Go get it! RD6/D6 2H series built from 1935 when it replaced the Diesel 40 until 1940/41 when it was replaced by the R series D6's with the D4600 6 cylinder engine.

the 2H series had the D6600 engine 3 cylinder 5-3/4" bore x 8" stroke with about 50 hp.

there were 5 built as 5E8501- with a 5 1/4" bore engine before the 2H series.

RD6 became the D6 sometime in 1937, basically with a name change only.

D2-5J's, D6-9U's, D318 and D333 power units, 12E-99E grader, 922B & 944A wheel loaders, D330C generator set, DW20 water tanker and a bunch of Jersey cows to take care of in my spare time:D
