I'm not a Detroit Diesel expert - but we had many small ones to work on at our Deere dealership. Besides the Deere's using the little 2-53s, we had various wheel-loaders, crawlers, and log skidders with 3-53s, 4-53s, 2-71s, 3-71s, etc. including Franklin, Pettibone, Timberjack, Clark, Allis Chalmers, etc. Also worked on a couple of 8V-92s. Most that I worked on had the emergency shut-offs that choked off air supply at the blower. If we were working on a Detroit that did NOT have it, someone would be standing by with a rag to plug the air-intake to avoid motor run-away. We had a large truck shop across the road. The mechanic there told me that they sometimes would get a larger Detroit that would keep on running - even with the emergency shut-off closed. He said the engine, when choked, would suck crankcase oil through worn valve guides and blower seals - an it was just enough to let the engine keep on chugging away.
