Thanks Mates

Out of all the cylinder configurations of the Detroit engines, the 6V sounds the best! The 8V is nice but sounds a bit more restrained, the 3 and 4 cylinder motors have very raspy exhaust notes, the 12 and 16V are on the smooth end of the sound scale but all unique in their own right.

That power steering box is certainly going to make this truck easier to drive, paint looks great too!

Looks very close in colour to the original 53 series, I am a little more anal and would probably have brush painted it with enamel paint to avoid the overspray look if it was my engine, brush painting turns up really well but is much more time consuming. Turned out well though looks awesome! Cheers from the Mornington Peninsula 👍

Left hand drill should get it out

Are you sure that's a cab over to me it looks like it has a hood cab over mens cab over engine

After some decades, the braided airlines get corrosion in them, get very stiff and break. lots of work, but very worth it. Doubt Kenworth will ever make trucks as good as they were from the 1970's to the late 1980's.

Man i love cabovers good on ya mate for saving the old girl

I worked in ALBERTA OIL FIELDS , OUR FRACK PUMPTRUCK RAN 12 V 149,, 4 TURBOS , YOU COULD HEAR THEM AT 2150 RPMS FOR 10 MILES . 10 INCH STRAIGHT STACKS WITH FLAPPER CAPS

Vise grips kid

2 two words "dust buster" hahah love that sound.

thats a blokes heaven yard

No but a good show anyway

Ive alwasy thought rhe 6v92 was the beat sounding detroit.. also the most underappreciated

❤when i hear a detroit 2 stroker, goosebumps 👍🏻👍🏻

Hey up mate cool love it, always liked Euclid's which engine has this one got

I used to herd an OLD R-35 with a 2-cycle 12-V 71 Detriot/GM, a 6-speed Allison automatic and a retarder. NO brakes. Hauled a lot of stuff from settling ponds at the crusher and from the shovel. They had 40 ton Terex trucks with Cummins and electric shift Allisons. The old truck was MUCH better..

The Reminds be of what an Old Mate used to say to me, lucky their in a Box son.

Really enjoy your Videos, great smile when ya have a win, 4 new glow plugs for Christmas would've done the trick.

Swedish style Scania inline-6 DC13 pure heaven

Curious to know why you would've drove the float out of harms way.Earlier.

Mount it on that old IH track loader. Throw the IH engine out and put in a hyd motor. I made one works ok. Just keep moving along when it fills up underneath.

Howdy 🤠 from the Northwoods of Minnesota. Lots of good material

Love it mate Are you scrapping the lnt ? I need an engine for my Louis

Can we get more of Stuart singing? Reminds me of him at the Geelong Hotel in the 90's

Just checking on the Jake brakes for the Cummins 903

You’ve taken a lot if treasure outta there, hopefully it can go to saving others, or carry on making someone a living! Plenty stuff to keep your content busy!

Good viewing. Bit jealous of you. Love the old dozer and traxcavaters. Good job and hope you have more to share.

Definitely some treasures there mate! That Mack looks like you could put it straight back on the road, love the “does it have air con and Jake’s”😂 hope you did well out of these yards mate💪🏻🤙🏻

Hey up nice work on that yard mate enjoyed your video thanks

In fitzory crossing I arive on a site. With the same old ford. Duct tape the water hose. 1 km to the tip. Concrete yard in derby wa. Then owner say drive to fitzory crossing. 300km away. In 45dc temp. I beg. Put low loader. No in tow ute and trailer. Water oil fuel. Front window rusted out. What killed it no dash . And intera hot water vale failed. All the water ran away. And i cracked the heads. Reales bracks. Pull axle. Hard line connection. Tow 250 km to fitzory crossing. Old ford will not tie if not for humans hehe.

Money for projects. Good onya mate ) no a life time of projects for your channel. Smile. ) Forget the story of this. A man that could not let a good thing go. No words. )

Money for projects. Good onya mate )

Thank as said. Money to be made. Sec in. God bless mate 👍

Hi Jake @dieseldownunder , that Komatsu excavator that has the blow by look up COST EFFECTIVE MAINTENANCE truckies blow by treatment, you will thank me later i swear by this stuff and it has saved many a rebuild on multiple vehicles . Yet again another cool video thanx for the quality.

Nice, there were some gems in that yard. But when an engine hasn’t ran for years is it wise to start and rev it straight away? Especially not knowing what the cylinders look like, or if it’s about to suck a heap,of crap or water in?

interested in selling crusher?

Great video Jake,really enjoyed it,hope you get your fair share of perks out of all the old junk!!!

Hey Jake,good video as always,A few more projects for you now ,good to see some of the machinery running and moving,nice job of the yard clean up and finishing off,thanks for sharing as it would be enough work without videoing

Hi Jake looks like you got a great haul out of that yard. Got just about everything to run always a plus. Stay cool

Woohoo ! That´s some proper good stuff you´ve hauled out of there Jake ! Not even ten minutes into the video and the first one starts straight up too, and the next one etc. Them 16 v´s were nice as well. Wish I had been there to assist mate. It´s the stuff of dreams really ! Cheers, Ard

Hi from all your viewers from France,maaate the salvage gods were on your side on that job,awesome video.
