I doubt it's much of a help at this point but I happen to be aware of an engine that might work. I have a friend in Oregon that has a bunch of equipment and in the back of his shop, there is a v10 Deutz that I believe is rebuilt. It at least has a fresh clean and paint job if nothing else...

Nope, wasn't me. I'd wish it was me though! I could use that, or a M1070! Fasttruck: I believe I stated that it can be brought down to the standard width of 102" or even 96" as long as there is some extra deck space. Maybe I just worded that part poorly. There would be 5-6 states involved...

The tractor is a M. Rumely actually. Specifically a 25hp double cylinder plowing engine from about 1910. One of the biggest they made. It's going to be used to build a 30hp double model with a Canadian boiler that I already have. I'll keep you in mind for help though like you said, the Czech...

Maybe it's just the morning effect but I can't think of any necessary details to add right now. What do you guys want to know? Special dimensions? Details of the immediate surroundings? I can rattle off a ton of misc details about the tractor but I'm sure you guys would appreciate information...

Thank you for the suggestion but I'd rather not deal with a broker. I do not like what I've seen from them and I've had much better experiences dealing directly with people.

Hello folks! I'm buying a large antique tractor out of the Lincoln, Nebraska area. If things go as planned, it's going to need to be moved sometime this summer. There isn't a set time yet so dates are flexible. It will be going from Lincoln, Nebraska to Ridgefield, Washington, about 1,600...

I'll have to see what my local dealer has to say about my Cat. At least in regards to parts, I already tried going to them once for a waterpump seal for this thing and they wanted $90... I ended up siliconing it after finding out that Cat was literally the only place that could get a seal that...

The SN is 7J8162SP. On the injection pump it says 7B1C40 and 19P4317 (I think both of those are only relevant to the injection pump). Between the transmission and the cable drums, a LeTourneau tag has "Power-" something and N11303 T4B- and fades out. On the front of the overhead cable frame...

I love this information and it would be great if you guys keep posting it! However, does anyone have suggestions or information relevant to the paint please? It's sounding like a military cable blade is a big deal... Are they really that rare? It's even the manual angle blade and it comes with...

Here are a few pictures from after I got it going for the first time in over 10 years. I've done some cleaning on it since then. Here's one of where it sat. And here's the lettering I found too! Also, anyone know where to post to try and find the history on this machine?

Hello folks! Long time no see... Well, I recently picked up a 1942 Caterpillar D4 7J and I found out that it's apparently an old military unit. Underneath its numerous shades of yellow, it has fire red, and of course, olive drab (its SN is also indicative of possible military use). I had been...

And again if any of you guys are interested. 1-28-16: http://electronics.woot.com/offers/pyle-in-dash-bluetooth-digital-receiver?ref=el_cnt_wp_19_34

As of 11-25-15 here it is again! http://electronics.woot.com/offers/in-dash-digital-receiver-with-usb-sd-1?ref=el_cnt_wp_11_44 Hope you guys enjoy and happy holidays! Edit: Would a mod mind helping me? I can't seem to edit my original post to say it's on again and point to this post. Thanks!

Steelandcanvas: You have to use my most recent link, all others are dead as I have indicated. They're not sold out (yet) thankfully. Nice installation MtnSnow. You have a nice truck going there too.

And here it is again! http://electronics.woot.com/offers/in-dash-digital-receiver-with-usb-sd?ref=cnt_wp_5_10 May as well make it known if they're going for so cheap. I cannot vouch for the quality of course but VPed (above) seems to be doing fine with it. Is there anyone else that has installed...
