[QUOTE="mrfixer, post: 130406, member: 23736"] I acquired an old Melroe M-440x with an Onan CCK-MS engine, which I was hoping to rebuild and bring back to service. Upon opening up the valve covers and taking off the heads, I discovered that the engine was completely rusted out inside, which all but destroyed my hopes of rebuilding it. I'm now in the process of removing the old engine from the bobcat to salvage some of the pieces I'll need. Once it's out of the unit, I'll make the final decision - I want to see what's inside the crank case. It probably won't be great. I realize the repower options for these bobcats are vast, so hoping to avoid an explosion of complexity in the discussion that follows, but I'd like to ask about an engine that I just came across as a possible candidate - I'm hoping that members here can give me the good and the bad for that specific model first and we'll go from there. The engine I came across is: Onan BF-MS/2666C - I believe this is a 16hp motor that appears to be in good running order. I believe it has more than the original Onan CCK (12hp?!). Not sure what the operating rpms are on it or if it would be a good fit. It is available locally for a good price and it seems that it 'might' be a fit. Attaching some pics of what I found inside the cylinder heads below. [/QUOTE]
