rasnodgrass Posted Sunday at 10:38 PM Share Posted Sunday at 10:38 PM I own a 1962 B61T with an endt 673. Shop was idling truck checking for air leaks when motor shut down on its own as if you had shut it down. No type of unusual noise noticed. When trying to restart would not crank over and battery terminals became red hot. Further inspection determined that something had locked up everything including the drive train. Tried pulling but rear tires were locked.Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Joey Mack Posted Sunday at 11:27 PM Share Posted Sunday at 11:27 PM So you pushed the clutch and it won't roll, or turn over?? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75440-1962-endt-673-will-not-crank/#findComment-574141 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasnodgrass Posted yesterday at 12:00 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 12:00 AM I assume the guys at the shop did but can't say for sure. Just know they tried pulling it after the starting attempt failed and rear tires would not roll. Not sure if clutch was depressed Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75440-1962-endt-673-will-not-crank/#findComment-574145 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted yesterday at 12:04 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:04 AM if it was out of air or the brakes not released, it wont roll.. sounds fishy to me... 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75440-1962-endt-673-will-not-crank/#findComment-574146 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechohaulic Posted yesterday at 12:47 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:47 AM anyone check to see if engine had oil i it. engine seized ?? a diesel will not just shut down without cause, thanks JoJo , checking for air leaks with engine running ?? normally a mechanic will put shop air to system so as to listen for leaks . hope this shop is reputable / not looking for a customer screwing.

mrsmackpaul Posted yesterday at 03:10 AM Share Posted yesterday at 03:10 AM Try turning the motor over by hand, socket and breaker bar on the bolt on the front of the crank If it has spring breaks/maxi cans, it won't roll when you tried to pull it Paul Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75440-1962-endt-673-will-not-crank/#findComment-574163 Share on other sites More sharing options...
