Case DC main bearings

Hi, I'm new to your forum, and this is my first post. I have an opportunity to buy a 1949 Case DC, non-running with a cracked block. I really enjoy working on old equipment, but in this case I'm trying to determine how treacherous a path I'm heading down. The cracks in the block are extensive and non-repairable involving the water jacket and oil galleries, but it appears that I can obtain an uncracked block from a couple of sources. The rod bearings are babbitt I believe, but the mains are liners. I'm not having any luck locating new liners. What options? Can the crank mains and caps be babbitted instead of using liners? I suppose I could even pour and/or machine my own liners assuming that they are just babbitt? What have others done in this situation?

Thanks!
 
Good afternoon and welcome. The DC is a real workhorse and many parts are still available. If you post this on the Case forum you will get a
great response. There are a lot of very knowledgeable people on that forum and they are very friendly. Some people on that forum sell Case
parts and are a great resource.
Good Luck with the project
 
Paul's Rod & Bearing in Parkville Mo. does a great job of Babbitt , repour inserts or rods. The Dc bearings you repour the old shells, install in block with shim pack and align bore. Is correct way to do the CC,DC,LA Case. Ph # is 816-587-4747
 
Earl, apologies for the late reply. Have been dealing with other issues at home, and had to lay this aside. Of course, thanks much for the information. When things settle down I will follow up with that, and also an outfit I found in Spokane, Washington.
