Waukesha 4BU3

[blacktinlizzie]

I have an engine that I picked up at a swap meet last fall. I have a Pettibone fork lift with a ICK engine and was hoping this engine would supply parts. The swap engine is a 4 cyl flat head model 4BU3 I was told that this engine powered an ac unit on a 1950's GMC coach. I can find no listing for this engine in my Waukesha General instruction book any info would be helpfull thank you Bill

Do you have any casting numbers?

[blacktinlizzie]

I did not get casting numbers but tag reads 4BU 4BU3 1695 540 If it will help I will dig the engine out and look for more numbers Bill

[blacktinlizzie]
