    LDS-465-A1 Rebuild Tag

    I was looking at the M543's engine tag. It has a rebuild tag stamped rebuilt by MMD,92/2/7. There is no manufacturers name on the engine tag. Is the manufacturers name cast anywhere on the motor? And what/where is MMD? THanks, James G.

    Valve Question

    RE: compression Someone on the forum earlier called it a MEP 13, I don't know if this is right or not? It has a Wisconsin-Robin 6 hp single cylinder diesel motor running a 3.1KW generator. The red cap covers a tube used to add fuel to prime the engine. Any help is appreciated. James G.
