D318 Power unit

Year built is 1948.
Plenty of range with the D318...anywhere from 1000 to 1800 rpm is good.
Sorry, don't have the curves.....well, sort of....have access to the "bruce oz" stuff but it is not legible.

Here is Bruce's info

If you can read that then I know I need new glasses. LOL

if you save them and view them in another format they are legiable, but not very good.

Try Adobe Photoshop, mine is Elements 5.0 version

Hi Team,
hope these are better.
Cheers,
Eddie B.

Thanks edb, that I can read......

Thank you for the info. I am more excited than ever to get this thing belted to the saw... I am supposed to pick the thing up this Friday.
What I read from these hp/torque curves is that Cat did not dino test these motors, but had their designers who used God-knows-what critical parameters to calculate allowable load hp/torques. I would be willing to bet that a dino test of this motor would much yield much higher hp than the name plate.
Should I go to ebay for the service manuals? Happy tracks.
