Yes Thats where the shutoff cable device would have been mounted. It does appear that it has been replaced with an electric shutoff.
Dont run it on anything other than diesel. The "multi-fuel" capability was a pie-in-the-sky dream of the atomic age that was troublesome in practice and commonly...
I would go with the M809 series 1970-1982. They have a Cummins engine (240 H.P.).
The multifuel (175 H.P.) is not the coolness you would assume. Most have had the multifuel compensator bypassed as they are kind of a liability for many reasons.
The M39 series, 1951-1965 (M54) are also old and...

I had this recently and the only other symptom was that the four ways just stayed on no flash.
Turned out one rear flasher bulb was bad. One of the...
I had the OEM hoses for the acme. All new except of #1 and #8 were used as I needed to harvest the rear GM(?) style blocks to attach the new fabbed hoses to the evaporator bulkhead and the frame hard line. The harvested block also contained the low pressure switch

Just digging into a new to me non runner
Has the LDS-465-1A multi fuel engine.
I spent the long weekend downloading ALL the TMs and going through them looking for the wiring diagrams.
I only found one and that was for the early gasser which doesnt match.
Mine seems to be a later 60s perhaps...
