I really don't know where I should post this within the forum, but since I frequent here and know you guys are a big help I will just give y'all a chance to help me figure it out.
My grandfather has a Lincoln Welder with a Detroit 2-71 Diesel Engine that he bought used from U.S. Steel around 30 years ago. It was old then and it is old now. He has used it alot over the years building our sheds and such but as he has slowed down and with it being so big, he hasn't used it in around 10 years.....maybe a little longer. He says it is a 600 amp welder but I haven't found any like that online.
With it being sat up between 10-15 years, he wanted to get it and bring it down to the shop and start it up and let it run. It has always ran good and never gave any problems. He had it sitting up on the hill with a 3 gallon bucket over the exhaust (which had a rain cap) and it also has the side curtains covering everything. They went to change the oil in it and he said mostly clear water came out and that the oil and water filled up a 5 gallon bucket and ran it over!!! He said the radiator was full of antifreeze when he parked it and since it has been drained.
Where did all of that water come from???? He is very concerned that his favorite welder is ruined and can't figure it out

No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
