The City added traffic lights 2/3 up the hill to make it more interesting during the winter. My grin would look upside down if my carrier brakes failed on that hill.
This afternoon I got to spend 1/2 hour between rain showers visiting my carrier. I am almost 100% positive my carrier's hull number is 13862 C. But I didn't find/see the engine number on the right intake manifold (right side looking forward while standing at back of carrier).
Question - How to best try turning the engine by hand as all belts are missing?
I can shove the clutch in but can't shift into neutral from reverse. Next weekend I will visit the carrier for a longer time and I intend to jack it up and place boards under the tracks. The carrier is sitting on a slight rise facing upward. Once it is on boards I am going to use a screw jack anchored to truck to slowly take any rearward pressure off the gears. Hopefully then I will be able to shift it into neutral.
If that doesn't work I will prepare to remove the tracks unless someone has another suggestion to try.
