sparky6398 2 #1 Posted January 21, 2014 As some of you know, I have a D-250 that I have been messing with to get it up and running. The Renault 4 cylinder engine is stuck and I mean hard, don't think it will be saved. I need to find an engine to replace it and need to know the rotation of the engine. I have a couple diesels, a Yammar and a Kubota, but want to make sure they rotate the same direction to be able to make the clutch work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I bought one that was locked up tight, did that for a couple weeks once it was loose it ran fine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sparky6398 2 #3 Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) Duane, Mine had 2" of water in the oil pan under the oil, and also had a little water only left in the radiator. I think if froze and busted the block. Edited January 21, 2014 by sparky6398 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
