4MG Rebuild

No target date. We'll work on it as we have time. Swapping the cab from the aluminum frame to the rolling chassis may be an adventure, but we are going to have the engine and trans in it before we swap the cab!

 

Yes it's a B model Cat. Thanks!

 

About the only difference in the chassis is the aluminum frame has air track and the "new" one is air leaf. It's nice having an example to go look at.

 

The problem was the fear of drilling clear through the block into the oil gallery abd getting shavings in there. We could have dropped the pan and tried to collect shavings, and tried to flush them out of the oil gallery, but rather than take that gamble we opted to start with a better block.

I'm not disagreeing with you. Access to the area while in the frame was challenging, so once we pulled the engine we chose to start with (I hope) a better block.

 

Guilty as charged!
