Does anyone know what the basic differences are between all the different
models of deuce and five ton engines? Are there other models than the ones I
listed here? Maybe someone who is knowledgeable could write an article about
them for one of the magazines? I can't be the only one who has been confused
by all the different model #'s.

LDT-465-1D

Thanks,
