CAT D6 9U Engine help

Hi Ernie,

Sorry to hear about your bad luck, sounds like you have some more work on your hands. As long as the UC, clutches, and brakes are decent I would think fixing the engine would be the best option (although I may be biased!). Although I can't offer any advice on where to find a possible replacement engine I'm sure someone will chime in with advice. Good luck.

Sorry to hear that.....usually takes a lot to kill one of those D318's.....shouldn't be all that hard to find an engine, there were lots of them built and the scrapper hasn't got them all yet. Where are you located?

Thank you for the thoughts. I am in northeast Oklahoma and have no clue where to turn. Any help from anyone would be great!

Respectfully,

Ernie

If your governor and other peripheral equipment work fine, you can take an engine from anything, DW10, crane, generator set, grader, tractor, boat, you name it. The generator set engines can be a great engine. Lots of them haven't ever accumulated many hours. All would have been done at constant speed etc. Cranes are usually pretty good sources too

Do be cautious, there is a late'50's/early 60's re-design D318G industrial engine with a turbocharger that is not the same old D318 as the rest of them. Not going to be many of those running around though.

i know where 2 is in central ms. if interested

All, I apologize for the confusion here. I am having trouble signing on, so I had to make a new account.

I would be interested in the MS engines if they are available.

I do have a question for all. My block is 1H5652 and I am wondering if any D318 engine will work and I just (just, ha ha) swap out the parts on the engine. I think there are differences in the oil pans (Old Magnet) and will need one.

Thank you.
