[@keithode1737]

Nothing better than a 20-645E3. Thanks for taking care of these wonderful machines for the next generation to enjoy. You're a hero!

Keith Ode Thank you. I take pride in rebuilding this baby's. As we speak I'm putting a oil mainifold on. V12 567-c. It was built in 1954

My father worked at the EMD plant in LaGrange when I was young. We used to go to family open house there all the time. It was awesome to see the massive factory up close.

My tug has a 12v567, I just love sound of them running! Beautiful piece of machinery, nice video.

Had a pair of these in a boat I worked on years ago rated at 7,200 hp at 900 rpm and capable of 8,400 hp..These are Beast,s...

I don't care what anyone says in complaints to the 20 cylinders snapping crankshafts, this is one of the nicest EMD 645s, in both sound and power, ever built, in my opinion

[@TheSilverShadow17]

The 710 series V20 didn't have that crankshaft problem lol
