Replacing Your Cummins B Series Engine
The Cummins B Series engine was developed by Cummins for use in a variety of industrial applications such as aircraft tugs, wood chippers, drill rigs, material handling equipment, etc. The B Series engine was developed as an American alternative to Perkins, Deutz and other industrial engines in the 70-150 HP range. Unlike those industrial engines however, the Cummins B Series does not have replaceable sleeves or liners. As a result, when it is time for an overhaul the cylinder block bores must be machined to a larger oversize and new pistons fitted. This can not be done without stripping the engine down to the bare block. Unfortunately, because of this, the B Series engine can’t be rebuilt in the field and has by some be unfairly labeled a “throw-away engine.”
To help Cummins B Series owners minimize downtime we developed a replacement engine program for these engines. We can provide 4 and 6 cylinder, B Series, turbo and non-turbo charged, rebuilt replacement engines. These engines come as complete base engines, valve cover through the oil pan, plus a water pump and oil cooler. The Cummins B Series owner then reinstalls their fuel system, electrical components and turbo and is back up and running.
How to identify your B Series. Provide us with the Cummins CPL number, serial number and the type of equipment your engine is in when you call. If you don’t have or can’t locate your CPL, we will want to know the number from your injection pump, the size of the hole on the back of the B Series front gear cover (over a 4″ or less than 4″), if your engine is turbo charged or not, and the piston number. With this information, we will able to ship you the right replacement for you Cummins B Series engine.
