You can always beg for donations here. We have a NG member who can give
you some tips on doing so. ;-)



You are an asshole.

Why thank you Jim.

Now what was it that you recently said about name calling? Eh?


JimH, your post was in poor taste and not necessary. The other Jim calls
'em as he sees 'em.

The funny thing is that Richard has not called out Jim of Florida for the
past posts he made here that were inflammatory, argumentative, insulting and
contained personal attacks.

Having said that, I now look forward to a level playing field here.




Or Loogy, or Herring, or Salty, or any of the others who show up here
only to drop a turd or two.

i just talked to a friend fo mine in the diesel refit business. now
this is automotive form, but a brand new (non-reman) 5.9 Cummins for
the Dodge PU's are about $5500.00 USD.

So I'd say that even if something drastic would happen, for the engine
itself, I'd say that $8000, in marine form would be about right. Of
course, labor not included.
I'd love to see that sort of price on a new Cummins 5.9 TD for marine use.
I would think it closer to somewhere between $15,000 and $20,000.
I doubt you can buy a 90 hp outboard for $8000 these days.

From talking to Bob Smith at American Diesel, it all depends on what you
buy. *If you want a completely new engine, including all the bolt-ons, you
pay a high price. * If you buy a short or long block and re-use the
bolt-ons, the price is considerably less.

That's what I was talking about. Engine w/o bolt/ons.


It's ok though. * Tim's gonna contribute to the cost in the event of a
thrown rod or something ..... * *:-)

i got a quarter for you to call someone who cares.......

LOL!


BTW, further icing on the cake. This same engine series is used in
lots of farm machinery. Case/IH, actually Case Tractor Company started
using this engine back in the mid 80's in their 2590 series tractors.
And yes, it's not unusual to get 6- 8000 hrs of rough, dirty field
work out of one before needing a "major". Oh BTW, the Cummins engine
in question really isn't a "Cummins", It was developed by
"Consoledated Diesel" which is the joint development susidary of
Cummins, and Case.

You know, it's the old chicken and the egg routine. What came first?
You two clowns are just as guilty of inflammatory, argumentative, and
insulting personal attacks as anyone.

As for Jim of Florida, he's his own man and is entitled to do what he wants.
I know him well, he's a good friend and is honest as the day is long. That
honesty may offend, but I am loyal to good friends, warts and all.

I don't have a lot of respect for people that take cheap shots at others due
to or regarding personal or family misfortunes for which they have no
control.

Just for the record.

It's a good engine, but the Czechoslovakian engines used in McCormick
and Zetor tractors beat the snot out of that Consolidated engine.

You guys out there seeing any of the new Zetor or McCormick tractors?

Nice machines.

Why "Hmmmm"?

As you pointed out, I don't (to use JimH's phrase) "call out" "Loogy, or

I figure people can post what they want ... make a jerk of themselves if
they want .... it's up to them.

But, I *do* occasionally react to blows clearly below the belt or in really
poor taste. That's my right and it's non-negotiable.

the other people here that I like and respect. To Harry and the rest of the
sewer dwellers, K.M.A.
