So I am back at this project again slowly getting it ready for a winter time rebuild. Summer was to busy for me to even think about working on the old Cat. Having a little trouble finding main bearings. Any Ideas of places to look? found rod bearings, Cylinder piston kits, connecting rods, and full gasket kit so far from AGkits.com If anyone else has any ideas of places to find a full engine overhaul kit or the remaining missing parts it would be much appreciated.

making progress on the old Cat this week, almost have the crank out. Had to by an old dump truck chassis to make a cart from a local farmer. Built some beams on it, engineered an overhead support bracket system out of some old I beams. Presto 1 Caterpillar D339 engine rebuild stand. Patent pending hahah. Lots of pressure washing left to do but I can finally see the belly pan.
