Need help in finding a G159 engine block

[mtclimber51]

In need help in sourcing an engine block for a recently purchased backhoe. Based on my research it is a 1963 Case W-3 TLB with a G159 engine. The numbers off the engine block are CWC K90 284T04006. Inside the head G2088 is stamped.
The engine threw a rod and puncture the block and the oil passage. I have been looking for a block, but I have not been successful. I have also tried to weld the block and that failed as well...cannot weld cast iron with what I have.

This is my first backhoe, I purchased it for a project, and I hope to get it running. I found the connecting rod to replace the one that broke. Looks like rebuilt kits are available, but it appears that the blocks are hard to come by. Does anyone know where I can get the block welded?

I recently found a 1965 Case 530 with a diesel engine, and I am looking for assistance in compatibility between the tractors. The engines are not but what about the rest of the tractor's components. Are the transmission, rams and other components compatible?
From what I was able to obtain, the 530 diesel has DA30 8201380 under the water temp gauge and on another plate 22 4071169.

I appreciate any input on this.

Thanks,
Mihai

You could use Belzona this has been used even at a Caterpillar dealership that I worked at 20 years ago its expensive about $350 but it works

Hi Jon R.
Thank you for your response. I have not heard of this. It looks like there are several series. Will any work? Do you know if it can hold oil pressure?
The oil passage is also affected?

Thanks

If you get a good job fixing the hole the oil drilling is close enough to the end of the block that you could make a sleeve to drive in the passage to cover the hole. I have used this several times to repair broken oil passages. Just make sure the sleeve is not covering any holes that need oil, there should be a Allen head plug to access the front of the galley.

Yes , With good preparation , I just repaired an automatic transmission case for my for ford pick up and it runs well I have done many engine blocks with it and even a inlet port and mounting flange on an old Carburetor especially any pitted or cavitated liner bores. you have to work fast, so you may want to do a little at one time . you must get all oil out of the pores of the metal . I use denatured alcohol for this as well as for clean up, but occasionally use Ether starting fluid and if the metal still doesn't look dry I may heat up with a torch till all oil is out of the pores of the base metal. I know Belzona has many products . but I have only used Belzona 1111

Thank you for the additional information. Sounds like a good product to use. I will look into this further and see what I need to do to get that tractor fixed.

Thanks,

Anybody knows if a G159B block with a casting number A206 is compatible with what I have?
Thanks,

To fix that oil gallery, you take the plug out of the end , and bore it to accept a piece of steel tubing. Go about an inch past the injury and loc-tite it in there. Just did a GD 188 like that.
