[QUOTE="jameslmarchetti70@gmail.c, post: 134943, member: 24475"] If the unit was out in the cold for a good time. The oil or water in the oil froze. Remember that you also have frozen Cylinders and hoses, that need to warm up that may take some time to thaw. How long did you warm up the machine? You mentioned a switch that switch acuates some valve and that may also be frozen and possibly stuck. This freeze up. That does more harm than good. You can't see all the internal components. Once the unit begins to move you may want to consider a flush of the oils in the system so it has no or less water in the system Or get an anti water additive. Put that in the tank. Pumps will freeze also. Did you shear a pump shaft dragging it inside. All kinds of things may have taken place. First thing is give it time to warm totally then try it. You cannot even do a flush of the oil until it warms tottally. So give it time. Also remember if you blew a gasket it tells me the oil had no place to go. The pump was working or it just plain froze up. Good luck and post the results that you find. Helps all. [/QUOTE]
