149 series were rated at 1900rpm and generator versions ran at 1800rpm.  They have a 5.75" bore and stroke which isn't that much bigger then our 4.25" bore (71 series) or 4.85" bore (92 series) and 5" stroke.  I'd like a 6V-149-but they were built very heavily for industrial use.  I believe the 6V-149TA weighed in around 5,500lbs, compared to 2,450lbs for the 8V-92TA.  Good Luck, TomC

Those are pretty neat engines each cylinder has it's own pod with a separate head for each cylinder and that engine is what your Delo 100 oil was made for in the beginning the 149 is real sensitive to oil 


good luck
