If the bottom hose was chewed thru and most of the coolant leaked out, I seriously doubt there is any freeze damage to the block or coolant system. The problem could be rusty scale build up, from being exposed to the atmosphere for who knows how long a period. Many of these old engines have sat for decades and been revived. Just KNOW what you're doing with the fuel injector system before cranking it. Run Away's can destroy an otherwise good engine. At least be ready to close off the air intake before cranking. That would get put to regular use if it was in my possession. My OC46 track loader isn't much of a dozer Edited by CTuckerNWIL - 07 Jan 2022 at 7:27am |

Even a fairly weak mixture of antifreeze offers protection as it forms a slush and not hard and expansive like freezing water.

Anybody know weak places in the block to check for freeze damage? Rats/mice had chewed into the bottom radiator hose and there was no fluid in the radiator to see if it had any antifreeze. They said it did when parked but no way of knowing for sure if it was sufficient.

If the tracks are good , you got your money back , rest if parted are a bonus .
The 2-71 is a easy engine to work on if needed . Hydraulic pump is problem if bad as hard to find any replacement easily but would not rule out it's OK . 33 link track on the 5B dozers , Put some effort into it as it may be slow but can still be a working machine |

Looks like a brand new spocket on this side. Even if you part it out, you did good.

if the pins and bushings look OK.... you got 2-3 times that much value just in the undercarriage..

I bought this thing on a whim. It has sat for about 20 years. The tracks, rollers, sprockets, and rails all look to be in good shape. No one has tried to crank it. Before I do I wanted to get it brought home and look it over good and change fluids if deemed worthy. They said it ran and worked well when parked by an old man who passed away. I gave $850 for it. The hydraulic tank looked to be full of sludge so I was looking into possibly replacing the pump if need be. I figure it’s worth that in scrap if it doesn’t work out.
