dave1905 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 There's nothing wrong with the pilot sheet, all the MU hoses are there, it just doesn't have a box at the bottom for the air hoses or a snow plow. The oval holes are just lift rings. Not real common, but I've seen other engines with them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Dave, Hole-in-1! :-) (Note the same ovaloid holes in the pilot, deliberately painted in white to mark their position. Given the angle they are on, looks like they are engineered to handle being lifted by a crane with a span-bar...)

JWB Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 It wouldn't surprise me if the holes were added during 663's Detroit Edison days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
