Hi all. As my headline indicates, I have purchased a CAT MTL for $500 bucks (I know right?!?!). What is the catch you say......at some point in its previous life it decided to have enough of its current task and threw a rod, puncturing the block. The gent I bought the unit from is aware of how hard it is to find these blocks and simply bought a new machine. I didn't even think about telling my wife that I just dropped $500 bucks that will short our vacation, but meh. Now I have this awesome paperweight of a MTL (and a miffed wife) with a quagmire of finding a block. CAT has them for a hefty sum, and I have NO idea the extent of the damage on the rotating assembly or head.....so it is a poop shoot.
My question here is a long shot - but does anyone in the thread have a line on a good used block that they would be willing to sell? If not, I feel that I got a pretty screaming deal anyways, but throwing it out there in an attempt to get this lawn ornament running.
Thanks!
