My friend left his 806 diesel loader tractor sit in a pasture for over a year without the exhaust covered. it is now stuck. He has poured a gallion of WD40 down the exhaust.

Was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to break it loose?
 
no rain cap so its engine tear down time.it wont magically repair it self. where was his million dollar tomatoe can.?
 
If it were me as i do not believe in the snake oil treatment myself i would pull the head off as for the WD 40 haw your waisting your time . Once the head is off then and only then can you CLEAN out the rust with a hone and then get your self a can of ZEP penetrating fluid as it is the best you will ever find and it is not easy to find or cheap but it does work . Once the hole or holes are cleaned out then a block of hard wood and a good BMFH and a couple raps and it will turn then clean some more change oil put head back on reset valves and start and run till warm re torque reset valves run for fifty hours and retorque head again .
 
You could try to take the plate off the bellhousing on the right side and try to turn the flywheel with a tire iron on the flywheel working it back and forth. may take some time or maybe it wont come loose.. Worth a try. I have done it before. The plate has 2 1/4 inch bolts with 7/16 heads.
 
i would remove injectors and glow plugs and anything else that would let some air into the cylinders. then i would use compressed air and blow the water and wd40 out of them and let the cylinders air dry for a few days and blow them out again and again. then get some good penetrant and add a goodly amount to each cylinder and keep doing this for a week or so and then using some kind of iron blade, try to get the crankshaft to move one way or another. good luck.

remember that oil floats on water. without blowing the water out and drying out the cylinders, the penetrating oil does not get to the pistons or the rings.
 
> where was his million dollar tomatoe can?

Good question. Wind blew it off? BTW capping the exhaust doesn"t always do it. If the exhaust pipe is not a tight fit into the manifold water can run down the outside of the pipe and in.
 
I'd try breaking it loose without any tear-down before tearing it all down. What do you have to lose, besides time?
 
he said so himself, that he left the pipe uncovered for over one year. and ya i know about all those places where water can get in. but at least make an attempt to cover the exhaust.
 
Take the valve cover off and be sure all valves will move freely, otherwise you may bend a push rod or damage the cam lifter. Follow the directions below to clear the water and WD 40 from the cylinders with air and turn back and forth with a pry bar in the teeth of the flywheel. The 806 does not have glow plugs.
 
it has a badly bent rain cap that did not fit tight. It only snowed once last winter and rained twice this year. I can"t believe there could be much water left in it.

We took the starter off and the cover on the right side. Couldn"t get it to move.

I"m not sure we can load the tractor to move it. He couldn"t have picked a worse spot to park it. You need a 4wd to get across the canyon. The cow path road is too narrow and full of trees to get a semi in there.
 
Kly, Sorry, I with Vet and the rest. Get the tractor home and in the shop! Get off the head Inspect it and go from there. 806s are great tractors , might be time for and overhaul anyway!! not a time for Snake oil remedy's!
Problem is most people put a loader on a tractor and almost immediately start treating them like Crap!!! and at one time that tractor was that owners main tractor and he really took care of it.
Really ? Seriously?? over a year and he didn't check on that tractor down in the pasture! WOW*
