I have a buddy west of here who isn't on Steel Soldiers, he owns a M123 tractor, one of the early ones with the LeRoi gas motor in it. The truck is in nice shape, but the motor suffered a detonation many years ago, so there is a hole in the block, and the rest of the motor got scavenged for parts over the years to keep other LeRoi motors in operation. He would like to do a repower of the truck and asked me what options there were out there. I know the NHC-250 from the -809 series 5-tons would fit easily, but would have the same output as a 5-ton sized truck, actually less since it would have to move more weight. I'm not sure if a NTC-400 would fit in the -123 bay.
Can anyone shed some light of potential options for a repower? He'd like to use the tractor only for offroad purposes, hauling heavy equipment around, or for bringing to a couple local MV shows (yes, he knows the rig is too wide for road use with the duals on).
