Mitsubishi K3G engine

I'd give Bruce Laten a call again. That's going to be a hard engine to find. He may not have one in stock but he helped me with a K3F ( probably rarer than the G model) engine a while back, it took him several months but he contacted me as soon as he got one. I think he is very reasonable on Mitsubishi engines and he generally has cheap shipping. You can also try one of the tractor salvage companies for a Cub model or Case 1130/1140. All States Ag Parts, Tractor House dismantled units or West KY Tractor Salve would all be good starts.

Just curious if you noticed when cranking it if the radiator fan would turn at all. My Case 1130 with similar hours is having a similar issue. I had it running last week to put chains on the tires for plowing before the snow storm. Then later that night I tried to start it to plow and nothing. I initially thought it was the starter so I ordered a new one. That didn't work. It will crank and I can see the fan rotate a couple turns but it won't start. I'm worried my engine is toast as well.

I dont recall specifically if the fan turned, but pretty sure it did. I found a used engine online and its being shipped right now.
Call Dennis at 931 863 4229 if you need one at a reasonable price. Tell him E.J. referred you.

Well lucky for me I got it going last night. It must have been a fuel issue. I pulled the fuel lines from the injectors and tried to crank it to see if I was getting flow. It didn't seem to be flowing so I tested some voltage in a few places, pumps etc, decided to hook the fuel lines back up and it started!
