I'd find out the serial # and as much of the engines history as possible. CAT engines are really nice to drive but repair prices are more than Cummins. If its decent you'll never go back to an old style Cummins.
-
oh ok that's what I'm afraid of....i'm going to find the serial number and post it.
-
Run away from the cat and find an N-14. It is gonna bleed you dry as far as makin it run an keepin it operational. If your a big cam guy you should find an N-14 you will be much happier
-
Yeh thats why there is so much yellow paint cause they don't run and cost a fortune
Working Class Patriot Thanks this. -
This guy.
-
is their any comparison between the N14 and the 35406e Cat?
-
Im just a kid. The joke didn't go so well. But heard those N14's aren't worth it. You want an N14 go looking for a red top. The 3406e is a beast man!
-
Where's Marty?....He's all about the CAT......

I know another forum that you are on where asking that question will be more entertaining
