Thx drysump, this is and the other comments regaring what would/wouldn't work were what I'm looking for. seems sticking with a CC K341/321 is a smart soln. so I'll let the green K341 go to someone else. I have plenty of work to do 'til I get to the engine, rebuild front axle, steering, all the hyrdo linkages, reseal the rerear, have the charge pump checked out........ so i'll keep looking for a CC K341 or K321.

I utilized all the QL electricals incuding the electric PTO.
I also retofitted balance gears with new hardware but still at a slow idle that big K341 rocks in the frame to where flexing can be seen, Point being, the K341 may be hard on narrow frame.
Still was a fun project to put together, and the torque is outstanding.
