Elwinil:
Detroits, properly built by a competent mechanic, will not leak oil. We have three (8V-71, 8V-92, 6V-53) that do not. They are an excellent engine, much misunderstood. I would choose them over others most every time. Power and torque curves are much better. No head gaskets to blow...
Eric:
What power units are in this crane? I have a 6V-53 Detroit with an Allison automatic mounted on a frame as a self-contained unit with a large gear box behind it. The Allison has four forward gears and two reverse. We have been told it came off a crane or winch of some kind.
Thanks Marti
