Is there a market for this motor? Or is it just to odd ball to fit in anything. I have one in a scrap 4400 combine with less than 2400 hours on it and seems a shame to scrap it. I think its only other use is a 4030.

Used in a lot of things. Not a great engine, but don't scrap it. If it runs, it's worth much more than scrap. Same engine family as a 359, 414, 6.8L and maybe a few more.

We have a 2840 with over 16,000 hours on it. Also had 2 6600s. One left on it's own power, the other did not. I didn't mean they are bad engines, but not as good as Waterloo engines. Their short stroke makes them hard to start, and low on torque, but easy on fuel.

I've got one I took out of a 6600 combine I scrapped a couple years ago. I kept the engine thinking I would use it for something one day. So far, it's just sitting in the shed under a tarp.

I sold the engine. The guy put it in a skidder and has since decided he needs more power. The skidder had a 414 in it originally. He has recently decided to purchase my 404 with a turbo to put in it instead. He asked me if I would trade him back. I think Colorado is a little far away though.
