    The cool thing about industrial equipment the engines all use an S.A.E. bell-housing, numbered 1.2 ans 3's which makes swapping in off brand engines a snap as long as the horse power is the same as the one being replaced.

    Your crane more than likely has a Detroit diesel, these engines are easy to find cheap, easy to work on with reasonably priced overhaul kits.



    Here's a rebuild kit fort he 453 series Detroit engine, pistons, liners, gaskets and a full bearing set for under $1000.00

    471 non turbo full kit $699.00
    DETROIT 4-71E NON TURBO 4 CYL ENGINE PARTS KIT(CJ211) | eBay
