The rings and some other parts are no longer made by Deutz, but another aftermarket company makes them in Germany. Theres a company in Texas called Memo that handle all after market Deutz parts. And Deutz in Colonge Germany uses these after market part to stock there orders for 513 engines. Cost me about $600 for new jug and piston and rings from Texas.Reringed the other 3 cyl.

Hi; I'm the owner of the Diamond Reo log truck. Osterland made in Harrisburg, PA. They started using the Deutz engines in 1985 dont know when last ones where built? Mines made in 11/1986 I'm the second owner it was a block truck before. 3 year ago had right hand cyls. off, #3 was seizing. Some companies put Cummins L-10 in to replace the Deutz. The original selling point was no coolant problems and 10% better fuel mileage. I get about 6 mpg on the road. And never a antifreeze leak! But at 315 hp an 863 ft.pound of torque with a 8 spd and 6.17 rears it's not a go getter!

nice looking reo, though i thought diamond reo giants made by osterland ended in 1992? here's my 1987 reo giant with deutz engine i still haul logs with.no big powerhouse but gets the job done. on you truck a man in duncannon,pa. has the molds to make your style of hood.
