Think that was from a truck with a 6V-53, they were 2 stroke engines and they sucked. If they didn't have an oil puddle under them they were out of oil. They sound would give you a head ache. The newer DD's are pretty good but I'll take a big Cat any day. The engine stop cable was to close a flap over the blower inlet to shut them down when the governor took a dump and they would run away can you say hand grenade.
