Re: Heavy Machines powered by GM diesels or Detroits
Crane wise when I started in the construction trades in May of 1980 Detroit's were in nearly every machine made .
Company had Detroit's in every American crane they had (4 53s )
Older Link Belts , 108 ,118 ,138 , 218 ,338 , 418 , 518 and 718 all sported Jimmy engines .
Both Lorain Hydraulic cranes had 6-71 in the carrier lower and a 4 cylinder in the upper crane works .
2 Pettibone rough terrain cranes had 4-53's , The 80 ton TK 160 had an 8v 71 that run both upper and lower .
