  • I drive one of these to work. Noone wants to ride with me when I go to lunch.

  • The Atlas Diesel in the Cat Sixty does 600 RPM, and was a very good marine diesel that can burn low grade oil, such as the "bunker oil" that is commonly used in low RPM ships engines today. The first Caterpillar Diesel (the D9900) was about 2/3rds the weight of the Atlas diesel and ran at 700 RPM. The Cat injected diesel fuel at 1250 psi, whereas the "oil engines" of that time, injected fuel at 3 times that pressure.

  • NOT EVEN WORKING HER! nice sixty

  • deutz engine's used bosh injection also!(an stil does on my diesel!(deutz 428)

  • Interestingly, the first Cat D9900 Diesel engines used Bosch fuel injection, until Cat had refined their fuel injection pump design, several months later. Each new D9900 engine, or Diesel Cat 60, came with a number of new fuel injection spares, such as injectors. This was because of the concern by Cat of the reliability of the very new injection equipment - and the additional concern that maintainance would be poor - and that the diesel fuels used, would be even poorer.

  • now i understand! its the type of feul! semy diesel....

    thanks for your answer!y own a tug with a deutz 428 250 hp diesel 500 rpm max!

  • It is a 60 HP Atlas Imperial diesel, used in stationary and marine applications. These were more correctly known as 'oil engines' that ran on the diesel principle - as diesel, as we know it, nowadays - was not a specific, precisely refined fuel, in the late 1920's. It was not until 1931 that precise specifications for diesel fuel were produced. Prior to that date, diesel fuel could be any heavy oil that was left over from refining gasoline and lubricating oil.
