Would anyone happen to know how to tell what engine I have in the TD-6? It is a 1956. I have the service manual for the type of engine but it references several different models. Want to make sure as I look things up that I am looking at the right paragraphs. Also, this tractor has a larger than usual 12 volt battery in it. It is clearly a positive ground system and this is confirmed by the manual.
I put the battery in the tractor today to see if it would turn over the engine. I have reason to suspect that there might be internal damage to the engine as it stopped suddenly when it was last run (with accompanying loud bang). Don't know what kind of damage, if any, and don't really care because it needs to be fixed or parted out and it is too nice to part out. Tried to start it but there was absolutely no movement of the engine. After about four attempts on the starter I smelled something, looked back and saw a little melt coming from the battery ground. Both battery leads were very hot. Disconnected those in a hurry and here I am. Don't know if battery is now ruined or the starter for that matter but could use some advice on how to proceed. Any diesel Farmall/International owners out there who could help? I will do what it takes. Thanks guys!
