I remember the 2100 red line area would be typical for something like a Diamond T, which ad a plate warning of engine damage if that limit was exceeded for any length of time.

Does it have a resettable warning pointer on it?

[David Perrott]

Hi Gordon , yes it does.

cheers dave

From memory, I've seen it on the Diamond T 4 ton 6 x 6, the Mack NM series, and the DUKW - not sure where the red line was on the DUKW though.

DUKW red line is 2750 RPM.

Hi Dave,

Can't help ID it, but thought you might find this site interesting regarding the numbers you posted.

The N6 is the date code, N:1945, 6:june
