I appreciate your input. Thanks
I have two step-sons who are heavy equipment diesel mechanics, once I get the missing parts they will assist (or I assist them more likely) to get the thing running.
Have looked everywhere including the library of congress and DOD service manuals and records for the parts manual and build to list for the 5038-7001 with no success. The application I will use the engine for a firewood processor, nothing special. A couple dealers sent me parts manuals that do not address the 5038-7001, and I was told there was no such designation.. took a pic of the MO/SM engravings on the block, I'm not misreading the ID. Since the configuration does not matter to me, can I assume going with the standard parts I need. Really frustrating when DD Corporate cannot help and sends you on wild goose chases...
Thanks for your consideration.
