D13000 year and any problems with this engine

I am looking at a D13000 year not known ser# 4s10602, condition is fair. Just wondering if there are any issues with this engine. Thanks

other than being heavy as hell, bullet proof and built for decades, no issues.

I am looking for the year for the engine ser# 4s10602 to help find out the year of the crane it is in, thanks

Thats a 1950 model.

This could be a problem, 2nd one I've seen like this.

Hi Hookblock

You ask about any problems with "CAT" model "D13000" engines, in my experience with these engines, even in constant heavy load conditions, driving, generators, crushers, boats etc etc. These engines provided that they are properly and regularly serviced, they will give several thousands of hours without any major attention. I would say that the one shown with a rod through the block, had either not been looked after, or possibly over reved at some time. A TRUELY WONDERFUL DEPENDABLE ENGINE !!!
