Don't have any idea of the value but I seem to remember back 50 yrs or so that they may have been also made in the USA by Wisconsin under license.

Would need the model number to find out exactly what it is. I know they built marine engines into the 90's or later. Lot of canal boats in Europe run them.

It might not be popular as a marine engine anymore in the USA, but someone wanting to build/ repower diesel power equipment ( garden tractor, ect.. ) would probably pay $500 or so

Doubt anyone would pay $500 for a motor with near zero parts support. Even the Onan A series diesels are being avoided, and they were in John Deere tractors for years.....because there is minimal parts support

If it was a robbins, kubota, lombardini or kohler that would be a different thing
