Help! 3 cyl 820D was Florenced

[Jethro Lilley]

Our family's 820D 3 cyl was flooded by Hurricane Florence. Other than changing all the fluids, replacing the starter and battery, what would be the
internal items that need addressing? We hope to save this tractor.
I'm 200 miles away and can't get there until next weekend, but my cuz will install a new starter this weekend. Should he attempt to turn the engine
over or is there something else he needs to do first? Remove the injectors? Not sure if the muffler went under. Have to assume it did. The local
tractor techs are flooded with flooded tractors. Need to deal with this on our own.

Hurricane Matthew flooded almost everyone out 2 years ago with a 17 foot crest. Florence crested at 23 feet. Everyone lost everything. Our cabin is on
the only 25 foot hill around. Came up the steps but not in the house. Got chest-high in the cabin downriver. Hasn't flooded into that cabin since it
was built in 1939. They are going down to strip the inside this weekend.

There is a round dust cap on the left side near the clutch pedal that will expose the flywheel,,use a pry bar and see if you can rotate the engine slowly a couple full rounds,,if you can then try the starter, if you "can't" then you will need to pull the injectors..it's not likely that water actually got into the injector pump,,flush and clean the fuel tank and engine/transmission oil.

Be sure to change hyd filter & check/clean hyd sump screen(key 34). Try to clean the silt if present out of trans as best one can.

Change all filters as well, esp the air filter. Hope you can save it.

Why is the starter and battery being changed ?
As previously stated . Drain flush and fill transmission/hydraulic with Hy-Gard . Most tractors are over due for such anyways .

All I can say is you better get it going fast. There's nothing worse than a flood tractor that has sat a while.
