Really--that makes the most sense---4x4, because it would cause a complete starvationYou said it’s in a skidder they didn’t roll it or get it so far off kilter it wouldn’t pickup did they
not just one journal or two.

60K is pretty close.Reminds me of a customer with a DD15. Last two oil changes indicated chunks of oil pump suction seals in the oil pan. Hey dude, better fix that. Maybe later, we are too busy.
Hey, Coaldust, why is my oil pressure dropping? Dude, your oil pump is broken. You should do the re-seal thing and maybe put a new pump on it. Maybe later. We are too busy and it seems fine now.
Hey, Coaldust, it was making a funny noise and now there is a hole in the side of the block. Dude, I’m not the kind of person to say I toad ah so, but I fkn ah’ toad a so.
Now, they are pointing fingers at everyone that had ever touched that engine. Once they saw the $60k quote for a swing engine.
Right at the beginning of tourist season with contracts to meet and fuel to deliver. Two months to get a swing engine and who knows how long to get an appointment with someone willing to take on a big job during the busy season. That’s a winter job.60K is pretty close.

I can tell you--a 3406 will run four blocks before lockup when the drain plug falls out.
Mike I seriously doubt you did anything wrong on the work performed. It was either a oil pump/filterI’m going back to check numbers on the bearings and inspect the machine for signs of a rollover. The longer I think about it the more it isn’t adding up. 4x4 may be onto something.
That’s a good idea. He most certainly would have posted an upside down skidder on the gram.Check social media of the young operator, might be a confession & pix there.
Hey Mike,I guess I know that it’s probably not my fault but this is the first one I’ve had fail and it’s eating at me. I’m thinking way too much about the what ifs and how to prevent it the second time.
