Was using Kubota L35 TLB a few days ago and started making a crazy clanking sounds while it was running. I shut it off and it restarted a few times making the same noise. Tried a few other times and you can see the fan move a little in the front then nothing so it just kinda makes a Kline when you try and start it. I assume the motor may be toast any opinions. One other thing is the negative battery cable got real hot the few times I tried to turn it over again if that’s an indication of anything. I bought this off an auction a few years ago and repacked all the cylinders except the one inside the boom. Changed some hoses and stuff had like 2500 hrs on it. Any info is appreciated or links to any videos taking the motor apart and finding the problem. Thanks
