Military D7E

I've been looking for a D7e high horse for a while now. I keep seeing military surplus machines for sale, but they all have the low horse style breather and exhaust stack.  Even though they will have the later model serial # indicating a high horse machine, I have never seen a military machine with the high horse breather/ exhaust. Did the military order the low horse breathers even on a high horse machines?

Don't know. If they affect clearances I would bet on it. The Army buys stuff like to speced to make for easy loading and unloading into ships.

Hi Tea,
do not know if the right hand column data in the scan below will help decision.

I assume by the term 'breather', you are referring to the air intake/air cleaner.. Maybe the military wanted the earlier style fitted to the 160hp tractors also fitted to the 180hp tractors to save on parts inventory. The later system I always felt was easier to service and had a much better dust ejector system.
