    Look for Perkins parts suppliers instead, then you'll find lost of them and the only difference is the yellow layer of paint. We rarely buy parts through cat for these, it is faster and cheaper to go to the Perkins dealer in town since they are the biggest in the country and have almost everything in stock. Most Perkins places can get you the right parts if you provide the full engine serial and type designation.

    Perkins dealers told me I have to go trough the Cat dealer for parts for the 3054 eventhough perkins build them.

    weird, we never have any problems, what's the serial prefix on it?

    I got lucky,i found a complete identical parts engine close by,it aparently seized a piston when it dropped a valve. hopefully it's got all the parts i need.The guy wants $250 for it. The balancer alone is $2200 at the dealer.
