Well I unloaded that Bob Cat skid steer today. Use the starter to walk it off the trailer, then pulled it most of the way to the shed with my ford 801. I pulled the spark plug just so as to lessen the compression and drag so the starter could put it where I wanted it. Was moving it that way when all at once the engine sounded different. I put my thumb on the plug hole and spun it over and it blew my thumb off. When the day we loaded it up I had filled the cylinder with ATF and it ran out of the carb so I knew the intake valve was stuck open and no compression because of it. Well any how it now runs, has to be on full choke but runs. Guess I'll be rebuild the carb this afternoon
 
Old, You should get a horse and covered wagon, rebottle ATF and sell it town to town as OLD'S Magic Motor Elixer. lol have a good one gobble
 

i have my own special ATF mix with 1/3 ATF, 1/3 acetone, and 1/3 marvel mystery oil. i dont know if it helps but then i can say i have my own. :lol:
 
Guys , we put atf in a stuck 730case gasser We resurrected last fall ,and got her running ,, What DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD DO ?Trouble is the rocker arm assembly is getting just a few drops of oil thru ,, has very good oil pressure , and comes up to rocker assembly good.. got a qt. of atf in the oil ,, and have not done any work at all with the gal , because i want it to be oiling better ... I suspect rust particles in the rocker area , but am unable to clear during cleaning ... been resisting the urge to use SEA FOAM ,, ruined a gunky chevy Celebrity when it cleanrd the engine and spun a rod bearing , I THINK because of loose gunky carbon , pumped thru the crank jouranals ...
 
(quoted from post at 17:15:54 06/13/10) Would you believe that MMO and ATF are almost the same things other then MMO smells better and cost 3 times more then the ATF does
