Popular Post Hobert62 Posted September 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2019 Found this at my buddies scrap yard today. I’d like to save it but have no need or knowledge on it or anyway to handle it. My 8.3 Cummins was almost to heavy for my engine hoist 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelman Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Is that a generator connected to it? What would it take to own it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobert62 Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 Yes. Pretty sure it was a generator, didn’t really look at that end. They had a v12 Cummins awhile back with a generator too. Idk on a price. He was leaving when I got there today and said have fun. I will talk to him tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tjc transport Posted September 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2019 it would be a real shame to scrap a blower driven cummins engine if it still ran. 3 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

AZB755V8 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Thought I knew my Cummins but that is an odd one for me. Or maybe before my time anyway. Looks like it has been inside for its life, I'd say it probably runs. Both intake and exhaust ports are on the same side. Is that a two valve head not a four valve? Small 672? or 743 Cu/In. What spec. is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobert62 Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 Didn’t see much on the tag. Plan on going out tomorrow again, I was on a different mission today. He has a Amish guy that buys most of his generators so prob won’t end up scraped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truck Shop Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I could be way wrong but it looks like a old 300 to me. Quote One ping only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I don't see piston cooler plugs that a 300/320 would have. Injection pump looks to be a disc not a PT so it is old, old. Intake and exhaust are on opposite sides on a four valve 743. The mystery continues... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobert62 Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 It is a H model delivered June 1951. Got some more pics. Will post soon. Oil looks clean in it. Said it would take $1800+or- to own it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobert62 Posted September 18, 2019 Author Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) I’m trying to justify buying it. Pretty sure I can get it for less then 1800. Have no need whatsoever but hate to see it gone forever. They estimate there’s 200-300 pounds of copper in the generator. If I don’t get it will prob be taken apart with an excavator.

HeavyGunner Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Well, buy it take the copper off and sell that. Then take that old engine and find the right truck to stick it in. That’s a win win right? 1 Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

Hobert62 Posted September 18, 2019 Author Share Posted September 18, 2019 Thought of that. But I’m not sure if an industrial engine will work right in a truck the way the governor is set up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Hobart Before you do anything serious to take it apart, contact user "dieselsteveo" over on the Just Old Trucks .com website.. Peter J's forum... He is part of the Cummins 100th anniversary team and would likely know of someone who would want the complete unit?? 2 Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
