For sale is a Detroit diesel model 3-53. All pictures are taken with the engine running. Included is the engine, radiator, clutch with transmission, alternator (not tested), etc. The muffler and heavy duty cart are NOT included.
I bought it from a bankrupt company that saved it from a broken backhoe. When I tried to start it, it would overspeed due to a stuck injector that gummed up due to the motor sitting around for a long time. I stopped it without 5 seconds or so. I took the injector out and unstuck it. Now it runs great, responds to speed control, etc.
I am not an engine rebuilder and cannot guarantee much beyond the fact that it statrs, runs and stops. The radiator is full of antifreeze.
Free local pickup (casn only). Shipping will be moderately expensive due to the weight, size and DOT requirements, as well as the need to pick up at my residence.
