bullhusk Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Hello I stumbled opon murphy diesel engines while looking at some old draglines and was wondering if anyone knew more about them I found a website but it didnt give alot of info on themheres the website murphydiesel.comA very good (Irish diesel) North West used em in a lot of there crane's. They were a low RPM engine 900 to maybe 1000? We had them at Colonial S&S, they started in the winter (comp. release) no matter how cold and they ran for ever! Gerhard's in Lititz PA I think could help you with more info on these motorsBULLHUSK Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29705-murphy-diesel/#findComment-160875 Share on other sites More sharing options...
