For a power unit keep your eyes open for an old shovel or crane, they had modular power units and most have had good duty throughout their life. Also they have good governors which is very important. Frank C.

That is very good info,
Thanks bandmiller2

I can't help on the saw, but did mess with those engines some years back.
You may already know this, but those engines will start a lot easier if you turn them back over to gas and clear the diesel out of the cylinders before shutting it down for the day.
We used to have to pull start a lot of equipment when operators did not change them back over, hard to pull start a saw.
Old LT40HD, old log truck, old MM forklift, and several huskies.

I thought I would update this thread. My father in law came back and made a new video.
