j hancock Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 A local dirt contractor had DR dump with Deutz and he must have run it for 25 years or so. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Maxidyne Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 One of the benefits of the individual heads and cylinders is that you can rebuild an engine one cylinder at a time- That way replacing one bad piston or valve doesn't require a full teardown, and a machine that's needed every day can be rebuilt one cylinder at a time on the night shift.

It is the only truck I have ever seen with that engine Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/63107-diamond-reo-with-a-deutz/#findComment-454548 Share on other sites More sharing options...
