Let's confuse things more!  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Witte-AD-LD-KD-MD-Diesel-Injector-Nozzle-ADE-10S-1B-/380512560189?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item589850e43d

I think you did very well to get a CD12 for the price you paid! and it runs too! thats a real bonus.
A fellow by the name of David Johnson is my go to guy for all things Witte. wittemania@cox.net. He has Manuals and tech data for Witte diesel engines and dieselelectric gen units. He will also be your best source for parts.
Your CD engine is basicaly the same engine as the Witte B12 oilfield engine, w/2 flywheels. that being said many parts will interchange.

Yes LowGear it would be great to have an educated opinion as to what could be done with these ends. Mine is just sitting in the shop taking up space and man is it heavy! I know it has to weight twice what the ST head weights.

Thanks Shipo,
The Onan is my current emergency genset, it is pretty reliable now that I have changed out the the original potted control board with one from Flyght. The unit was originally in a Seagrave fire truck.

Well Casey when I got the Witte,  there was a old dirty E.M. 8kw 3ph end on it. I am electrically challenged so it is beyond me how to even tell if it is functional. There is a voltage control box that came with it that woud need to be wired to the generator. and it looks as though at one time there may have been a externally mounted DC exiter mounted on top and belt driven but it was not on the genset when I bought it.  I have a ST 1PH head on it for the time being.

Thanks for the kind words Veggie

Yes it is very much a union job flywheel! My problem is I live in Indiana and if they pass right to work I will need liquid assets!

You on the other hand being retired have plenty of time to sit back and watch all the dumb mistakes us young pups tend to make in haste.

Thanks for all your great advise and help Flywheel

Crude may not be acceptible!

Hey lowgear
It's going to run some kind of genhead at some point. The sump may be already be in use for something. i will have to go look but I know there is a dipstick and there is a copper line and a valve of some sort coming out of it. I will let you know

Hey thanks for the replies and info. yes the unit did come from northern IN it has been there all its life till now and it is in west cental IN near Terre Haute.
I am going to restore the engine first, then I will see what can be done with the genhead, it is not complete as there was no excitation gen with it. I did get the voltage control unit though. I'm not sure if this gen being an 8kw 208/3 phase will be usefull to me for stand-by power for my home. I'm sure some one on here can advise me on that.
I also want play with some ideas for wast heat recover with this unit.
First things first though and I need some parts ie: exhaust rocker arm, Gaskets, and at least piston rings. I have not taken the fuel system apart yet, so I'm not sure what I got to work with there yet.
This old motor looks to be pretty easy to work on and very well made, that being said are there any areas that would require special attn?

Try again!

Hello everyone just thought I would show everyone what I just hauled home. WOW what a piece of IRON!
Now the fun begins! So far  I know I'm needing an EX rocker arm, I have 2/3 of the broken one. Don't have the end with the lash adjuster.
I pulled the head and the valves and seats don't look to bad. Ex valve looks near new and guide doesn't feel worn at all. Intake valve doesn't look new but it's not bad, guide has wear but still servicable I believe I will give them a Lapping and call that good for now.
I have not pulled the piston and rod yet but all feels ok, one thing I noticed,
there is no oil slinger on the rod. I run a magnet around the crankcase sump but I found nothing with magnet. I did find some pieces of material that look like coal....bout the size of a thumb nail 1/4"-3/8" thick???
I haven't got a manual for it yet, fellow I bought the unit from said he has one and will send it soon as he finds it. I probably will not go much further with the teardown til I get one.
PLEASE advise me of any pitfalls you all can think of that I will or may encounter. Thanks
                                     PS hope I can get my pics to post!
