I don’t think there is a better sound than a 2 stroke diesel whether it’s a Detroit, Commer knocker, UD’s or even the multitude of GM EMD series powering the early Victorian Railways GM Clyde built loco’s for that matter, it’s good that you got it running and hanging on to it as they are fed and far between nowadays, good work! 👍
@@neilmchardy9061 Yep I fully agree, I remember being mesmerised by the sound of the Commer 2 stroke as a little kid while walking to school in the sixties when I would hang around our local gravel and garden supply joint and wait for their Commer tipper to go off down the road so that I could relish in that sound! In later years I discovered the technical aspects of the roots blown TS2 and the interesting 3 cylinder 6 piston configuration
Don't change a thing. Your accent is what I love. I had an Aussie on my mail route here in the USA and I loved talking to him, plus he ran a hotrod shop, so I couldn't wait to get to his business. When I first met him I made the mistake of calling him "English". He corrected me real quick and I frequented his business until I retired.
Hi mate fantastic. I didn’t realise I had an accent, but that’s how most would be. I do believe the Americans like our accent here and yes we are different to the English indeed.
My grandfather went on vacation to Australia and while he was there he bought one the exact same and had it shipped back home( Nova Scotia, Canada). Short story is I learned how to drive in that truck. Most reliable farm truck he had. It also had the Nissan 5 cylinder in it. Loved the sound of that truck after he went with a straight pipe exhaust. Cheers.
That is funny, i'd never have thought of anyone actually wanting to take a Butterbox International that badly (Australia nickname for them was a butterbox).
Hey mate, absolutely love this! Please don’t repower that chassis, that engine is awesome! Love your channel, & love the fact that you’re unashamedly you - don’t let the keyboard warriors stop you from doing things your way. Your in-depth information is a big part of what makes this such a popular channel 👍 😁
@@bo-dine7971v or in-line makes no difference, all about no of cyls, firing order, and exhaust manifold design. Inlines and v’s only sound different because of exhaust manifold design. 5 cyls sound pretty much identical to 10 cyls.
"You talk too much"? Well if you didn't talk so much half of us(like me) wouldn't have a clue what's going on. Keep on talking too much Steve. Great channel mate.
I lost my dad in 06 due to cancer when I was only 15 .. to see father and son bonding now is very awesome.. except the fact that no father and son can look eachother in the eyes to say "I love you". Tomorrow is uncertain , regret is certain .. so to anybody who reads this , tell your parent , sibling , or even children , cousin, uncle , aunt ... all the best
It's too late for me to say anything to my father we weren't that close anyway, he'd rather chase skirts than spend any time with his son. My mother, that's a different story, she was always there when I needed her. I'm sorry to hear about your losing your father it must be bad on you, mate, my prayers will be for you and your father. Be safe.
its great to see someone bringing the old stuff back to life and see old different kind off stuff thats out there and it would great to see them back on the road
Bro that blower has a sound all of its own don't it. Absolutely loved it. Never thought a Japanese diesel could sound so good. I have never heard of a 5 cylinder Nissan diesel, although the Hino I'm currently I currently drive at the moment has a 5 cyl diesel in it. I bet you want to keep it in the truck now don't you? 😂. Keep'em comin Steve, I enjoy watching your videos...
Americans and English have a history of even number cylinder engines which are rough running in general. The Germans and some other Europeans prefer odd number cylinders as they are smoother running but however the American and British due use 3 cylinders in smaller diesels like Massey Fergusons 35x, 135, Ford 3000, 4000 tractors etc Hey now if you are into 2 strokes then the early 1970's Suzuki jeep type mini 4wd had 2 strokes which would be pretty interesting as they are now very rare.
Also the Suzuki Carry micro vans with tiny wheel rims no more than 11". I've been in one and it seemed to really pull hard for sub 500cc. A Japanese diesel I enjoy is the Hino 13 litre used in their CM buses. They have a beefy note to them which Japanese trucks usually don't possess. I always had a soft spot for the once ubiquitous Isuzu Forward. Lovely when they reach that high revs.
@@jamesfrench7299 Yes the Isuzu had a really great reliable reputation and a really versatile engine with a really unique sound of its own. The Hino horrizontal engines were great boat engines for fishing rigs
@@conmanumber1 managed to capture an Isuzu engine at full sing in stereo with a minidisc recorder from my car. It was one of the early Bedford badged versions which was amazing as they were virtually gone by the mid 2000s.
Bloody hell Steve. If you DIDN’T talk about the old trucks then a lot of people would have no idea what you’re doing. I reckon you’re doing a ripper job presenting these videos mate. And yeah, that old screamer sounds exactly as advertised. 😊
Thanks for the content brings back so many good memories I grew up on a dairy farm with some classic tractors and my father was a truck driver. Over the years I lost my wife and parents so your channel gives me some great memories of growing up in better times
Hi Stephen and thank you very much mate. I’m glad this brings back good memories for you. I got into it all in a similar way and thought that I should try and share it all and keep it all going. My condolences for your family mate that’s not good at al. Hopefully your going ok now and there will be plenty more to come. Thanks again mate and take care
A UD6 or 8V75 UD v8 2 stroke with turbo should be insane. i got a silver 8v92 2 stroke turbo motor out back. I fill and run BRP XD-100 2 stroke oil i get at walmart, 6 gallons! She runs cleaner ans smoother on it.
Wish I was over there with you my friend, I love working on Diesels, anything I can get results out of. I'm looking forward to more of your videos. Be safe, my friend.
Hey Steve back in my hometown of Yarrawonga back in the 70s and 80s there was a earthmoving company called Judd's .They had a fleet of those trucks a tippers they had the Perkins in them they were painted up in the company colours,and they were so reliable they had them for years and trded them in for later model inters.I reckon you should leave that motor I that truck and do your build around it ,it sounded so good cheers Tony
G'day Steve, you are what you are and that is why i love seeing what you get up to. Wood turning is my play time but i love watching other Aussie do what they do.Keepem comming cobber.🤠Mate the look on your faces said it all when you fired her up.
My Dad had a 4 cyl Nissan in a concrete mixer. 5x4 trans. Top speed was 45 mph as it used to have a gas engine in it. We repowered another one with a 427 Chevy. It sounded cool too as it used a timing belt to drive the fan and also the mixer drive.
Imagine the UD6 and V8 UD 2 strokes are insane. Some with turboes and all of them run very hard rods rods and crankshafts like detroit and emd 2 strokes, all are on antifriction bearings too
Hey Steve, and steves dad, that thing sounded awesome on screen, l can only imagine it would be so much better in real time. Nice collection you've got going there. 👏👍✌️
Great video, great sound, I was born on a small dairy farm in Lancashire England, the main road climbed a long hill, a carrier ran a fleet of Commer two strokes, at around five o'clock these Commers could be heard climbing this hill, the sound of the two strokes bouncing off the hill towards the farm half a mile away, happy days.
Those International butter box trucks Dad had a lot of them 345 V8 petrol bogie drives carted Bricks from PGH brick works Strathpine QLD to the Sunshine Coast in the Early 70’s went on many a load in them cheers Mick Maleny.
Learning musician here, i have a reference sound system and left volume turned up for your video. Before the video ended I had two calls asking if i new where the hell the Truck is. And why is it so damn loud!? Rofl, thank you for the two stroke symphony! Only better sound then a two stroke diesel is a supercharged two stroke diesel. My ears are happy.
Is the house still standing? That ain't no cake mixer....8^) Man that engine sounds great. Gotta fit a tee piece between pipe and muffler with a cutout valve to let er rip when you're out on the road once in a while. That was a treat to hear. Thanks for the great video Steve. Cheers from Canada.
I've heard a few folk say over the years that their vehicle is addicted to ether but is it really that the vehicle is just get worse over time and thus needs it more? Great video, what a sound! Absolutely love the Aussie style bull bars on the other trucks.
I believe it glazes the bore mate to much of it and wears the rings down because it’s dry. That’s just how I believe and see it but it may be a myth. I’m glad you like it and thanks for watching Rosco
That sound is incredible. I remember back in the late 70's there was a bloke who had a dark red bogie bedford with the UD engine running up the blue mountains. I think he was from the hills district.
I remember as a kid ,early 70's, a local carrier had an international 190 with a 4 cyl 2 stroke UD in it, straight pipe up the back of the cab, could hear it coming miles away. Good engine he said but broke a few valve bridges on end of rocker arms, only took minutes to change one out. Thank you.
These Trucks and tractors you have on this channel are the good ol’ days when things sounded awesome and weren’t bogged down with mufflers and all this “save the environment” shit. I love diesels and this blown Nissan 5 cylinder is so unique and sounds absolutely gorgeous. Please don’t ever replace it and keep 3 n 5 Spicer in there as well (it might be awkward, but it gives the truck character) thanks for the channel content and I wish you the best in your endeavors.
The funny thing is that older Vehicles don't fail that often, even if they sit for years! I think there is a video out there that says 2-Stroke and 5 cylinders does not work... well you have the proof right there! Awesome
I've always wondered why there's no 5 cylinder GM Detroit Diesel engines, I guess they thought if a 4 cyl was underpowered you'd jump straight up to a 6 cylinder. They didn't spend the time and effort into designing one. That's why this 2 stroke UD diesel is so unique. Yes old engines, they do last a long time!. Keep them going. 😂
Steve again not disappointed with the content and the information that comes about from from the videos and that engine wow what a sound keep up the great work
@@stevesplacedownunder Hey there, congratulations! One of my earliest memories was hearing and seeing Uclid Mules on a dam project. 26 years later, I heard that sound again when I started work at logging. It was a Tree Farmer C-7 skidder with a 4/53 Detroit. I was taught to drive it and thoroughly enjoyed it. When I first heard it, that memory of the Uclids came right back. That Nissan has a similar sound but its its own.
Gday Cory thank you mate. It is a beautiful country here and also on mine to visit over there at some stage. Hopefully soon enough I can. Thanks for reaching out mate
Love all the old trucks you have here, they bring back memories from when I was a kid in the 90's. My grandad drove cement trucks around Queensland and also liked working on old machinery. He also liked trains - and now I'm a train driver over in Switzerland. I didn't know that Aussies made some of their own truck cabs. I love the wheel hubs! Looking forward to learning more about these old trucks.
Hi mate. Sorry for late reply. I’m glad it brought back good memories for you. I’m jealous of you driving trains in Switzerland, how amazing that would be to me. There’s plenty more to come mate so stay tuned
I personally thought it was very transparent and honest, lots of people making a living this way these days but most of them won't tell you the who what and why.
Used to drive an ex Pioneer Flxible Clipper coach which was repowered with a 4 cylinder UD two stroke (180 hp) replacing a Deutz (135 hp). An overall far better performer. Yes it had a great note out the exhaust and was frowned on by the constabulary.
Your duetz poppet valved loop scavenged 2 stroke aint no mache to the new UD4 300 cubic inch blown turbo uniflow 1400 hp 2 stroke alchohol UD 2 stroke engine the UD@@conmanumber1is over 1800 hp !
Hi Jason thanks for you support mate it’s very much appreciated. Your welcome to have a look. If I repower it, it would be going into another truck anyway mate so all good on that front
Fricken awsome sound alright, could hear it getting down the road screaming through the gears with a straight pipe and a 13 speed roady behind it. Super Truckers these days don't know what they have missed.
Sounds awesome and really unique as most TH-cam channels I see are all American and I've never seen one of these motors on any of them. What a cool old truck
I like the International content, weve still got an old Transtar with a tipper on the back working everyday. It almost keeps up with the newer Westernstars and im looking ford to some Louisville content, we used to run 2 Louisville agitators about 20 years ago.
Thank you for the feedback mate. I love those transtars. I have 3 here at the moment, still haven’t got a 4200 though. Maybe one day. Fantastic mate I’m sure the blokes like driving it too. The Ford is now in the shed. Will do a Patreon video of a walk around it a bit later.
I know a fellow in the 70s who repowered a single dive Fiat with one of those two stroke Uds that truck pulled a spread trailer and mainly carted banana s out of north QLD
I don’t think there is a better sound than a 2 stroke diesel whether it’s a Detroit, Commer knocker, UD’s or even the multitude of GM EMD series powering the early Victorian Railways GM Clyde built loco’s for that matter, it’s good that you got it running and hanging on to it as they are fed and far between nowadays, good work! 👍
Yip i agree nothing absolutly norhing like a 2 stroke.pure class
I work GM locos with 12V710 EMDs and older 12V645s.just a joy to listen to......
I think the Commer knocker is the best sounding

Thank you so much for writing muffler 'removed' rather than muffle 'delete'. You are a hero among men.
Hi mate. I’m against writing delete too. It doesn’t sound right. Thanks for this
Agreed. "Delete" is the term used by all the hood rats who pay 34.99% interest rate on their Dodge Chargers

It sucks getting hit by a 72000 volt 8v71 ignition CDI magneto system
Built in taser. Handy.
How much does the new UD6 2 stroke cost? It
this is not noise; It is music
Love seeing your dad out there with a collar and a pullover, but his hands speak of a life spent working hard!
Hi mate yes he can tell some stories and has had an incredible go through his life
Awesome sound. Those 5-cylinder two strokers have a unique sound of their own.
that things awsome and lots of room for HP. The turbo UD6 and v8 UD were nuts!
well 2 stroke i 5 should sound the same as v10 4 stroke, right?
pretty much yes.

One of my earliest memories was hearing and seeing Uclid Mules on a dam project. 26 years later, I heard that sound again when I started work at logging. It was a Tree Farmer C-7 skidder with a 4/53 Detroit. I was taught to drive it and thoroughly enjoyed it. When I first heard it, that memory of the Uclids came right back. That Nissan has a similar sound but its its own.
That sounds SWEET !!!! Love to hear it while grabbing gears!!!
So would I. I’m yet to get it driving
Two of my favourite things together, twostroke diesels and five cylinder engines!! Video approved!! :-D
Brilliant mate I’m glad you enjoyed it
Full on race car ! Nice one again Steve and "dad" !
It definitely sounds quite a bit different than American two-stroke diesels a very unique truck indeed
Awesome, love these old trucks.
Glad you like them!
Great roar from that engine Steve, lovely idling sound aswell.
Thanks Tim
Love what you do thanks brother from Raleigh North Carolina it’s on my bucket list to visit your beautiful country
Gday Cory thank you mate. It is a beautiful country here and also on mine to visit over there at some stage. Hopefully soon enough I can. Thanks for reaching out mate
Love all the old trucks you have here, they bring back memories from when I was a kid in the 90's. My grandad drove cement trucks around Queensland and also liked working on old machinery. He also liked trains - and now I'm a train driver over in Switzerland.
I didn't know that Aussies made some of their own truck cabs. I love the wheel hubs! Looking forward to learning more about these old trucks.
Hi mate. Sorry for late reply. I’m glad it brought back good memories for you. I’m jealous of you driving trains in Switzerland, how amazing that would be to me. There’s plenty more to come mate so stay tuned
That would fit nicely in my old jeep wagoner. Love that sound.👍😁
The 190 I drove had a 4 inch Exhaust with an empty 4 inch muffler it was also opened up a bit and it had a tall diff 84 mph it was a beast.
That one got me smiling, sounds great. 👍🏻👍🏻
You and me both! Thank you
Should keep that engine when you rebuild it, best sounding engine
Thats a beautiful sounding unit!!
Sounds awesome, looking forward to seeing it back on the road 👍👍
Great sounding engine, love the sound of a 2 stroke diesel…
mart.cummins.com/imagelibrary/data/assetfiles/0058689.pdf dry sump oil injected cummins ACE OP 2 stroke!
Glad I Found the channel, I used to work on the GM 2strokes for years
Hi mate this is great and I’m glad you liked it. They are a beautiful engine and I have a few of them here. There’s plenty more to come so stay tuned
I personally thought it was very transparent and honest, lots of people making a living this way these days but most of them won't tell you the who what and why.
Thank you.
I love seeing trucks ive never had the pleasure. Thats one awesome 2 stroke beast.
How can a good bloke help A Proper Good Bloke besides buying merchandise n buy the way keep up the great work love your channel it's awesome
Used to drive an ex Pioneer Flxible Clipper coach which was repowered with a 4 cylinder UD two stroke (180 hp) replacing a Deutz (135 hp). An overall far better performer. Yes it had a great note out the exhaust and was frowned on by the constabulary.
UD6 with turbo 2 stroke
I thought the Deutz Fahr being air cooled would had been a way better performer as it had way less parasitic losses.
Your duetz poppet valved loop scavenged 2 stroke aint no mache to the new UD4 300 cubic inch blown turbo uniflow 1400 hp 2 stroke alchohol UD 2 stroke engine the UD@@conmanumber1is over 1800 hp !
Great video, never knew something like that even existed sounds awesome.. great to see and hear.. 👍
Thank you mate, thanks for watching
would love to see the collection in person bud. and DAMN that thing sounded epic! please dont repower it, sounds so good and would be rare id imagine
Hi Jason thanks for you support mate it’s very much appreciated. Your welcome to have a look. If I repower it, it would be going into another truck anyway mate so all good on that front
Sounds great Steve ! Keep up the good work mate ! 🌵
Fricken awsome sound alright, could hear it getting down the road screaming through the gears with a straight pipe and a 13 speed roady behind it. Super Truckers these days don't know what they have missed.
Do like the engineering of the gear stick on that one
With a sound like that and a twin stick, almost worth keeping it Nissan powered, imagine the heads that sound would turn.
Great video reminds me of the old commer knocker my neighbour had back in the sixties very distinctive sound you never forget.
Hi mate yes it sounds very similar
SHE MUST SURVIVE AS-BUILT.
Those gen 1 acco internationals were affectionately know as Butterboxes for obvious reasons!
Youve got my support and encouragement mate’ sounds awesome!
Fantastic mate thank you 🙏
Sounds awesome and really unique as most TH-cam channels I see are all American and I've never seen one of these motors on any of them. What a cool old truck
Hi mate thank you. I don’t think many made it to the USA. Which is good to have something different
That’s a great sound, incredible
Glad i watched this, and subscribed, never knew Nissan had 5 cylinder 2 stroke, great stuff, and keep doing it your way
Hi Jim thanks for the subscription. I’m m glad I introduced you to the mighty Nissan mate. There’s plenty more to come for you to enjoy mate
Good oli fashed way to clean the rods in one..👍👍
sounds like a bloody big lawn mower!! awesome work
Sure does thank you 🙏
My uncle had an acco tipper with 185 cummins with allison #as a kid riding in that i was king of the road😊
Drove a butterbox Acco 6x4 on a farm I worked at years ago repowered by a 4 cylinder UD - Sounded much similar!
Hi mate this is great. Yes it would of been very similar
I like the International content, weve still got an old Transtar with a tipper on the back working everyday. It almost keeps up with the newer Westernstars and im looking ford to some Louisville content, we used to run 2 Louisville agitators about 20 years ago.
Thank you for the feedback mate. I love those transtars. I have 3 here at the moment, still haven’t got a 4200 though. Maybe one day. Fantastic mate I’m sure the blokes like driving it too. The Ford is now in the shed. Will do a Patreon video of a walk around it a bit later.
Hell yeah brother cheers from North Carolina🇺🇲 ill keep watchin if u keep posting👍
I know a fellow in the 70s who repowered a single dive Fiat with one of those two stroke Uds that truck pulled a spread trailer and mainly carted banana s out of north QLD
Thought I seen a Koala runnin out from under the chassis, Mate! lmao!
Outstanding Steve. Love that sound.
Thanks mate
