Got a salvage yard crawler with a bad engine. No injection system now and engine turns stiff. Anyone tried to put another engine into a HD3? What would be a good transplant engine to set in it if able to do so? Or does someone have an old Allis-Chalmers diesel 175 cube engine laying around that was taken out of HD3/ D15D that would be usable for donor parts? Here is a pic of crawler, blowing critter nests out of valve train area cuzz valve cover was sitting on the two studs.  On market place, seen a Simpson SJ436E engine says 46 kw, and a Perkins 404...Also a 4 cylinder Mercedes OM616 2.4L Would that make the crawler run like a Cadillac? I might have to go hunt down a D15 160 cube engine and put in, probably be the easiest avenue to go. Sure would like to keep it diesel. Thanks, JC ------------- He who says there is no evil has already deceived himself The truth is the truth, sugar coated or not. Trawler II says, "Remember that." |

I don't know how far you would go to hunt for an engine? A guy in Canada (in BC) swapped out a 175 diesel in his forklift and put in a Detroit 2-53. I know he was trying to get rid of the 175 but don't know the outcome. This is the guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvhKNc7XIQU" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvhKNc7XIQU He has a thread on the forum here, but the 'search function' is not doing anything for me.

H4 AC used a 2200 AC engine that was also used in cotton pickers and few other units , it was a gas or diesel engine basic and turbo or natural aspirated in different applications The Allis-Chalmers 2200 (often referenced as https://www.google.com/search?q=D2200&rlz=1C1HKFL_enUS1206US1206&oq=Allis+Chalmers+2200+engine+&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCjE0MzQ1ajBqMTWoAgiwAgE&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&mstk=AUtExfDh_2kykhvStzcrUgMKijQtQ_ClVdatOs-F83ul0RsqIpC7yLB7fCKDv7CGYQ4ROicGzPQy2Plx--UiVcEoBMf9VIKuLybpGwKC4rVinpXbgNe-ipvsOsTL9RNhhBY8KWo&csui=3&ved=2ahUKEwiY_P2F4tCTAxWo4skDHQm0JhcQgK4QegQIARAB" rel="nofollow - D2200 ) is a 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine utilized in various Allis-Chalmers agricultural and industrial applications, including tractors like the 6060, 6070, and 6080. These engines are known for their reliability but may require overhaul kits for maintenance https://www.google.com/search?q=Allis+Chalmers+2200+engine&rlz=1C1HKFL_enUS1206US1206&oq=Allis+Chalmers+2200+engine+&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCjE0MzQ1ajBqMTWoAgiwAgE&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 ------------- Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do?
