Volvo Penta TAD561VE
D5 Industrial VE
Volvo Penta TAD561VE legacy industrial diesel. ManualsLib indexes it as covered by the Volvo Penta TAD560VE operator manual, and that manual explicitly lists TAD560VE, TAD561VE, TAD761VE, TAD762VE, TAD763VE, TAD764VE, and TAD765VE as industrial engines. It is treated as a discontinued owner-search row because Volvo Penta current off-highway listings use later D5/D8 designations.
