Vintage Diesel and Oil Engines Fairbanks Morse, Lister, Petter, Witte and other pump injected Diesel oil engines. I would suggest taking brake clean to llocation engine block to remove dirt and grease. If you see the flat spot and no plate It might have been removed. Also you might try cross referencing the trucks serial. Thanks to AllNo Tags any place on the engine. But it had been replaced sometime back. Cat also said that the serial should be stamped on the Left side to the rear down about 10' from the top of the deck. This is where most of the rust is on the side of the block. I have steamed cleaned the engine, and it could be used to eat dinner on. Cat also said that the serial isn't stamped anyplace else that they know of? Some had tags and some didn't.

I'm going to call Cat this morning when they open and also pick their brain as well. I would suggest taking brake clean to the engine block to remove dirt and grease.
Need help identifying a Cat 3406

- Sincerest thanks for all the replies.
- All Cat engines are shipped from production painted yellow regardless if the engine is destined for earth moving equipment or on-highway truck use. I'm keeping my A and gonna do some small mods to get it to wake up a little, then just learn to live with it for about another year.
There are Caterpillar dealers in Africa, but I do not know about the parts supply. So its possible that it could be leaking oil through these cracks? Popular on-highway engines such as the 3406E and the C series engines have made Caterpillar a top choice among truck manufacturers for use in their vehicles.
