Doomed multi-fuel engines

[wreckerman893]

It seems that I am over supplied with good running multi-fuel engines.
One is complete (to include radiator) and in a section of frame. It has a set of axles under it. I'll take 600.00 for it.
One has had the starter, alternator, turbo and fuel pump removed. 200.00 bucks
One is still in the doner deuce and has radiator, turbo, fuel pump attached. 600.00
I have tried repeatedly to sell these good running engines but no one seems to want or need them.
If no one makes a commitment to purchase one in the next day or so I am going to strip the components off and sell the blocks for scrap.
If your are interested and fairly close I can prob deliver it for fuel cost.
I hate to do this but they are taking up a lot of room and I need the coinage.

This is a shame. I hope someone picks them up. I have a similar problem with one of these HEAVY SOBs in my yard I hate to scrape, and shipping is as ever a problem.

If you do end up scrapping them though I would be interested in purchasing the oil pans and the reinforcement metal around the edges. Maybe a few other bits too if I think of them like a working alternator with brackets. Do you by anychance have the small bracket that the horn mounts to?

Man Wrecker right now just not a good time dang! such a waste. Hard times falling on us.

Wished I had more Jack. I just bought a can motor from Jim Henderson. Hey Wreck, how far off is Jims place from you?

Darn it all to hell! What a waste! Shipping is an issue. I live in Michigan and I have a lovely little sawmill that could use that wonderfull engine. Flippin' shipping though....
How soon do you need to off the complete engine? How many hours on it? maybe I can find a way to get it. Let me check with my better half..
Think it is possible to reconfigure the injection pump to run at a constant speed like a gen set?

for those who are only strapped by shipping is their a possibility to daisy chain things to new locations with a bunch of guys who like to help each other.

Hard times in deed, I could use the 200.00 dollar one as a spare but same as everyone else, no cash flow.

I've got a friend who wants to convert a gasser to a multi... shipping is the issue as her truck is in Raleigh, NC...

Now there's a good idea! I'd be game to be part of the "chain".

Same here, don't have a lot of storage room, but I can put an engine on a pallet and cover it up for a while.

 

[Streetgliderx]

well i am in north west alabama and i would probably haver use for them if i would get off my lazy tail and get a deuce..... i just been so busy working i can't seem to find the time to go out and shop for one!!

For anyone that lives near MI, I will be driving my deuce down to the GA rally and could prolly drive back a few engines in the bed for fuel costs.

 

[ackcarus]

I'd be interested in one, but have no way to get it here?

Ok, My Deuce is up in Virginia right now. It'll be coming back down to Georiga eventually, some time in June hopefully. IF you can get a can to the deuce or I can easily get to a meeting point, I can get the Can to Wrecker man to get an engine in a can and sealed up, store it for a time and then bring it up to the Mid Atlantic area next year since I'll be going back up for more WWII events.

Let me know.

I have lots of storage space....near I-77 and I-81 in Southwestern VA.

next time I'm in atl I could bring it back to SC.

This is sad. It a date not too far off, the multifuel watering hole will be fished out and we will be searching for these engines high and low. Have you noticed that the can motors are al but dried up? So many folks scrapped them and the cans that you can't even find a can. Scrap price is good but it's killing the hobby slow and painfully. I'd love to get one of these and find an extra can but just like everyone else, I'm strapped for money and fuel.
