We had a truck that blew an engine, and the only engine we could get cheaply was a 40 year old 12V71, that had been sitting for 15 years. It actually said"GENERAL MOTORS DIESEL" on the covers, not "DETROIT DIESEL". They just cleaned it up on the outside, and dropped it in. It ran for 3 years straight before it finally gave up the ghost!!
You should hear a 12v71 when it puts two big holes in the sides of the block! I was pulling in a turn at full throttle when 1 and 2 con rods let go and put fist sized holes through the jacket to open air. Man did she shudder the whole freaking yarder.
Making me think! That one had the little round knob Main,HB,Straw clutches and the air guyline dogs. Separate air dogs on the running lines so you can shotgun. Hey, you the guy narrating the Trakloader vids?

True, but the natural sounds even better!

It looks like a real monstar!
@jusportel id rather have this old blister sitting on my front lawn then a brand new peterbilt i love old trucks
Was that one of the ones with those silly little switches instead of Tite-Air valves? And air cylinders on all the guyline dogs?
LOoks like a 12-VTT
I'll try to get the same video, only with a natural 12V71 later in the week.
@WesternStar4900SA Only ones that would dislike this would be guys that like Justin Beeber.....
I bet! What kind of yarder?
Yeah, I'm him.
Hi jusportel!
Please tell me how much hp the truck has and perhaps how many tons of timber?
Thanks
And all the best
Gasteraner
hell yeah.......... yeeh haw diesel's sound better than spark puggers
About 550hp, and anywhere from 90 to about 110 tons of wood. Of course, it depends on the wood, as cedar is quite light, but hemlock is really heavy.
Diesel engine are amaing arent they! They can do so much!
Twin 671s or 12V71?
what kind od motor
