ClassicTractorProfessor 5,314 #1 Posted February 14, 2019 Figured out one of the added perks of being a tow truck driver yesterday, you can come to your own rescue if need be . Not sure what happened to the old Chevy, went to feed the horses this past weekend, old battery is getting weak but she jumped right off and ran fine. But it was too far gone to run the pump to pick up a 1400 LB bale. No problem went to the shop and picked up a new battery, put It in and now all it will do is turn real slow two or three times then kick back so violently it sounds like the crank is gonna break in two. So I grabbed the wrecker after work yesterday and drug it over to my shop so I can try and get it going again. 7 1 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bc.gold 3,403 #3 Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) Timing chain is worn so bad that it has slipped over a few teeth on the gear set, if the engine has the original timing gears then the larger one has platic teeth molded over an aluminum base metal. The plastic often self destructs leaving you stranded. The OEM plastic tooth timing gear sets are used to dampen engine noise, Industrial engines use a timing gear set made up with gears that mesh together eliminating the weak chain.
