Got the grader home,----AND they left it sit outside so the motor filled up with water and stuck the pistons. Cant get the pan off without taking the motor out but I did get the head off so far.
It had 3 gallons of water in the oil pan and I dont know how many times it froze up in there, so the bottom end is probably messed up.
When I loaned it to them, the deal was that it would always be parked under a roof of some kind. It ended up outside instead and they said it wouldnt start so they just left it out!
NEVER again will anybody use my equipment.

Head off and I been soaking the pistons with $6. a gallon diesel fuel! lol! --- anyway motor gonna have to come out to work on it!
