I bought this Bantam Excavator and the 453 Detroit is siezed. The old guy I bought it from, who I believe to be as honest as they come, told me that the engine was overhauled about a year prior to him shutting it down.
He had a larger trackhoe and when he blew a hydraulic seal he just walked away.
It's been sitting for about two years now. I put a breaker bar on it and it won't budge.
I poured a diesel/oil mix down the exhaust stack for now.
The machine is 2 1/2 hrs away and I can't do more until I get her home, but what should I do to free the engine.
Also Is anyone around Arkansas that can move it for less than $1,000?
Brian
