That crankshaft welded to an old semi steel wheel that came loose and wallered the holes out would make a great mailbox stand for a mechanic my middle daughter is a diesel mechanic she took the crank from a 68 D7G and the flywheel poured a 4 ft deep hole 36 inches in diameter to bolt the flywheel to then my son in his fabrication/welding shop built a mailbox that looked like an old dozer with the blade away from the road the winch is the handle to the door he painted it Cat yellow and my youngest daughter does alot of craft stuff from a picture she painted the Cat logos on it chromed the stack and cylinder rams it turned out pretty slick nobody can steal it like the 379 Peterbuilt she ordered and had bolted to a wood post and my dad's IH combine and if anyone tries running it over they better have a tank because it took my mini-excavator to get it sat on the pad and bolted down then she had me weld 2 of the nuts on dad's new mailbox stand is an old corn sheller bolted to a 6 inch slab of concrete my son built him an old mounted 2 row New Idea corn picker on a Farmall M with a wagon that's the mailbox the wagon is welded to the tray you set the corn on and a frame comes off that to hold the tractor my daughter painted it too I'm getting an old barn made for grandpa's old cream separator and can put flowers on the big stainless steel bowl my son and daughter are thinking about doing custom mailboxes to sell he'll build em she'll paint em and people can bring in what they want them mounted to or he can make brackets to bolt to a 4x4 post

Either way the rebuild must have been outrageous wouldn’t surprised to see a certified or trained mechanic add to the farm if one became available to help Andy do more mechanic worked.

I had some bad luck w those engines. I use to own a logging/chipping company and had a feller buncher w the 6068 and went thru 3 engines in 2 years. Rebuilt it first time and didn’t last 6 months. Got a reman from JD and that joker blew a week after warranty went out. JD was good to me though and still paid half on a new reman. Those are good engines, but if you overheat em, seems like it kills it. Cummins was my favorite engine bc seemed like they were bulletproof

I see a lot of value in the fuel system parts. That and that cylinder head probably gonna be your best bet for recuperating some of the $ 3000 for the core charge on the engine itself.

Andy, you should have been the first one into the oil pan on that one because of a curious thread I witnessed in a John Deere forum that blew me away. A poster asked if anyone else found a connecting rod cap bolt loose in the oil pan and the number of yes I did would make a man swear off of sex. Some retorqued and moved on with life and some did an overhaul. But it appears that they commonly back out on their own and that exact evidence is all gone now.

At 16000 hours you've had your moneys worth out of it anyway . Years ago the motor shop guys I used before they retired told me those JD offset connecting rods are bad for going oval on the rod bearing ends and needing re machining when doing those motors. Maybe thats what started happening to those before the failure. If you got 6 or more weirdo's with a piston and rod fetish want to fight over them, and pay you for the experience take their money L.O.L. Even if you donate the money to charity or buy the guys a couple boxes of beer during the year. Something good would still come out of it on top of what you're going to keep and use again. Thanks for the update take care.
