Hello Gazeo,
can you tell me how many of these were made and what the "M' stands for, I have just bought one of these and I am told they are rare but I would like to know how many were made and what engines were put in them. I am told this one I bought had a hallscott in it.
thanks KC

thats what i heard too
but over all i still have to pick a cat over any engine i gotta have a 1693 cat or a 425 cat

Are these any louder then 3406s with straight pipes?
-
engine sounds cat D 343

Took a hard look, see you're right; the extension is in the cowl so it takes a std butterfly hood. Sure wish I could see it from the saddle 'cause the view is gorgeous - a beautiful rig (though I favor 10 hole Budds).

I will take those 5 hole aluminum wheels on the steer axle!

Both are overhead-cam designs, if you are wondering. Same for Cat's 1676 V-8.

well thats what I had heard too , the man who designed the 1693, left Cat to go to JD, the 60 and the 1693 both sound too much alike,, pre cup or direct has nothing to do with that rattle, and besides that it wasn't like Detroit shit the bluprints to a Million plus mile 4 stroke engine all by theirself,,
and I have caught some flack over the previous comments I've posted about the suj,,, but I know I'm right,,,
I never said Detroit took a 1693 and painted it Alpine Green,,,
Ran a '67 long nose back in the 70s - seems like this one is std length from the looks of it, although thr 1693TA would have needed the longer nose.One bad motor though - turn up the pump and presto; 32 pounds of boost and buh-bye!
Also an extremely quiet motor under load even if they rattled real good at idle.

It's not a good angle. It is a factory long hood.
