Hey everyone thanks for reading, I have a new Holland ls160 which was purchased from the auctions after it had rolled off a truck. so it had been on its side for a few hours im assuming. when I got ownership it was mostly complete only missing the seat with the seat belt lock and the plate which seperates the engine from the cabin. so all I have it two plugs in the cabin which I think is the seat belt sensor plug and the seat sensor plug. I have had an auto electrician look at it and we managed to get it to wind over and almost start. He twisted all three of the seat sensor wires togeather and added a wire in the fuse panel, where it goes is anybody's guess lol. I can now almost start it now but when it fires up it swiftly shuts down again, I have diesel coming up the lines but it wont fire unless I put diesel down the top of the motor but when it fires it pumps oil out the exhaust like nobody's business, so now im left puzzeled any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
The one thing I see is that I think the seat sensor harnass has a resistor built in to it. I just had troble with my seat belt not working. I just put a push button switch in the wiring so we could move it around. Can't help you with the engime. Good luck. Ron
 
Don't try to start it until you make sure the engine can roll over freely. Take out the glow plugs and if you have to take the rad off to do it by hand. If it was running when it fell off the truck and filled with engine oil you could do thousands of dollars damage by starting it.
 
Although if it has been run and is blowing oil out the damage is possibly done already, still I would not start it up.

thanks for the replies, I think im going to pull the head off to see if I have cracked a oil ring on the roll over. there is a lot of oil coming out and I cant understand where its coming from except maybe a busted oil ring or two filling cylinders full of oil. I have had it winding over first to make sure everything sounded like it was spinning ok, it all seemed like it sounded ok until it started throwing oil out.. If I don't have the sensors connected properly would this cause it to shut down once started?
