Here is what I did. I have a 262D Turbo engine (~1962 vintage) that I had Berry Cam in Lester Prairie, Mn checkout. The guy there said it needed quite a bit repair and it might be good if I found another core to start with.
I checked the Agco parts book and it showed the D17D and D19D used the same cam (part numbers are the same) so being that I had a junk 262D out of a 1958 D17, I brought him that cam and he repaired it and I have now installed that in my 262D turbo engine.
I haven't fired the engine yet but I am concerned as I have heard a few people mention that the D19D by itself had 4 different cams.
I just called Barry Cam to see if he knows if I have an issue or not. Left a voice mail.
Basic question I have for you guys is.....should I try this engine with the D17 cam in it? Or should I dig the original D19 262D turbo cam out of the parts bin and have that one reworked?
Thanks in advance,

I don't know if this helps, but when I went looking for another cam for my D17 D262, I ended up getting one from Valu-Bilt, they said there were either 3 or 4 different numbers they had listed for a D262. One was the same as the D230 in a WD45. I'd like to tell how mine runs, but I'm still waiting on the radiator shop... ------------- "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian."

| If I remember right back in the D19D days they burned valves so a new cam was designed to solve that problem. MACK |

Brian, be sure your cam has the flats cast in to clear the connecting rods on the 4 3/8 stroke engine. ------------- Most problems can be solved with the proper application of high explosives. |

| When I rebuilt my d19d, I got a cam from valu-bilt and the one they sent was for a gas engine (had a lobe for fuel pump I took it as a gas cam) called them and they wanted the casting number from old cam, sent me a new one, checked the specs and it looked like they took the shortest lobe and made them all the same, was way under size on lift. I called a few people and was told to use the gas cam ( the specs were close to new) so I put the gas cam in and it runs great, most people said it would run better with the gas cam and it does. |

Thanks for conferming what I have heard is true. MACK

I just checked the Valu Bilt website and they show the same part number for the D17 and D19 diesel.

I'll have to call them later today to confirm.
I did call my guy at Berry Cam and he said he would have ground the D17 cam to the specs of the D19 cam. Hmmm....it was 4 months ago.
Thanks
