I recently saw a detroit 2-53 power unit for sale in the paper. I'm assuming this is a 2 cyl 2 cycle. I have an f-12 tractor with no engine I thought this would be a cool combo. my question is how big are these, how much hp?, are parts readily available, What's a good price? this one was sold. does anyone have good running one with a clutch they'd like to sell? thanks for any input.

I have one on a generator set that the ID tag claims will make 43 HP at 1800 RPM. I believe the redline for them is nearer 2500 so it will probably make a little more than 43. It is rusted up so bad I had to drill and tap holes in the tops of the pistons to pull them out. I'm slowly gathering parts and reassembling it, hope to have it running again in a few months.

I just bought a 2-53 Detroit which the military must have used because of the OD green it is painted. I think it is missing some parts and am looking for a book or pitures of such an engine.
