440 icd loader backhoe

Iam going to get my 440 crawler soon, I was going to try and start it. It hasn't run in years.

Have not checked to see if the motor is free.
If it is, is there somthing I can do maybe fill the crank case with somthing? then try and break it free with somthing?
I don't know if its 6 or 12 volt?????
if I can get it running I hope to drive it on a trailer, then I can work on it at home.
any thing I need to do?
drain fuel, put in new, drain filter, bleed injectors.
its key start.
is there a parking break on this thing????? ?
any info would be very helpfull to me. Thanks much scott

My engine was seized badly enough that I had to yank it and hammer out the pistons.
Good luck!

C/P. take the blower off Before you start beating on pistons! I learned the hard way!!!

The guy I bought it from said it was sitting a year. Maybe it was more!

It's a '59, and not running now. My intention is to put a gasoline engine in it. I bought a running gas engine, and still need to get a front mount bracket, a radiator, maybe some pulleys, throttle parts, governor, etc. My son has had a couple of surgical procedures (cochlear implant and removal) so time wasn't kind to me. This spring I intend on following through.

The nice thing about the 440 sized machines is that they are relatively easy to move and an automotive engine hoist can be very useful when needed. You don't need a crane.

The guy I bought this from delivered it. He got it on the trailer he said with a winch. He had a pickup truck with a big winch.

Best Luck!
