The information he gave me was engine was 6 cylinder Cummings 6t830 even had block casting number 3923275-1 . Googled the block or engine and came up with all kind of replies but photos show a 4 cyl block different casting number and says it fits case ih tractors like 7110 & 7120 . Are their two versions of a Cummings 6t830 engine . Like 6 cyl & 4 cyl ? [Reply]   [No Email]

I have two of them. One is turbo'd to about 140HP. One is turbo'd and intercooled to about 200HP. If I assumed the blocks were identical I would get into trouble. Little things like being drilled for piston bottom cooling, etc. can be easily missed. [Reply]  [No Email]

But the fact that it's packaged up for shipping, I sure hope whom ever is getting it knows the history of the engine. [Reply]  [No Email]

Similar outwardly to a B series, except that "hump" in the block below the filters, to make room for a longer crank. Overall length is even the same. Think it's called the C series, only made a 6 cylinder, the B series had the 4 and 6. Have a friend who sells used equipment and he says it's easier to sell a 10,000 hour Magnum (which use the 8.3) than a 2,500 hour JD. [Reply]  [No Email]
