Is that the super hard to find A Series Diesel?
I have never seen one, but know they exist.

Bingo!

Give that man a cigar!

This is the 948 A series diesel used in tractors.
I'm not sure if they were ever used for marine applications.....maybe.

The block has "950D" cast in it.
I don't know if the block is much stronger than a normal 948.
I would guess that it is.
 
I had no idea such a monster existed. Very cool!
 
Bryan is brilliant! I missed th' post for ~domestic reasons~ but he squared it up.
 
Wonder what it would do in a Spitfire or Spridget?

About 0-60 in a week
 
If I remember right, It was only about 14 HP or so. So 0-60 in a week would be optimistic...
 
They were also used as auxilary power units on the Centurian Tank.
