Hello folks. The turbo bearings on my 46A have failed. Lots of smoke and intermittent power loss. Removed air cleaner to find fore and aft play and wobble on the turbine. The tractor has an early serial number and someone before me stuck a high horse engine in it so serial number on tractor won’t help me for sourcing a replacement. The turbo appears to be a Garrett make, model T1867 with customer (Cat) number 4N5643 and no Garrett part number on it. I have called a few places and scoured the internet for a match but nothing for 4N5643 that isn’t outrageously priced.
My question is, is there another cat part number that will work on my engine? There seems to be a few different ones online for D8H but I don’t know if they would fit. Thanks for any help folks.
