Rolled it over tonight.Question?B2650

[Rocky J]

I loosend the top of the the injector line.Do i need to take the line completetly off the injector or loosen the injector itself
to bleed it.I've never done this before.Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried the starter to see if it will turn over or are you thinking there will be a problem? There is only two liquids in the engine, coolant which is in a sealed area and can not get into the cylinders with out a breach of the system like head gasket,Piston liner O Ring ,cracked head. The second is engine oil, it would have had to gotten around the rings to get into the cylinders, it takes a minimum of 15 to 1 compression to diesel meaning very close end gaps to prevent blow by and with the engine hot I doubt there was much end gap on the rings for ten minutes to let any oil in. If it acts funny about turning over you might take a look at your battery and cables , if it was not fastened down it might of put a good pull on the ends or the starter post/solenoid. Back to the glow plug removal , take the nuts off the top of that flat copper bar and remove it out of the way, put a socket on the glow plug and remove like you would a spark plug . What dont kill you will make you stronger ?

Thanks to everyone who responded.I have never had to really work on diesels other than to change filters and regular maintenance.Just wanted to make sure i was going in the right direction before damaging an engine.

I was trying to taper the end of a bank that has been dug out.Got real tippy real quick and tried to back off when it rolled.Not a scratch on me and the only scratch on tractor was on a light mounted on the rops.

Did the same thing in the same way a few years ago with a BX25. Ran on it's side and blew clouds of smoke till it ran out of fuel after turning key off. Pulled it back upright with my truck up the hill and started it and ran fine the rest of the time I owned it. I just turned the key and cranked a short time and fired right up. Smoked some but then cleared out. Fire it up and go forth!:thumbsup:

It's probably all good but dont want to take any chances.

I never rolled one sideways but stood my loader on its nose once. The bucket on my loader is probably off a backhoe 7 foot wide and should have a 5 foot on it. I was getting better and better at rolling the bucket into the pile getting bigger scopes every time. Then when I had it up high enough to see the sidewalk in front of me, maybe 6 foot high I started rolling the bucket out with hopes of sprinkling gravel as I backed up. That sidewalk came at me very fast and with a thud , my first thought was the back half of the loader with the engine on it broke off, looked back and it was above me,took one hand off the roll bar and pushed the dead man switch on the dash. Pushed the lever and let the loader back down. It seemed like half a second and 1 minute at the same time.

Follow advice above, maybe turn over by hand with a bar to see it you got oil over the pistons, just do not force it or start it till you know.

Aren't some of these engines indirect injection? It seems pulling the injector wouldn't help.

As stated above you should not be able to easily liquid lock a diesel. Theoretically you could run enough oil through an open valve to do it, but I doubt that happened. Either way, I would just hand turn the engine over using a socket on the harmonic balancer before I started disassembling things.

Clean the seat off to remove the odor, check the fluids, and you should be good to go.

If you have time it would be beneficial to me (and others) to see the location where you rolled. Also where the bucket was and what was in it. Just think it could be a point of reference for us to learn from your misfortune. Glad you weren't hurt. :thumbsup:

Bucket was on the ground pushing dirt.it will probably be the weekend before I can get a picture.I would love to have a set dual wheels on the rear for stability.In hindsite I had a 7ft landscape rake on the back.If I had dropped it maybe it would have give me enough support to back off without rolling.
