That’s often the case, mainly to get longer life/service intervals out of them. Yeah, the engine would be nice by itself, although it could be something odd you might have issues with sourcing parts for, however. Military contract stuff is often very unique, making the use of it in the private sector difficult when it comes to parts and service. -D > On Apr 2, 2021, at 11:55 AM, Curt Raymond via Mercedes > wrote: > > I was thinking that military stuff is usually de-rated.

I was thinking that military stuff is usually de-rated. There were some military 4cyl engines available that were rated for something like 6hp that a bunch of guys were swapping in maybe 10 years ago. IIRC they were easy to get up to 10-12hp or more. -Curt On Friday, April 2, 2021, 11:47:38 AM EDT, Mitch Haley via Mercedes wrote: On 2021-04-02 11:39, Curt Raymond via Mercedes wrote: > For half the price it'd be worth grabbing the engine. 6hp?

Requesting offers of cash in the ad is a good way to guarantee the offers will be below asking price. Sounds like he's waiting for the first guy to come along and offer him 4-5 Benjis for it. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

For half the price it'd be worth grabbing the engine. -Curt On Friday, April 2, 2021, 11:37:34 AM EDT, Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: Single cylinder diesel, can’t tell the manufacturer.
