GM 2cycle engine

[Mo teacher]

My buddy found an AC dozer with a Gm engine. Dont know size yet. Was the engine ok and is it expensive to work on compared to a Cat. The price is right but it needs sme work on a drive part but the parts come with it. Thanks

GM two-stroke-cycle diesel is one of easiest to find parts for, new or used. I've got several. HD5 used a 2-71 (so did the original and rare HD-3), HD7 used a 3-71, HD10 used a 4-71, HD14 and HD19 used a 6-71, etc.
The Detroit Diesel is based on the first diesel engine - invented years before Rudolph Diesel's engine. A guy named Clark invented it, and GM bought the design years later.

You'' also be able to find a lot of guys knowledgeable about these engines locally and nationally, in case you end up having questions about them.
