I have recently been given a 1985 ditch witch with a seized engine. It is my understanding it has been sitting outside in the elements (I live in Alaska) for at least 10 years. I am looking for info on how to release the engine (tried breaker bar) as well as which direction to turn the engine. Is it still lefty loosy or should it be turned to the right? We live off grid so I am hoping for a simpler solution than have to go through a heavy equipment mechanic. Any info is appreciated.
