Hi all
I looked at a ted 20 today ( vaporized oil i think). I am looking at buying it. It seems to have a few problems, as listed below.
Its not running and has been sitting for a couple of years.
I could not turn the engine over with the crank handle. that tells me its seized or stuck?
Does this mean a rebuild or you may be able to soak the rings with oil for several days?
Radiator was dry and rusty, rusty outlet from engine to radiator.
i could only get it into second gear and no other gears, ( does this suggest gearbox trouble, or is it something to do with seized motor?
I am wondering if i can get it going without doing major rebuilds or does it sound stuffed?
low oil in hydraulics but it was clear
sludge oil in engine, seized adjustable LHS linkage arm.
very stiff accelaerator.
Interested in peoples opinions.
Cheers
