Thanks Bob I was wondering about the diesel motor oil,I saw some water in the oil I know to change the oil before starting the diesel,but can the bearings rust and mess the crank up when it starts? not sure how much water is in the oil looks like coffee and cream, the oil still feels like it lubricates. Thanks Michael

Don't think it will hurt much sitting Michael.
Watch out though that might be from the cooling system and have antifreez in it, hope not.
Change the oil and filter as soon as you find that it will start. When you get it going and warmed up check for bubbles in the top of the rad just to make sure. Are you near I79?
All the best with it Bob
