I believe my father brought this engine to the list's attention a few months ago, looks like it didn't sell and is available on Ebay again. http://cgi.ebay.aol.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1707731048 Eric.Levin@conrail.com |

The 44-tonner used two 8-cylinder D17000. The 6-cylinder version was the D13000, which did have many interchangeable parts. K4s1361@hotmail.com |

One was rebuilt not too many years ago for a Berks County, PA private owner. Cat parts are VERY expensive, especially for the older "D" series. So are Cummins parts! Trust me, I know! Been there, done that. rpsurv@nni.com |

Been there, done that. there is a half a million old style cummins motors laying around the country in as many old wore out old trucks, the old style cummins block was used in all the motors from the 180 horse to the 300 horse motor the only differance being in the pump and injectors, and the addition of a turbo on the 270's, pt 290's (pt standing for power torque) and 300's.I looked at a 44 tonner in downtown Philly that had duell 250's in it. much as i love trains, trucks have been my whole life. randyja1@aol.com |

I agree that there are many old Cummins equipped trucks out there and parts (even new) are inexpensive and easy to find but PT stands for PRESSURE TIME and refers to the design of the high pressure fuel system. I am glad that my 23 Ton GE has a Cummins HR6-BI (original HBI-600 was changed out in the mid '60s) rather than a Cat. -- when I told Cummins the serial numbers of both the original and replacement oil engines, they sent me copies of the original dynamometer reports for both engines. Cummins is a far friendlier company to deal with than Caterpillar. jjbx@twcny.rr.com |
