The above is a toolbox/battery box for a 990 implematic. A friend of mine is restoring one. The remains of one is on the tractor. A new one is E300.

If anyone here has one, would they be able to measure the dimensions of the middle bit, the lower section, that I have sectioned off with the yellow lines. Shouldn't be too hard make one

Body work and DB don't go together for some reason. They are one of the worst for rot Especially on the joins. Nothing really available secondhand either for those models.

Mechanically not a bad yoke, make sure it runs well.

Think the crankshaft was the weakest part of the engine, not sure if they only had a three bearing crank like some of the 900 series.
 
Did they ever go to 5 bearing crank?

Our 1212 was defo 3.
Not sure, we only had 3 cylinder 780 and 880s. Know of a 1212 that broke the crank, the injector pump got turned down afterwards to help prevent another break. I’d imagine when Case merged with them there had to be improvements made to the lower block area.
