Looking for some help on a 188d.
first off from what I understand you can exchange a 207d for a 188d? Is this correct. The 207 has a 2” hole in the block so needs to b replaced. It’s coming off of a case 580c backhoe. They appear to be very similar.
I have a 188d that I was able to get running. It’s going to need a little work still before it’s ready to install. The one piece timing belt cover was corroded so I removed the cover from the 207 and it fits perfect, but doesn’t have the part that connects to the radiator, so I’ll just have to improvise w a hose.
I’ve pulled the water pump, and am now trying to pull the housing manifold, but it does not want to come off. I’ve pulled out the bolts and nuts, including the one on the inside of the housing. It moves, and I can pull it away from the head by about 1/4”, but the base seems to be pretty wedged and I can’t completely separate it. I need to replace the gasket so it’s got to come off. I’ve even tried waking it at the bottom w a hammer, but no joy so far. Any suggestions?
