I have not tried this swap in a K4, after I developed the above mentioned fix ( the small Pittman in the stock Kline chassis ) I further developed a full MTH chassis swap for both the Kline Hudson & the K4, …..the only reason I think I got away with the small Pittman in the Hudson was the flywheel was able to clear the shell because it sits up and in the sand dome which is hollow on the Hudson’s shell,….I do not know where that will land on the K4, ……if you plan on leaving the stock Kline’s electronics alone, and your model is not Kline Cruise equipped, then a flywheel is not 100% necessary, and a 8000 series Pittman should clear,……for comparison, the 8000 series Pittman I used in the above mod was just about the same length with out a flywheel on it, as the stock Mubachi is WITH the flywheel on it,…..therefore, if you remove the smoke box door ( boiler front ) you can gauge by looking into the boiler where the motor lives in your K4 ……all clear as mud right??…..😁
