Back when I was growing up I too grew up in a boys home (ranch) and we had to work like frigging dogs. But driving old equipment and learning to maneuver life as we knew it saved my life. Good vlog and memories.
@@alangee79010 It’s good to know you took lemons and made lemonade my friend!! Sometimes folks don’t move on from a crappy start ♥️🙏🏼 I respect those that do ✌🏼😎 Best wishes from eastern Oregon 🇺🇸
😂 no kidding!! I know that move until my Dad stuck a pile of phone books in behind me 🤣 I really envy this BEAUTIFUL family and their lifestyle 🇺🇸 Best regards from eastern Oregon ✌🏼😎
I was not much older when my Dad had me drive the ole Mack around the yard. 50 years later I'm still driving..and I still can drive a 2 stick! Congratulations! You have created a new generation of Bull hauler! I smiled the whole video..I still remember how it felt, that my Dad trusted me to drive HIS truck. When I visit his grave this Sunday,I'll tell him their are still great Dad's teaching their kids to drive two sticks..
When I was a kid in the 80s, my dad let me drive around his 51 KW with a 262 Cummins, 4&4 trans, and a 4K water tank on the back. It was a blast. Was sorryto see it go all those years ago. You take care of that new toy, good sir! Luv it!
Because of the prior use of this truck as a support vehicle for a crop-dusting operation, make sure the "water" tank does not contain any residual deadly chemicals. Also for a truck this age, and unless you are sure of any recent engine and transmission service, the engine and transmission oil should be drained and replaced with new and appropriate oils. All the oil filters and air filters should be replaced. Also the radiator should be drained and the water, with the appropriate amount of antifreeze should be replaced. Doing just a little tweaking and maintenance should make this this truck a good water truck for quite a few years. PS: Don't forget to service the Honda pump engine, it will also need an oil change with new filters for the oil and air intake. This gives you another great opportunity to have Riley help you and get more good instructions and experience.
Riley, remember the truck fire out on the highway a while back? If you and your dad think you will be ok to let this KW truck stand with a load of water on it, then don't let too much time pass before you fix it up to use as a makeshift fire truck. There are lots of things around the ranch that can catch fire and your local fire department is a long distance away. Get some fire hose of both 1.5 inch and 1inch diameter and fog (spray) nozzles for both. The red plastic ones are just fine for starters. Then make sure you have the proper connectors to hook the hoses to the pump. Then practice hooking them up and using them. Your local fire department might help you to find those things, and make other suggestions. Rig a place to keep those and other tools ON THE TRUCK. Always keep those things ON THE TRUCK! Don't ever "borrow" them to do anything else somewhere or sure as shootin' they won't be there when there is a fire! Good luck.
The red stop arm hanging down in your view will drop down to alert you of low air pressure while driving...after you have the truck running and air builds up, you flip that flag up to the left to reset it for driving, if it drops down while driving you have low or no air pressure. That air shut down valve, I believe is the PASS (Positive Air Shut-Off System) valve. It cuts off the air supply to the engine from what I can find. What is the tractor protection valve on a CDL? Tractor Protection Valve | CDL Air Brake Valves | CDL Air ... The tractor protection valve is comparable to a sentry. It monitors air pressure in the trailer. If the tractor protection valve detects catastrophic air loss in the trailer, it tells the trailer air supply valve to shut off air to the trailer. The trailer air supply valve turns air on and off to the trailer. The tractor protection valve shuts off the air supply to the trailer, in the event of a major air leak on a trailer, it'll stop the tractor from sending air to the trailer to maintain the brakes on the tractor...you'll have diminished braking power as the tractor would be doing 100% of the braking at that point, but it'll allow you to continue driving to a safe location for repairs.
It needs shocks on the steer axel . The first truck I rode in was a '53 kw conv. I was 11 (1961) . Straight 220 , #5 button , fast timing , 5+4 , 5.23 ratio , 64 mph @ 2300 . Went from So. Cal. to the bay area . 14 mph up the 5 mile . No Jake down the 5 mi. grapevine grade . I was hooked . At 74 , still am . Ps He let me drive a little in '65 ❤ . Good job young man 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I think the shutdown valve may be a decompression valve. The round red flag thing hanging in front of the steering wheel is a low air pressure warning. After starting, and building air pressure, flip the flag up to the left. If it stays up, you have enough pressure to operate the breaks at least. If the flag will not stay up, not enough pressure to drive the truck. If it drops in front of your face while you are driving, pull over and stop immediately because you are losing all of your air.
The ratio is much higher for old steering boxes, so it really is much easier to turn than steering intended for power assist....you just have to turn it more for the same effect. And if the vehicle is moving, even a little, that also makes it easier.
IDK why it's so enjoyable too watch a young guy like Riley drive something that he probably shouldn't be driving, lol, I guess it just reminds me of my own childhood a little, lol, keep-up the great work guys, and thanks for sharing.
Dad can't fool me he wasn't sure how to drive the truck himself so he Riley in it he knew who had the confidence to try AND HE did we need more boys like this that will grow up and be men Thank you
Love to see young fellas learning how to do "man jobs" like driving large trucks, operating equipment, etc. That's exactly how I was raised and despite being a girl. I could operate/drive everything on the place by age 12 and my confidence level was through the roof about pretty much anything I wanted or tried to do during my teen/early adult years. Great "parent points" score!! ❤
Looks like a pretty decent old truck for hauling water. 2 shift levers that'll stop a lot of people from being able to steal it, even with the diagram on the dash LOL.
I live a Beautiful life with my Darling wife 💜 of 30 years 🥰 and raised our incredible children ( waiting for grand babies) and I wouldn’t change it for all the tea in China! 🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼 but I just wish I had the grit and determination of the Hughes family!! Looks like the Lil farts got them a summer haircut 🇺🇸 I truly enjoy every minute of the Anchor Brand Ranch show!! I wouldn’t say all that if I didn’t mean it %100 ✌🏼😎 Best wishes from eastern Oregon ♥️🇺🇸
He is a true gear jammer. Arm stuck through the steering wheel to shift gears. Great looking truck I haven’t seen a air warning flag in years. Your videos are awesome. Keep them coming 😊🎉
that stop haning in the winshield is when you get enough air ,you life it up and it stays. when you run low on air ,it drops down and the brakes lock up. this old school man. i,m 86 years old and I drove these. brings back some long time memories. that transmission is a 4 and three. you will find out when you drive it enough that there is a lot of shifting . on the 3 gear ,,, you shift the main 3 time s,then go to 2nd and startall over. it will take some time to get it,but it works good.
Yrs ago I drove a truck with 2 transmissions. The gear shift with reverse is the main transmission. The other gear shift is the spitter. Ram that transmission is the mechanical version or a 13 speed, 15 speed. I think emergency shut off is to stop a run away engine before it blows up. Detroit diesel use to have them. It took a mechanic to set it back rite.
So you found the compression release pull and the tractor control air valve above the parking release is for locking the the differential for traction control. After the tanks air up swing the low air pressure warning wig wag arm up out of the way of seeing through the windshield. Nice truck with long ago features. Fine driver!
All set to water the new arena. Runs pretty smooth, all said from a non-mechanic. Rylie does a great job of driving a new truck💕Great so many made how to instruction comments. Now to get the arena fenced!! Take care. 💕🤗From East Texas
I lucked out and spotted y'all a minute ago your place is a young man's dream come true I will be watching you and that is a compression realese if it is hard to crank later she is a sweet truck for sure I am a retired trucker OWNER Operator and a disabled Vietnam Veteran and 73 yrs old
that old 220 cummins brings back some memories i agree with scotty on shutdown valve is your decompression valve we used that often in the winter here in canada to start the engine the other cable if i remember right was to adjust idling when you pumped on or off liquid i think honda pump is an add on god bless you guyes love to watch you and your wife bringing up your kids to have confidence in themselves tried to reach you a while back on info how to repair rad tank but did not know how to reach you
Very few boys Riley's age would or could drive a truck. My guess only a had full would have the chance to drive a piece of history like this. Truly great video. Big restoration to come. Great that it started. Loved the hum of the engine.
You also use that compression handle when it is cold weather. You pull the handle and get the engine spinning over real fast then push the compression release valve in and engine will start quicker. I think your engine is most likely a 262 Cummins. Might be a 250 also.
Back in 1980 thru 82, my Dad and I toured the country in a 1957 Kenworth, 335 Cummins with a 5 & 4 and a 36" sleeper that my Dad, my brother and I rebuilt. So if you have any questions I would be glad to answer for you. It looks like you're in the desert of California so I'm not that far of a drive from you and my wife and I would love to come and see your operation. I love to see you getting your family involved. Thats awesome! Take care & God bless.
The engine in the truck is most likely an NTO 220. The lever with the pull cable in the cab that you thought is the kill is actually a compression release for cold starting. Pull it get the engine spinning and push it back in. As far as shut down it's a electric solenoid top of the fuel pump. If it doesn't shut off with the key the manual override screw is most likely turned in.
Has it got a fuel pump on the engine. If so the stop cable will be on it. It may have a decompresser valve on the top of the engine. That's a shaft that runs through the rocker cover. It's just for cold starting. So don't worry about that.
Your boys amaze me. You never hold them back from learning something new, no matter how old they are. Always watching over their shoulder. Your kids are gonna go far because they’re not afraid of hard work. They’re not afraid to try. They do crack me up though. Your son may as well be the first to drive it. Cause he’s probably gonna be the one hauling the water to the cows.
What a gem of a find! Score! That old truck brings back a lot of memories. I restored a 1948 KW and it was repowered with the same engine. 743 C.I., NT-6 Cummins, it should have the exact model on the tag by the fuel pump. It was one of the first turbo charged Cummins engines, but they really didn't add much HP's. On the left side of the dash, that's a compression release, used to start the engine on cold mornings. It is NOT the engine shut down valve! It opens the exhaust valves so it can freely turn over without any compression. Don't pull it when it's running! I doubt you'll be needing to use it in sunny CA! The red thing dangling in the drivers windshield is called a Wig-Wag. It was used as a warning for low air pressure. You should just be able to flip it out of the way once you have around 60 PSI. The old Cummins had one wire to the fuel pump solenoid. Key on opens the solenoid to let it run, and key off closes the solenoid to shut it off. Not sure what the shut off valve is about but it's not for that engine. It might have had the engine replaced, which wouldn't surprise me considering how old she is. Detroit Diesels were the only engines from that era that had a shut-off valve, probably that one dangling from the dash by the parking brake valve. Dang. I'm old... So happy to see you with your family learning about the old iron and raising your boys right. God Bless! Edited to add that those hood hinges probably just need a good squirt of PB blaster or WD40 to loosen them up.
I'm a bit of a youngster (19) and grew up loving and driving these old trucks. I've used a compression release like that before, but never actually thought to pull it when it was running. What exactly would it do? Fill your cylinders with unburnt fuel? Would love to know the answer. (Not to mention your restored KW!)
@@macoyreiber4482 The simple answer is the exhaust push rods have a metal disk on them, and when you pull the compression release they hold the exhaust valves open until you get the engine turning over fast enough. Then you release the compression release and, hopefully, it starts. If you pull on it while it's running, you can seriously damage the exhaust push rods! As for my old 48, I bought it when I was 19 and spent the next 7 years restoring it. It brought my dad and I closer together and helped me avoid the traps of partying and all that stuff. Sadly, it was stolen a few years later. To say I was pretty pissed off is a huge understatement! But I realized that the only person I was hurting by carrying around anger and bitterness was me. I just retired from trucking after 42 years and now I hope to play with them. Looking for a Marmon now.... hahaha
@@outintheboondocks1466 interesting, so how different does the compression release work from a Jake brake? I understand a Jake works by opening the exhaust valves just before tdc. What separates the two? Too bad about the KW. Some people in this world are downright despicable! I'm currently eyeing a 1954 with a 220 Cummins on FB marketplace, trying real hard to talk myself out of it. Good luck finding a Marmon, I've always liked them but they can be a bit difficult to track down!
@@macoyreiber4482 Jakes use a special head on top of the heads. It uses an electric solenoid to trick the timing of the valves. At least that’s how the old ones work. As for buying your dream truck, be prepared to spend a lot of time and money!
Did it come with the owners manual 😂it’s a year older than me…fingers crossed she starts🤞she looks and runs pretty good for a sweet old ride. Congratulations.
Truck tractor protection valve is to shut off trailer air in the event of a hose failure so the tractor doesn't lose air. Emergency means only the tractor gets air. Totally manual on a rig this old, it won't happen automatically. Also may be irrelevant to your configuration, unless there's air fittings back there for a towed trailer. 1957 is the year I was born, incidentally.
A word to the wise..with the armstrong steering (manual) let it start rolling before you start turning, it’s lots easier, ya just gotta get in the habit of leaving a little room in front when you park.
In the mid 70s I was working at the 76 truck stop on the fuel island in Alb, There used to be a guy who came in with a 50s Pete with all modern running gear and interior. He said that Ca. charged taxes by the age of the frame. I do find it interesting that you have the boy try to figure out how to drive it. You're going to have to get him a cushion or two to push him forward in the seat and maybe some blocks on the pedals
Got another truck for Riley to learn all about! The computer might help you with some of the things on the dash or an old truck driver! Be sure to keep antifreeze in it too!
Auxiliary transmission on the right is labeled wrong=no low, med,high. They are 3 small step gears to be shifted within each of the 4 main trans gears.
Good job Riley . And good job mom and dad them boys are dang good kids. Riley watch some you tube on shifting a 5&4 . They are a great set up once you get to know how it all works. That old kenworth is sweet.
The handle on the left is a compression release it's for starting the truck the worning is don't run the truck with the valves open the Handel on the right is for closing or opening the damper on the radiator. The stop sign above the steering wheel should lift out of the way when you get enough air pressure . You will also need to check but I'm guessing it will be a positive ground a little tricky when jump starting. This was the truck that I leaned how to drive if you have any other questions please feel free to reach out keep up the good work with your boys .
The shut off valve must be a compression release...the tractor protection valve is just the trailer air..back then there was only spring brakes on one drive axle & none on the trailers...no steer axle brakes either...the air tank on the trailer would apply brakes to the trailer if the supply line was interrupted, or broke & that valve would pop off to the emergency position & keep the tractor from loosing air as well....as long as the trailer was disconnected and the air tank would hold air, the trailer brakes would remain engaged, as the air bled off...usually a day or two...then the trailer wheels would free roll... Some history for you!!
From first look/impression that thing is in fantastic shape, someone treated her pretty gentle thru the years. With that wiggle waggle air warning bar you are probably gonna want to chock the tires when it’s parked (I couldn’t see any parking brake cans on the brakes)
OK let’s start from the top that flag in front of the driver windshield drops down when there’s low air pressure you should be able push it left or right with your finger until it seats. The gearshift closest to the driver is the main transmission and the one farthest from the driver is there auxiliary, even if the auxiliary is in gear as long as the main is the neutral, you’re fine. The engine shut off was exactly what you figured out, the old Macs were the same way. The tractor protection valve would be if you didn’t have a tank on, and you were pulling a trailer with the truck, and somehow the trailer on hitch from the truck it would put the brakes on. Been watching your channel for a while. Love every episode happy motoring.
Movie ~ Duel ~ comes to mind .
The truck is 66 years old and Riley hops in and is driving it around in 5 minutes. Riley can drive anything! He is truly The Talented Mr. Riley. 🚚
To be fair, he's already driven a lot of old rigs, so he has some basics. But yes, still an accomplishment!
Back when I was growing up I too grew up in a boys home (ranch) and we had to work like frigging dogs. But driving old equipment and learning to maneuver life as we knew it saved my life. Good vlog and memories.

Rucking Fight, Kid! You got gumption in your blood and a brain between your ears - enough to make any Father proud. Respect to you and your Pa.

That was incredible. Riley’s brain is like a giant calculator. Watching is just magic.
Because of the prior use of this truck as a support vehicle for a crop-dusting operation, make sure the "water" tank does not contain any residual deadly chemicals. Also for a truck this age, and unless you are sure of any recent engine and transmission service, the engine and transmission oil should be drained and replaced with new and appropriate oils. All the oil filters and air filters should be replaced. Also the radiator should be drained and the water, with the appropriate amount of antifreeze should be replaced. Doing just a little tweaking and maintenance should make this this truck a good water truck for quite a few years. PS: Don't forget to service the Honda pump engine, it will also need an oil change with new filters for the oil and air intake. This gives you another great opportunity to have Riley help you and get more good instructions and experience.
The world needs more parents like you and your wife. All your kids are smarter than average.
Riley, remember the truck fire out on the highway a while back? If you and your dad think you will be ok to let this KW truck stand with a load of water on it, then don't let too much time pass before you fix it up to use as a makeshift fire truck. There are lots of things around the ranch that can catch fire and your local fire department is a long distance away. Get some fire hose of both 1.5 inch and 1inch diameter and fog (spray) nozzles for both. The red plastic ones are just fine for starters. Then make sure you have the proper connectors to hook the hoses to the pump. Then practice hooking them up and using them. Your local fire department might help you to find those things, and make other suggestions.
Rig a place to keep those and other tools ON THE TRUCK. Always keep those things ON THE TRUCK! Don't ever "borrow" them to do anything else somewhere or sure as shootin' they won't be there when there is a fire!

The low air is called a "wig-wag". The hood has cradles to stand in by the radiator.

The ratio is much higher for old steering boxes, so it really is much easier to turn than steering intended for power assist....you just have to turn it more for the same effect. And if the vehicle is moving, even a little, that also makes it easier.
Left pull cable is compression release to use while cranking engine. Red sign hanging in window is to signal low air pressure=No brakes.
That is a 4x3 you split the 4 gears in the main trans with the 3 speed gear shifter on the right called a browning.

Brings back many, many great and not so great Memories. I drove this type of the same rig for M. Bruenger Inc. in 1959.
Man this really brings back Memorieds when I was 11 Years old in Missouri at my Uncles farm.
The Kenworth is a late model rig, 2 years younger than me! That truck would work great for watering down the new arena.
Ah Ram……you’re like a little kid when it comes to these old BIG EQUIPMENT TRUCKS, I just love it! Good for you!

Enjoy all your videos! Just an old retired trucker from Olive Branch ,N. C .
that stop haning in the winshield is when you get enough air ,you life it up and it stays. when you run low on air ,it drops down and the brakes lock up. this old school man. i,m 86 years old and I drove these. brings back some long time memories. that transmission is a 4 and three. you will find out when you drive it enough that there is a lot of shifting . on the 3 gear ,,, you shift the main 3 time s,then go to 2nd and startall over. it will take some time to get it,but it works good.

You also use that compression handle when it is cold weather. You pull the handle and get the engine spinning over real fast then push the compression release valve in and engine will start quicker. I think your engine is most likely a 262 Cummins. Might be a 250 also.
I knew if someone could do it, it would be Riley . That is one awesome young man.
Top hand Isn’t he!! I respect the incredible Parenting skills it takes to create such amazing children ♥️🇺🇸
Back in 1980 thru 82, my Dad and I toured the country in a 1957 Kenworth, 335 Cummins with a 5 & 4 and a 36" sleeper that my Dad, my brother and I rebuilt.
So if you have any questions I would be glad to answer for you.
It looks like you're in the desert of California so I'm not that far of a drive from you and my wife and I would love to come and see your operation. I love to see you getting your family involved. Thats awesome! Take care & God bless.
They are in Nevada.
Fantastic! Those were some GREAT “figure it out & make it run” skills!
Of the video is there anything Riley can't do that boy is so smart God-bless From grandma Judy from Louisiana
The engine in the truck is most likely an NTO 220. The lever with the pull cable in the cab that you thought is the kill is actually a compression release for cold starting. Pull it get the engine spinning and push it back in. As far as shut down it's a electric solenoid top of the fuel pump. If it doesn't shut off with the key the manual override screw is most likely turned in.
Congrats. A pure must for your area.
Has it got a fuel pump on the engine. If so the stop cable will be on it. It may have a decompresser valve on the top of the engine. That's a shaft that runs through the rocker cover. It's just for cold starting. So don't worry about that.
what a great family you have
Your boys amaze me. You never hold them back from learning something new, no matter how old they are. Always watching over their shoulder. Your kids are gonna go far because they’re not afraid of hard work. They’re not afraid to try. They do crack me up though.
Your son may as well be the first to drive it. Cause he’s probably gonna be the one hauling the water to the cows.
What a gem of a find! Score!
That old truck brings back a lot of memories. I restored a 1948 KW and it was repowered with the same engine. 743 C.I., NT-6 Cummins, it should have the exact model on the tag by the fuel pump. It was one of the first turbo charged Cummins engines, but they really didn't add much HP's.
On the left side of the dash, that's a compression release, used to start the engine on cold mornings. It is NOT the engine shut down valve! It opens the exhaust valves so it can freely turn over without any compression. Don't pull it when it's running! I doubt you'll be needing to use it in sunny CA!
The red thing dangling in the drivers windshield is called a Wig-Wag. It was used as a warning for low air pressure. You should just be able to flip it out of the way once you have around 60 PSI.
The old Cummins had one wire to the fuel pump solenoid. Key on opens the solenoid to let it run, and key off closes the solenoid to shut it off. Not sure what the shut off valve is about but it's not for that engine. It might have had the engine replaced, which wouldn't surprise me considering how old she is. Detroit Diesels were the only engines from that era that had a shut-off valve, probably that one dangling from the dash by the parking brake valve.
Dang. I'm old...
So happy to see you with your family learning about the old iron and raising your boys right. God Bless!
Edited to add that those hood hinges probably just need a good squirt of PB blaster or WD40 to loosen them up.
I'm a bit of a youngster (19) and grew up loving and driving these old trucks. I've used a compression release like that before, but never actually thought to pull it when it was running. What exactly would it do? Fill your cylinders with unburnt fuel? Would love to know the answer. (Not to mention your restored KW!)
@@macoyreiber4482 The simple answer is the exhaust push rods have a metal disk on them, and when you pull the compression release they hold the exhaust valves open until you get the engine turning over fast enough. Then you release the compression release and, hopefully, it starts. If you pull on it while it's running, you can seriously damage the exhaust push rods!
As for my old 48, I bought it when I was 19 and spent the next 7 years restoring it. It brought my dad and I closer together and helped me avoid the traps of partying and all that stuff. Sadly, it was stolen a few years later. To say I was pretty pissed off is a huge understatement! But I realized that the only person I was hurting by carrying around anger and bitterness was me. I just retired from trucking after 42 years and now I hope to play with them. Looking for a Marmon now.... hahaha
@@outintheboondocks1466 interesting, so how different does the compression release work from a Jake brake? I understand a Jake works by opening the exhaust valves just before tdc. What separates the two?
Too bad about the KW. Some people in this world are downright despicable! I'm currently eyeing a 1954 with a 220 Cummins on FB marketplace, trying real hard to talk myself out of it. Good luck finding a Marmon, I've always liked them but they can be a bit difficult to track down!
@@macoyreiber4482 Jakes use a special head on top of the heads. It uses an electric solenoid to trick the timing of the valves. At least that’s how the old ones work.
As for buying your dream truck, be prepared to spend a lot of time and money!
Lot of things impressive about this video I think the biggest 1 is you have 2.3k views in just over an hour.
Keep on trucking
Santa Clause came to Anchor Brand Ranch Love to you All
That's a nice rope trick, Ryler 🤠
This is the way kids need to grow up outside learning to be a prosperous human being good job with kids man outstanding had to subscribe
Just another amazing job by Riley, Riley you are an outstanding young man.
What a bloody rippa truck ya got top driver behind the wheel what else would ya expect Well done would tidy up nicely
Did it come with the owners manual 😂it’s a year older than me…fingers crossed she starts🤞she looks and runs pretty good for a sweet old ride. Congratulations.
I am SO jealous. I used to drive a 1961 Peterbilt, with 2 sticks. Lots of fun!!!
Great job Riley and parents!
Truck tractor protection valve is to shut off trailer air in the event of a hose failure so the tractor doesn't lose air. Emergency means only the tractor gets air. Totally manual on a rig this old, it won't happen automatically. Also may be irrelevant to your configuration, unless there's air fittings back there for a towed trailer. 1957 is the year I was born, incidentally.
Ryley i have full confidence in you lad you,ve got this old truck mastered already .
Thats a cool old truck. Could you imagine anchor brand written on the side where the white is in big letters?
One heck of a great interesting truck.
Nice looking water truck Ramzi
Anything with a tank is worth having. She is barely broke in! Good looking Truck!
A word to the wise..with the armstrong steering (manual) let it start rolling before you start turning, it’s lots easier, ya just gotta get in the habit of leaving a little room in front when you park.
In the mid 70s I was working at the 76 truck stop on the fuel island in Alb, There used to be a guy who came in with a 50s Pete with all modern running gear and interior. He said that Ca. charged taxes by the age of the frame.
I do find it interesting that you have the boy try to figure out how to drive it. You're going to have to get him a cushion or two to push him forward in the seat and maybe some blocks on the pedals
Got another truck for Riley to learn all about! The computer might help you with some of the things on the dash or an old truck driver! Be sure to keep antifreeze in it too!
Welldone son reversing that truck off you keeped ya nerve 😊
Auxiliary transmission on the right is labeled wrong=no low, med,high. They are 3 small step gears to be shifted within each of the 4 main trans gears.
I only have one worry about your 57 new toy! Where are you going to find parts?! Love ya Ramz.😅
Good job Riley . And good job mom and dad them boys are dang good kids. Riley watch some you tube on shifting a 5&4 . They are a great set up once you get to know how it all works. That old kenworth is sweet.
The handle on the left is a compression release it's for starting the truck the worning is don't run the truck with the valves open the Handel on the right is for closing or opening the damper on the radiator. The stop sign above the steering wheel should lift out of the way when you get enough air pressure . You will also need to check but I'm guessing it will be a positive ground a little tricky when jump starting. This was the truck that I leaned how to drive if you have any other questions please feel free to reach out keep up the good work with your boys .
The shut off valve must be a compression release...the tractor protection valve is just the trailer air..back then there was only spring brakes on one drive axle & none on the trailers...no steer axle brakes either...the air tank on the trailer would apply brakes to the trailer if the supply line was interrupted, or broke & that valve would pop off to the emergency position & keep the tractor from loosing air as well....as long as the trailer was disconnected and the air tank would hold air, the trailer brakes would remain engaged, as the air bled off...usually a day or two...then the trailer wheels would free roll...
Some history for you!!
It's Amazing!!
Congratulations for your New toy!
From first look/impression that thing is in fantastic shape, someone treated her pretty gentle thru the years. With that wiggle waggle air warning bar you are probably gonna want to chock the tires when it’s parked (I couldn’t see any parking brake cans on the brakes)
Saw the Joshua trees and thought Mojave desert but anyway letting the boy drive is wonderfull.
I liked the part where he pushed the clutch in to see if it would start. That boy knows whats up.
Riley could fly a spaceship if you could find one for him all the best from the uk 🇬🇧
Loved watching this ❤your so in tune with your young ones its amazing much love from uk 🥰🤪
OK let’s start from the top that flag in front of the driver windshield drops down when there’s low air pressure you should be able push it left or right with your finger until it seats. The gearshift closest to the driver is the main transmission and the one farthest from the driver is there auxiliary, even if the auxiliary is in gear as long as the main is the neutral, you’re fine. The engine shut off was exactly what you figured out, the old Macs were the same way. The tractor protection valve would be if you didn’t have a tank on, and you were pulling a trailer with the truck, and somehow the trailer on hitch from the truck it would put the brakes on. Been watching your channel for a while. Love every episode happy motoring.
