Hi All -
Been looking for an engine for a 895 Versatile project tractor I bought a while back.
Found an IH 9670 cabover semi at a local sale last month with a 400 hp big cam III engine. It had been setting for 6-7 years with cab up and the starter off, but all the relatives kept saying "he was using it until the starter quit". So I got it dirt cheap and found a brand new starter in the cab.
We put the starter on, put 1 walmart new battery on it, checked all fluids, etc, and I was amazed when it started right up the instant we hit the button just to test. No smoke and it purred as good as you could ask for.
After 2-3 minutes running and of checking around it started slowing down and died.
Come to find out, the fuel filter was empty and we found the fuel line was only hand tight at the filter housing on the pump on the engine.
So we refilled the filter, primed the line (I've done plenty before like that), but when we went to start it again, it won't turn over. Even with two batteries now, it just barely will turn.
I can turn the engine by hand by the fan, but it is not easy. It feels like the starter is pulling loads of juice - it can very slowly turn the engine, but the cables start heating pretty quick.
Does anyone have any ideas why it won't turn over now?? Could/should I try dumping some oil in the intake manifold and lubing up the cylinders? Could something have gotten "dry" while sitting... as easy as it fired up the first try, I thought I was home free!!
I've put tons of hours in over these old Cummins, but never have overhauled one myself.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
