Hello;
Can anyone give me some information about a Caterpillar engine, model #M238 ??   It runs a HUGE snow blower on an "old" truck I am looking at.   Thanks!!!

I just have the info given to me by the auction company. Not actually seen it in person yet.  The truck engine is Caterpillar 1693 and the engine on back, running the HUGE snow blower says is Caterpillar M238. I have the only bid of $150 on this unit. To be sold in 2 days.....

For that era it could have a 1673 V8 or possibly a 3408, those blowers took some horses!
