Unidentifiable Engine

[Coltman15]

Hello all,

I recently was digging through a building piled to the ceiling with stuff, buried underneath was this engine is a crate. I’ve tried to do some research but no success, what is it? NSN number on the crate is 2815-00-932-4727. What does this thing go to?

Says right there, engine rough terrain 6000 lb fork lift. Lots of those in use.

It is made by General Motors Diesel ( as it says on the valve cover). It appears to be a 2 stroke 4-53 engine. I tried both NSN's but no joy. Small engines like this could be used in water pumps, generators, even small vehicles. What it was used for specifically, I don't know.

Could it be used in the gamma goat?

Could it be used in the gamma goat?

No, Goat is 3-53, that is 4-53. More marketable for the forklift anyway.

I know this is a old thread but.....The gamma goat 3-53 has an aluminum block.
