Hmmm... title says it's an 8v92, but it sure sounds like a 71-series to my ears. Either way, 53, 71, 92... I was never a big fan of screamers, but they were fine for off-road applications. They were an economical choice for power plants, their only downfalls were the noise, the leaks, and the gutlessness in on-road applications. If you had one in a truck, you'd be guaranteed to be crawling slowly up big hills, and down-shifting a lot :)
it could use a good greasing we just dont use it enough. this is the first time its been used to actually lift stuff in years. it doesnt have brakes either.
Hasnt seen grease in a long time.
the sound of the beautiful 8v-71 Detroit is ruined by exhaust leaks...
I love Michigan Front end loader working hard with a Detroit Diesel engine screaming laud

Millwalkie makes a really great battery powered grease gun. Y'all need one. And learn how to use it
@CobArchEnemy406 my 70 year old grandpa just ran it 8 hrs a day for 3 days straight about a month ago lol he didnt hear very well before that either
Put some grease on the bucket pins...please!
Quite possibly a 85 or the larger 125
Is it a 175B??
Classic iron
Clean the fuel system and put some new fuel filters on thar thing, under a load it's only running on 6 cylinders.
