Combines CAT 3208

have you talked to your local cat dealer they usually get worn out irregation engines that still run but are worn out and leak all over, might give them a try, they might have a cheap one to sell

Another place to try is your local fertilizer supplier. 3208 is a popular engine in many fertilizer applicators.

Up here in alberta you can buy a low hour tr70 for about $1500 U.S. complete and running with that cat in the back. Just saw one sell on fri for about $2200cdn.

I ask excuse, unfortunately I live in Italy and here there is not many 3208, indeed the only ones that we have are mounts to our TR 85 that have been imported from the America approximately 20 years ago. We have not never saw the Hydro version of TR 85. If someone had kit hydrostatic (2 drive wheels) (also used, but working) for 85 TR I am interested the purchase. I have 4 TR 85 and I use them for harvesting the seeds of peas, ravanelli, insalata and cicoria. This year i will try new CR 940, but I think that is not adapted to the type of job that I execute, because is too much great. Thanks, Daniele my e-mail is daniele.casanova@olidata.it

The Caterpillar 3208 engine is also used in trucks, boats and other industrial applications so you may be able to find a block by looking in those areas. Do you have Caterpillar dealers in ItalyIJ They should be able to help too. Here is link to a web search for used 3208 Caterpillar engines that may be of some help. Maybe a switch to an Iveco engine would be the best thing for you to do. That is what NH has done with their new combines.
