    Almost as much power as a 6V71. Almost as reliable as a 6 volt starting system on a 8N Ford in rainy season. Only reason the military used them is lowest bidder.

    We bought one and put it in a water truck. One was enough.
    That was probably thirty years ago and our mechanic still goes into a rant every time somebody mentions that piece of crap.

    Ole Roscoe Wagner in Double Drip Idaho ran truck and trailers for years hauling cattle. He was also a Wilson dealer. Cabover semis and cabover truck and trailer, all with Detroits as I recall. Wagner trucking might still be going for all I know, but I haven't sen any for a long time.

    See one once in a while around Twin— they started winding down when Ol Bruce (shop foreman) and a couple of their senior drivers died 6-7 years ago—went past their trailer shop a couple days ago and it’s a ghost town
