Ok, i have a family friend who has a late 60s CAT 955K parked back in the woods. It has sat for 15 years, it was inside of a building but the building has now collapsed so i would say it has been outside in the open for 10 years.
The diesel is red in color and it has a full tank, am i able to run it?
Cleaned intake out, removed filter it was junk.
Added 10 gal of hydraulic fluid but needs 20 more
Put 2 gal of oil in it still needs 3 more but i want to make sure it will start and run for a minute
The antifreeze is nice and green when i pulled a plug of the side of the head, at the radiator filler cap it is just water
Was left in Neutral, ran great when it was parked, exhaust was covered, undercarriage is good.
But i dont want to do anything more until i can get it to turn over and start
I wired up two 12v 650CCA batteries to make it 24v, starter clicked, clicked, then turned over about 1/4 of a rotation. click, click, then 1/4 rotation.
so i stole 2 larger 1250 CCA batteries from mine and my dads truck, same thing. but then something buzzed and it stopped trying to start with the batteries in the battery bay, hooked the batteries up together then with jumper cables ran them straight to the starter ground and solenoid. turned the key, same thing. click click but this time no rotation. Engine is free and turns over by hand, i think i dont have enough juice. all the batteries i tried were hot and ready to go they even started the cars i took them out of when i put them back. Wtf do i need to do
