Looking for cylinder head for a d343 other known as 1693. going in our 988 (A). Overhauling engine will be needing cylinder packs, head gasket etc but those look to be more readily available. Radiator will also need to be rebuilt or replaced I'm told Maine radiator can rebuild but have yet to call. Also years ago tried to replace the oil cooler through Cat and got the wrong one. Plugged the bottom tubes that were worn through to work the following day and it's been that way since. Will be needing to replace that also. Engine came out of a 769 Haul truck, back in the eighties. Located in Massachusetts. Thanks for reading. Any pertinent information is welcome, I would like to learn more about the machine. I am third generation running this machine.
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
