Subject: RE: Cat D4C Engine swap


Faunsdale, AL
A D4c should have a 75-80 Hp 4 cylinder engine produced in the 1960's or 1970's possibly.

I think the serial number off the engine would tell the tale on what engine it actually has, but if I am thinking of the right age tractor, CAT used the D330 through most of the 1960's, then the D330c around 69 through 70-71and then the 3304 in the 70's. All different designs, but the C was only produced for a few years as a forerunner of the 3304 with the same bore and stroke, possibly using the same block and crankshaft etc, but different waterpump, oil cooler arrangements etc.

If it were possible to swap engines, the 330c and the 3304 might be the best choice, but I would only attempt it if I had a parts machine with all the peripheral equipment that would probably be required to complete the swap. CAT made running changes throughout all series of tractors, so even in the same series, getting on the wrong side of a serial number break can make swaps difficult.

Post tractor and engine serial numbers, arrangement numbers etc and probably someone can help.
