There should be a data tag on the unit somewhere. It may have, at least, a machine serial number, which you should be able to derive the engine type from that. If there is no tag, check for a stamping in the frame around the right front wheel/frame rail. I'm not 100% sure on the older 3C models, but on certain machines they did stamp the machine serial number in the frame.
I do know that VERY early backhoes used Leyland engines, but most are Perkins. It's just finding out what series from there. Good luck.

I have a 3D111, also known as a 3DMK3 with a Leyland engine from about 1979. Engine is in really good shape. Bearings and rings are within factory specs. Dirtmaster

I have a 3CIII. My service manual shows that there are 2 engines for this machine. One is a 4/98, which is what i have in mine, the other is a 38TD. These are both Leyland engines. Like JCBiron said, you should be able to tell from the serial number. 
Dirtmaster, I don't think I need a complete engine, right now just the water pump. But depending on the price if it's right it wouldn't hurt for me to have a spare.
ijoker, can you tell if they use the same water pump.

Nope. Can't say for sure. There are a lot of similarities in the 2 engines. It looks like they might take the same water pump.:beatsme If you need a new one you will find out when you tell your parts dealer what size engine you have.

No just been very busy. Father in law passed in early Jul and with farm stuff I got behind and am now just getting caught up. My TLB is setting at his place as I did some work for him about 2 weeks before he passed. That's when the water pump went. Now when cold it has a knock and the oil pressure isn't good. I'm going to need it this winter as it's my backup for snow and feeding.
