[AJD] JD Lindeman crawler

[Dean VP]

Karl:

My guess would be cracked block. However, if there was a hydraulic (water in
the cylinder) lock up then it could be caused by any combination or all
three. Kind of depends on how hot the engine got after the water was put in
and lost. Hard to determine from a distance.

Thanks for the opportunity, Dee!  I'm not particularly interested, but I'd 
like the opinion of other list members on the condition of the engine.

Got hot, then had water poured in and seized up.  Sounds to me like blown 
head gasket, cracked head or block.  Any other opinions?
