[@ccrider5398]

Thanks for the update on the owners and the operation of the equipment. It could have been worse. . .

[@Farm_fab]

For those that don't know, part of the liability factor has to do with the fact that the engine/hydraulic oil may have leaked out, so that operating the equipment in that condition might be devastating to the equipment. It's always best to assume the worst case scenario and avoid the risk.

[@spudgamer6049]

Or, with equipment on its side like that, there may be oil or water in the cylinders. Very easy way to bend a rod, blow a head gasket, or worse, trying to spin an engine with fluid in the cylinders.

[@Harry-zz2oh]

Thanks for the clarification. Some of us, who never (at least we try) work with this equipment don't usually think about damaging the equipment. Your comment helps us understand the other aspects of recovery work.

[@Chris_the_Muso]

@@spudgamer6049 Exactly. There's no telling what further damage you could do just by trying to turn the engine over. There's almost certainly at least one cylinder that started to fill up with oil while the equipment was on its side. Assume the worst and plan accordingly.

[@chriskulpa4056]

Not only fluids in the cylinders but no oil to pump until it's uprighted as well and possibly as others said the fluids leaked out or ait in places there shouldn't be for a dry start. best to let them settle back to where the fluids should be. My sis rolled a pickup once and I bought it back from the insurance company because it was still in decent shape. Took all the plugs out and ran the starter a few cycles to push fluids out then left the cylinders open for a few days for things to evaporate as much as possible

[@alfadoofus]

Good to see the owners get their equipment back

[@infoanorexic]

For those that wonder ... if an engine has sat out of it's normal operating position for any length of time, oil can leak past the pistons inside, into the combustion chamber. Oil won't compress, so any cylinder rolling to compression while it is full of oil gets fluid locked. Attempting to start them can result in broken pistons, bent rods ... major damage requiring replacement of very expensive parts or the entire engine. I knew a few farmers that found that out the hard way, on grain trucks or tractors that had been tipped over in the field. When the machine was righted, they insisted, in spite of warnings, that the tow truck operator pull start them. A grain truck ended up with a rebuilt engine, a tractor ended up getting parked in a fence row for many years.

[@RonPratt]

Yep, exactly why we don't attempt to start them. Thanks for giving the viewers a good explanation. God bless.

[@infoanorexic]

@@RonPratt I just remembered a bit ago, having a Dakota pickup that the fuel injector got stuck open. It got seriously loaded up on gas, and I tried to start it a few times before I realized what was happening. About a year (and two transmissions) later, the truck started burning and blowing massive amounts of oil, equivalent to a full oil change every 500 miles. Long story shortened, the space between the piston rings got sheared away from the rest of the piston on all four cylinders, and the rings had no support. So ... Any time the engine suddenly starts hard fighting the starter, it needs to be investigated. Pull plugs on a gas engine, or pull injectors from a diesel, spin and see what comes out (and be ready to clean up a mess ).

If it's been on it's side, turn it over a couple of times BY HAND to clear any oil in a cylinder before cranking it. 19 times out of 20, not needed, but that 20th time it will save a crank or bent rod.

That recovery cost anywhere between 3500 and 5k.

[@davez2989]

You realize a lot depends on the day, time, hr, location, size of truck going out, who's calling police VS customer, where the work is located. I can see weather also playing a role. My state requires operators to list charges with them but I suspect those are worst case. Towing moms car to the shop is going to be different then semi jacked knifed in a big pile of mess on the highway. million $ truck VS 150k is going to charge different rates. Had my towing insurance call me a tow once and like 2 hrs latter the tow company literally 400 feet down from me shows up. I mentioned to the driver and the 2+ hrs and the driver and I started to talk and he tells me the Insurance company game they deal with. Basically ins company calls tow company and low balls them like tow car ten miles for $50 they say no way too little "don't blame them" so after they call around they call again but this time it's $80 and everyone is like no. Eventually the ins company just pays what ever the tow operator quotes. So my tow was like 450 he said, If I would have called it would have been about $80 to 100 depending on the miles. He told me then had a simple hook, miles, time based fee for my kind of job.

[@michaelwilkening8542]

My dad drove a semi in the late 70s and he said for a wrecker to show up was $500. If the actually did anything the cost went up from there. A jump cost him $800. After that he spent $200 a year on batteries to prevent that from ever happening again.
