Tracked dumper turned over

[Brendan]

Well to add to this year's engine problems, the labourer has managed to flip the dumper on its side down a ditch. Engine was switched off within 20 seconds.
Oil was coming out of the air filter although not sure how much was from the time it was turned off till it was upright.

Going to leave it for a while and let any oil settle down but what's the best way to try and get it going again?
Going to try and rotate it slowly with a spanner and see what resistance is there

Injector out or glow plug if there’s one in the head and air filter off and replace

hope you took a picture and posted it on the oops thread

All of it I imagine.
If the oil was getting into the cylinders while it was running, you wouldn't have been able to shut it off.

Bit of a result it rotated by hand using a socket with minimal force, started up ok but sounds a bit odd although no air filter or housing on it, managed to get it out if the away and will sit there till get a new filter and will check oil level in the morning. Not sure when getting the filter but can sit there for a few days as not needed, fingers crossed nothing has been bent

Ah I hope it's ok. If it was a thwaites / Yanmar you are almost certain to have bent a rod

I'd have checked it 'fore trying to start it

I did a couple of times but oil everywhere, cleaned the dipstick and was a fair bit above min and did check couple of time, oil has gone really thin not sure if bit of diesel also spilt out but due a change anyway
