A few years ago I built a 172 diesel engine for
my brothers 850. Bored sleeveless block .030
new rings, bearings,good crank. Runs
beautifully good oil pressure very good power.
He has been using it for two years now as his
garden tractor and the odd grading or
bushogging job around town. Thje only problem
Is that sometimes while pulling hard it will
seize up and shut off. Then crank right back up
and runs fine. It has done this many times. It
happened when I used it the other day grading
the other day. After using it all day I was
driving it wide open on the way home and it
seized up. But cranked right back up and went
the rest of the way home. Has me baffled any
Ideas?
