    Ship's engineer M54A1 crash-course.

    GSA Deuces sold in MASS and MAINE

    I'm a marine engineer, never seen any of these before, but just won a gsa bid on a 1969 M54A1. It is advertised as "starts hard but runs" now they're trying to tell me it is a multi-fuel, though I thought the A1 designation made it a Mack endt? Anyways, I get off my ship in two weeks and am...
