Overturned G174. No damage but engine won't turn over because of oil in cylinder

[Rod in Forfar]

What's the best way to let the compression out?

Time sensitive. I need to get the thing back to work.

Basically I was towing an empty wide tandem trailer and one wheel hooked an old stump while the tractor entered a steep side hill. Gear too high. Flipped me off down the sloping mowed lawn while it disengaged its hitch from the trailer and ended up 3/4 overturned. It was running smoothly upside down when I shut it off.

A little engine oil in the air cleaner, and just a hint of diesel around the front corner of the hood (downhill, slightly, when at rest). Apart from that, no apparent damage to either the tractor, trailer, or operator.

My wife pulled it over easily with the Kubota B7510 and a log chain around the axle, in reverse, up the grade.

No, I did not take pictures.

Lesson of the day: the tractor's too light for that size and width of trailer because of the moment the trailer chassis develops if a wheel hits an obstruction.

First call the dealer and ask!!!

You can pull the injectors and then turn it over to get rid of some oil in the cylinders. Might be best to suction them out? Also remove the valve cover and leave off when turning it over and for the first start.



There is thread from another fellow that just did what you did.

I removed the glow plugs (only the forward cylinder had oil) and flipped it over. The rag over the holes blew sky-high with the gush of engine oil. Good thing I hadn't put the tractor in the garage or the ceiling would have had to be washed. This way just the tractor and my clothes need laundering.

The engine started right up once the oil was clear and it runs fine now.

You may want to turn it over by hand after pulling injectors or glow plugs.
We had a skidloader in the shop last winter that had rolled. The owner tried to start it and bent a connecting rod!

I overturned my first machine (a Diesel Steiner) a couple of months back. I shut if off as quick as possible which wasn't easy due to the unfamiliar orientation! I got it uprighted as quick as possible, let it sit for 45 minutes and then disconnected the fuel solenoid so it could not start. Then I cranked it to make sure it turned freely without oil in the cylinders. Fortunately it worked fine.

With oil in the cylinders, I would do the same but remove the injectors to get the oil out.
