    Posted: 22 Oct 2013 at 1:35pm
I have a AC HD5 Bulldozer that I haven't used in a few years. I borrowed it from a relative and I am ready to send it back to him. I attempted to start it and it would not turn over. I noticed the can I was using as a rain cap was not on the muffler.  I pulled the starter and it seems to be working fine. Could there be water in the cylinders? If so, how can I release the pressure so it will turn over? Is the engine toast because of the possible water?

Should I attempt to lift the blade off the ground and try to jump start it? At this point I'm not sure what is wrong and don't want to make matters worse.

I would appreciate any suggestion on what I should do next.

Thanks!

It could have water down the stack and into cylinders . Or other issues - see if you can turn the engine at all with a pry onto the flywheel teeth.
 If it has water in cylinders it seems there would be water in the oil also , crack the drain plug on the pan and see if you get water seeping around the threads as plug is loosened . 
 If so you may have to pull the injectors to turn it over with no compression or hold the valves open on exhaust to allow it to turn over - pulling the injectors will mean you have to retime them when installing them back .

Last one i had that would not turn over had a broken lobe on blower - water had went down stack - ran into blower housing - froze and cracked blower lobe .

Thanks for you response!
Is the "lobe" part of the blower and not serviceable? Would I be able to see the crack without pulling the whole blower assembly?

I will try the pry bar. The starter would move the crank a 1/4 to 1/2 inch at a time.

Tried the pry bar - it didn't move at all.

If the pistons have water on top of them then adjusting the valve tight should relieve this . The other part of removing the injectors would open the cylinder to allow anything to escape and or to allow oil to be introduced into cylinder above the liner ports .
 As far as checking the blower - about the only way is by removal from engine to check it's condition. 
 So you are faced with how far down do you tear the engine to find the problem. 
Might also pull the inspection cover over clutch area and try turning the engine in both directions from there - making sure nothing is binding or stuck and transmission is in neutral so your not trying to move full machine by turning the flywheel.

Be careful on cranking the rocker arms sown to the point the pistons will hit them... there are weep holes in the airbox and see if they are open...If a 2-71 has air box covers, you can remove them and look in. ... Turn the engine backwards if you can till piston moves downward and the water is let out the air inlets in the sleeve... maybe you can suck the water out via a small hose from the bowl of piston...
  Good luck.
Seems the 2-71 is a different critter when it comes to design of its bigger brothers...

JC,

I am not familiar with Diesel engines. What is the air box? Where is it located? I have been looking at a parts catalog online but don't see it listed. http://www.minnpar.com/partbooks/Allis%20Chalmers%20Construction%20%26%20Fiat%20Allis/Dozers/HD5%20PM%20%2370626003.PDF

The part with the big GM cast into side . in lower side of that is a drain plug - it must be open to allow moisture to drain from box.

On this view of engine you will see a plate bolted into casting - by removing this plate one can see the liners and the edge of the postons - this is also part of air box or intake part of engine .

 As Detroit 71 series is a 2 cycle engine - no intake valves are present but the piston acts as a valve - allowing the scavenge air to enter the combustion chamber to both expel burnt charge and to resupply clean air supply when exhaust valves are closed .

Did you check your hydrolic lever if he is't engaged and if he is't disconnect the front hydrolic pump she could be frose in rust

Never thought of that Hector - good idea , drop front guard and access hyd pump, move it out of mesh with front pulley and see if the pump is free
