air kill device.

If a manual air kill were installed and the pull cable routed to a less than obvious location, but still accessible to be used in an emergency. I'm Thinking routed to the back of the Tractor, 3pt hitch area, this will be accessible in a Roll-Over. As there is a lot of stuff "happening" back there (Linkages, levers, Hydro Quick connects, etc etc ....) for someone who doesn't know the exact schematics of the tractor, a pull cable would seem to fit in, and a would be thief would probably never figure it out. This should work as a "ANTI-THEFT" device if it were closed when the Tractor will be setting "unsupervised" for a period of time.


Any thoughts YAY or NAY if this would be a feasible Anti-Theft device?????


When you find a source, please PM me the contact information, as I will be interested for Safety as well as a Anti-Theft device.


Thanks

Dan
