Engine manufacturer for M151A2
Facebook is good for something other than finding old high school chums and trading silly memes. It has been quite practical for contacting some special interest groups. One fellow posted an illustrated parts manual that seems to answer lots of questions.
It seems the engine in the M151A2 was made by White, as a Hercules G1600. And Caterpillar relabelled it as a 1404 for installation in small machines and forklifts.

They were good engines....much longer life than the M38A1 engines, but man they were uneven. The vibrations from the engine would cause the mirrors to shake so bad you couldn't see out them.
LETE actually did a project to install one of these engines into the M38A1. Adapters were made, the engine installed and tested, then everything packed up into a crate and into the warehouse. |

The parts manual is TM 9-2320-218-20P . A quick google of that number leads to several places where the manual can be downloaded.
Unless Terry is talking about a different manual.... |

Here's one on identification
https://www.foleyengines.com/tech-ti...-pZviTcXMGInik and this is the illustrated parts manual. https://www.wincogen.com/wp-content/...chFwllw3g8QH2A One thing that interests me (as a matter of pure engineering interoperability) is this engine has both gasoline and natural gas variants. Although I don't plan to lug around a big blue tank for fuel especially in cold Canada, it is intriguing nonetheless.

Charlie, don’t overpay. M151 engines are a dime a dozen, especially in the US
