Hi All,
I am looking at buying a 1155 track loader with a terrible engine knock! This would be my largest project ever, I have built 7.3 Ford engines, smaller Bobcat/Kubota engines, Case skid steer/Cummins engines, and the like, but nothing this big. This engine sounds like it has a broken rod but the block is still in tact to this point.
If I buy it I think I need to have it winched on and off of the trailer to keep from cranking it in hopes of saving the block. Would any of you have a link to a video of the engine removal on this type of machine? The machine looks to be in very good condition other than the engine, I don't see any oil leaks busted hoses or leaking cylinders. If I could get this running again it would last me the rest of my life on our family piece of land.
All help and advice is appreciated.
