The crank for Caterpillar 977 number one is TOAST. This is a low buck, budget project. Can we find a good crank for cheap, or even free?

  • Never has a Chinesium engine stand worked so hard for its supper. I'd like to think that the old, American-made Cat engine has some feelings about the funny little offshore engine stand it's sitting on, but I doubt it's in much of a position to complain

  • If it was overhauled using cat parts the pistons should have an "ORxxxx" number, thats cat reman parts. The back side of the bearing shells should say STD, and have a date on them, date of the machine=original.. The crank is probably inside the re-useabilty specs as they are harder than a wedding pri*k. Fyi when it comes to the crank, mother cat only offers bearings in +.025 and +.050. So you have to turn the cranks twenty five under..
