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 Share on other sites More sharing options...

41chevy Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 There is a Murphy Diesel specialty shop in Florida I sold 2 ME engines to them a few years ago that powered irrigation pumps.
