A special On The Hunt today to look at a very special personal collection of Tom Yasinski from Grimshaw Alberta, Canada that he has elected to send to auction all but his personal 359 Peterbilt, darn. However, there are some very special trucks he’s selling including late 70’s model Kenworths and a 1975 Hayes Clipper. What makes these trucks extra special is the motors in them including a Cat 1693 (3406 predecessor) a 3408 V8 Caterpillar (these were D9 engines modified to be installed in on the road semis) and the most special a KTA-600 Cummins that was the 426 Hemi of the semi-truck world in the 70’s. These were just too unique and special not to make a special trip to look at. You won’t believe what they sold for…
Hope you enjoy the video and thanks for all the comments, suggestions, and support!
Keep in mind, I know a little about a lot but not an expert in anything … just doing the best I can, learning as I go ... I do all my own stunts

![CAT Diesel swapped F350 Longest Roadtrip Ever! #FTreeKitty [EP29]](/img/n.gif)
These are not just trucks these are TRUCKS ! It was a pleasure to watch this; thank you. In a world of Freightliner Centuries with cabs that are glued together, light weight components and 300 hp., it was great to see this beautiful fleet of real trucks.
Man this episode was Over The Top (hopefully someone will catch that reference)! The stories my dad has told about running a 3408 and the KTA is insane, he had one of the first KT450s in the area and took it to Antrim Diesel in Greencastle Pa and they put a aftercooler on it and made it a 600, one of the best stories is when he was hauling grain with a few guys who had the “Silver 92” 8v92 Detroits and they were grossing well over 100,000 every load and the trip was 100 miles and they all stopped on top of a mountain and dad changed buttons in the pump before the others got there, long story short dad dumped his grain off and met the others about 20 miles out of where they delivered. Another is when he hauled sand out of Gore Virginia going to Pittsburgh to PPG and coming out of Gore there’s a mountain with about a 5% grade and big engine before the KTA was the Big Cam and with a Big Cam you could pull that mountain around 24mph, when dad got the KTA he pulled it at 40mph and was grossing 110,000. To say the KTA is a monster is a understatement

A great movie.
One of the best movies of all time! I come from a family of Arm Wrestlers💪💯
Tig
M my j bbcm lol u
Like a switch
There's an Aussie bloke here on TH-cam who's running a K100 with a 3408 in it. The engine note is to die for when she's under load, pulling road trains!
That Hayes was absolutely beautiful. 🤩
Belly tarp is what that is, used all then time “back in the day” for cold weather operation. Try it sometime and you’ll be amazed how well it works. None of us old school guys give too many craps about a drop or two of oil hitting the ground. That’s where it came from anyway…lol.
So cool to see this in australia, a bit of a “celebrity” among the community here bought the w model with the 3408 from this auction
I think John Kelly's Majestic has a KTA19. And Aerocat had a 3408, of course, that allowed to do 285kmh with 3 behind and run Adelaide to Perth to 2 hours flat.
Yeah I heard stories. The old needle nose Pete I drove had a T903 and it would do 100mph with 1 behind. You'd get passed by all the doubles going up hill but I'd round them up on the flat!
@@1one3_Racing Was actually Jon that bought the 3408 powered rig
Very loose use of the term “celebrity”
@@onesilvergrey yeah but I didn’t know what else to call him that wouldn’t be quite rude
Hey the big boomer kw 900A came to Ontario sittin in my shed
Nice hope to see it at the clifford show this year....
The Hayes is one sweet truck. Love the interior with the bear logos and leather/ vinyl trim. Awesome!!
Man oh man what a collection of one of a kinds , that hayes made my eyes water a bit 😆👍🏽
Absolutely love when you take a road trip to see old iron, these trucks make any new stuff look silly! 👍🏻
Yeah. Air conditioning. Sound deadening. Seals that actually seal. Stand up bunks. Fridges. Cruise control. Fuel economy. Silly things these modern trucks.
@@1one3_Racing Totally get what your saying and I’m not dissing on new equipment or anyone who drives them I’m merely stating the old stuff makes new stuff look silly.
@@76rdub yeah. I love the old trucks. But I wouldn't want to drive one full time.
Mark all of his trucks are in awesome shape it looks like. Thanks for sharing👍👍👍😎😎😎
Mark thank you so much for getting along. I'm sure plenty of us were stuck at work and this video is the next best thing. Hayes get plenty of attention, maybe throw Pacifics into the mix on one of your episodes, another Canadian manufacturer who gets forgotten about.
That Hayes truck is gorgeous……..👍👍👍
My dad actually hauls logs in Montana So that logging truck at the beginning meant a lot to me that he would show a Logging truck.
The ‘belly tarp’ is to keep the engine oil temp up. Great episode !

Had two different KT’s in the 80’s. One was a 450 and the other a 600, and here was the difference I found between both of them and a small cam/big cam 400. ( we could get 400 lbs of rail pressure easily out of the 400’s)
Ok, difference… Pulling out of Trona, CA grossing 80,000 lbs, there’s a pull many miles long and runs between 5% to 7% steep. Pulling out of there, even around 4am when roads were cool, vs afternoon when outside temps were easily over 110 degrees, you could rock and roll up that pass, stop on top and literally role your hand across drive tires and the rubber would roll off in your hands.
A 400, hopped up and being careful to not heat pyro up to hot, stop on top, no rubber coming off.
The difference in torque must have been insane.
34,000 miles for a set a drive tires from the K-motors vs 125/130,000 with the 400?
I don’t know, I just thought the KTs were nothing short of a boat anchor.
1693? Gods version of beauty! Put big set of nozzles in there? Chiwawa! Nobody could see around you for a mile!!!
Black Smoke!
In the mid seventies there was a TV show called “Movin’ on” starring Claude Akins, it was about two independent truckers. Kenworth provided a new truck they just came out with in 1974 for promotion on the show. It was the W900 VIT
They needed the extra room for the in cab shots. OVERDRIVE did an article on them. The Aerodyne came out in '76
As a Bicentennial. White with Red and Blue stripes. In the 80's they reversed the paint, BLUE with White and Red stripes
For the Statue of Liberty edition.
There's one that runs a Conestoga comes to Ghent, KY hauls steel. He said there's not many left.
The made for t.v. movie that the t.v. series Movin on was spun off of was called
" in tandem " ...and it starred Claude Akins ...he drove a Cabover in that movie...but it shows how Sonny Pruitt and Will Chandler became a driving team.
I never get tired of the intro
That 3408 powered truck is on its way to Australia
Love the old school twin sticks. These young kids would have no clue in how to drive a twin. I told grand dad I wanted to drive truck. He took me out in the field and showed me the pattern twice. Said I will see back at the house. Four hours later I showed up. He said well you made it this far now let's see if you can make it to Salt Lake City. Hooked up the hay wagon and off I went.
Old freight shaker with a 290 natural and a 4x4 trans. Those where the days. I'm 66 and now going to retire this coming January. Safe travels and roads.
Wow Twin what a line up. KTA 600 says it all. I also love the Hayes tractor. Started my gear jamming on the west coast and had the chance to driver a Hayes but it was the COE version. That gold bear was some neat. Your love for the old iron really shone through in this vid and your love for the twin sticks. What a great video Twin. Thanks for posting it and going up and filming it all. More than a days work there for sure…
It’s sunny and 70 in Dundas Ontario. Looks like winter won’t let go where you are.
Dad had a '79 Freightliner long nose with an 8v92 silver and a crawl through coffin bunk. That motor was not good to the family.
Then he got a '79 W900A VIT 60" flattop. 3408 with a 13. Then put in a 6x4.
She was a runner for sure.
I always heard Hayes was a Canadian KW. Never seen one in KENTUCKY.
Old Coal buckets back home loved Cats with the Jake's and BrakeSaver
East KY coal buckets are 34ft x102 with 72" sides on a close Tri axle.
Heavy axle Petes MACKS MARMONS AND Stars. 120,000lb sticker.
Sadly coal is a shell of what it once was.
I’m overwhelmed by all the awesomeness right now… 😮amazing collection!
Coffee with twins sticks. You find the coolest most vintage trucks...
Yes love Thursdays it’s my favourite to whatch twinstick
I work with a driver that used to run a 3408 out to the West coast and back every week back in the 70's and 80's... He told me that was by far the best engine he ever ran.
My Dad brought home a brand new KW W900 day cab that had a 1693 Cat @325hp with a 9 speed. It had the torsion bar suspension. It was a Crown Zellerbach truck. That engine really has a clatter to it and smoked.
This owner had exceptional taste in trucks and for overall upkeep from
The look of things. Thanks for sharing.
I’d say you’re spot on where That shift patterns probably for the old 5 speed main box it had before the 13 went in it. Back in the day a lot of guys used to put a road ranger in those trucks when the original 4,5 or 6 speed mains wore out and just leave the auxiliary because there wasn’t any reason not too…you can leave it in direct and drive it like a 13 but you’ve got an extra overdrive and a few more gears on the bottom end to get rolling, plus the “power tower” PTO drive on those old aux boxes was perfect for mechanical winches because you had multiple speeds and reverse all built into the main transmission so the winch could be made really simple with chain drive and a reduction gearset. I’ve got my eye on a 79 Paystar 5000 winch tractors with a 350 BC1 Cummins and a “backwards” RTO-12510 and a factory installed 4 speed 1241D auxiliary behind it with a “power tower” that runs a massive Garwood winch. Gave the owner my offer just hoping he considers it, I’m about the only guy around that would actually put the thing back to work pulling a lowboy and end dump, it would match my 89’ Paystar pretty nicely too, Its got the same basic engine (although the 89’s a BC3) and rears although mine is 5.38 ratio and the tractor is 4.10’s, but I kind of like the idea of a triple digit top speed without loosing any low-hole creeping gears.
This is what my old boss' yard would look like if he had money.
He loved old trucks and he used to work them. He had a full time paint and body guy and a full time mechanic and they would pull the trucks in 1 at a time and restore them.
It was nice to drive the old 66 Pete or 65 Kenworth for a trip but I wouldn't want to do it full time.
Call me soft but you get paid the same wage to ride in air conditioning, working heater, bunk AC, air ride, extra 200hp, and you can actually hear the radio!
The 85 Western Star was so noisy you had to choose. You could either have the radio on, listen to the two-way radio, or have the window down. There was no combination of the 2
In the early 80s I worked at a kenworth dealer CP express had a bunch of day cab over trucks with KT engines hauling B train wood chip trailers quite a site and sound
Thats a belly tarp, its used to keep the engine warm in the extream cold.
I like my 1990 freightliner 3406b 13 speed. Nice collection
the c500 and the clipper absolutely beautiful in my opinion that c500 sold way to cheap
That belly tarp is mostly for heat we used to do our log trucks when we were hauling in whitecourt
Drove a W-900L in the late 70's. Looked like you had BIG picnic table out in front of you.
Drove a W-900 in the early 80's with a 1693TA it was a beast in it's time. Roll Coal.
Thank You Thank You Mark that was a gift to see everyone of those special trucks. The Hayes The KTA and the Boom Trucks were brutally big awesome and well done. I would triple like this if I could.
Man what a class act! Simply stunning collection of trucks.
Thanks for bringing us along on this one. Such beautiful trucks.
Those were some dream
trucks. Because you could
only dream of having and
driving. Trucks that old and
in remarkable shape. Great
Video.
Those were Morley Muldoon mudflaps with the bears on them. He's out of Wainwright
I wish I had that Hayes! That things nice, and old school
Your comment about some people considering the Caterpillar 1693 to be over complicated reminds me of Harry Ricardo’s reported comments about the Rolls Royce Eagle aero engine. It was apparently the most complicated aero engine to see service in WWI and by a considerable margin, the most reliable aero engine in that conflict.
cat brake savers are basically a hydraulic pump dead headed into a pressure relief valve, and a real pain in the butt to do a leaking rear structure on.
Best On The Hunt episode yet.
Now those are some Badass Old school trucks and VERY clean interiors... 👍
Whoa..... Those trucks are insane! I honestly thought they would go for more than that....
You could get the diamond tuck just about anywhere you wanted it, in different Types also . On the heater core cover, around the steering column, on the fuel tanks, front fenders, sleeper tool box doors. Other places i cant remember offhand.
Now that's a outstanding old time fleet.just beautiful workmanship back in the day......thanks for your kindness and just great jobs on your videos..........I love your channel..... just a real person not trying to fluff anything up and doing one hell of a Job........ keep on keeping on
Always love the "on the hunt" ep's! Absolutely bad ass! Thanks for a great look around!
Awesome gear! Pretty sure the W924 with the 3408 is on its way to Australia 🇦🇺
No, I’m pulling a B-train with it today!!!
Thanks for sharing
All of these trucks look VERY well maintained. Frames clean enough to eat off of. You can tell these trucks were loved for a very long time, surprised to see them at auction tbh!
my stepfather is retired now , he has worked on tractors when not picking up and delivering milk , he has never seen that type of rear suspension before , i take it is for heavy tractor axle loads
That golden bear looks like one of those hayes 50th anniversary hood ornaments
What a treat. Thanks for taking us along with ya
Thanks a lot for showing these trucks these trucks are awesome
All these are cool but that Hayes is a special treat. Unfortunately the company kept changing hands. As to the brownie shifter on the left of the main stick: they shared a parent company with Mack in the early 70s, so that's probably the reason. On the sleeper, 1975 was about the time the company got sold to Paccar, so it would make sense that some KW/Pete parts might have been used to finish out whatever Hayes trucks were still in production.
Some really nice iron there!! Jpaydirt has several good videos about the 1693. Good old Cummins slobber gotta keep a load on those kts
We run belly tarps in Northern Alberta to help keep the engine warm
KT's guzzle fuel, and some put the front axle right at maximum weight, best engine ever made. During the horsepower wars of the 70's it was Cummins answer to the 425 and the 34 08 Cat and the Silver 92 Detroit.
Thanks Mark for the awesome video I love all of his collection thanks again
Thanks for traveling far for us all to get a glimpse of this iron. A very well kept line of working trucks!
I love it when we get to go on road trips with Mark. ❤ from pnw oregon
Awesome job showing these beauties!
What a collection of trucks and the 3408 and the kb 600
A fleet anyone would be proud to own.👍👍👍
You sure know how to make a fellers day. When I seen these on Instagram I tagged you saying hope to see these and here they are. Thanks for all the great videos twin stick
What a beautiful collection of trucks. That man must of cried selling all his babies.
We had a lot old 1693 in yarders and old line log loaders, absolutely bomb 💣 proof
That's a real fine I had a 350 9 years ago with that 1693 on it was one of the best trucks I ever had and it's pulled a house down you have a great day keep up the good work God bless you
I love this one!!! Come on man !! You could afford one of those beautiful trucks 😂😂
Just a belly tarp to keep it warm in the cold we do some of our trucks to
Good morning Twinsticks garage fam ..Mark you never cease to amaze me sir ...love all your vids for true I do!... beautiful trucks...last truck went for a mint didn't it ...but ..as they say about most things these days "they just ain't making many 81'$ these days..c'mon 🤘🇨🇦✝️🇨🇦
I noticed at 26.17 sec the "Seattle Pack" splendor trim dash pad used upside down tucked under the sunvisors. As others have previously stated in your other episodes. Guess they could have used it either on the dash top or under the windscreen overhead.
Those battery box step covers were originally optioned for both left and right.
Love that Hayes, about the only other engine we didn't see was a Allis Chalmers.
Thanks Mark great content as usual.
thank you so much for doing an" In the hunt". I loved these trucks. The best is the 3408. I hoped to have have one some day soon. I know it doesn't make sense in today world. but I would run it. thank you
Mornin Mark, I love those old trucks I have driven a truck almost exactly the same as each one of those but I have never driven a KTA, but I worked alongside a few of them and they are a beast. Great video Mark see you on the next one
Very nice fleet! Hope the sale was not precipitated by family sadness. Thanks for the coverage. Take care.
Some lovely old trucks there
The tarp under the K is for heat. Can't keep them warm in the winter. The factory rad in my 359 has 8 rows and the KTA water pump pushes 220 gal/min at 2100. My truck has shutter and STILL needs a winterfront and belly tarp below zero. But I can full pull a mountain at 30 above andand not break 200 degrees...
Thanks for the video. I remember hearing about the auction and hoping you would do an “on the hunt” Very cool old iron…
Fastest 30 minutes video ever. Enjoyed so much time flew by.
Love these on the hunt series!
Turbo on these will blow your mind.
Wow memories the second KW you looked at is really close to the 1st KW conventional I ever got to drive, with a boom almost like that one no sleeper just a day cab, was owned by P.N.B. fell hopelessly in love with PACCAR and K.W's ever since.😊
I do miss that T800 I ran for Firestone.
O/O spec Company truck. Steering wheels should still be big 3spoke and White. and there should still be Twin sticks in the floor. With wing windows in the doors.
Wow!Really beautiful trucks.Thank you so much for the video,I hope you could buy that truck. Take care of you, wish you all the best!
I would have bought that w924 hd with the 3408 cat in a heart beat that is a beast of a truck
That's some Beautiful Trucks.You might be adding another door to your shop 🙄🤔 Seriously another Great Video for Thursday Morning have a Awesome Day until next week 👋
It’s funny. When you asked what was under the hood in the W924HD, I was chanting “3408, 3408!” Yeah!
You make my Thursdays so much better
The 1693 is a modified d343 for trucks, the d343 is used in a variety of older cat equipment such as 988a, 637 front 657& 666 rear, 825 and I believe d8 up t o the k model as well as marine propulsion. A very proven engine
Not sure about the older D8’s but at least the D8K’s had D342’s. Little bit different. Then they went to the D353’s for the D9H’s.
Very cool Kenworth W924HD W900A C500 trucks Mark. I've never seen a KTA 600 400Ci 425H.P. Sweet vintage iron!!
KTA-600 is 1150 ci and 600 hp.
Sweet trucks
Wow some very rare and nice equipment.
Nice 👍
There is a Hayes 100 year anniversary this summer in Port Albernie in July 30/31 weekend.
Very good video, was hoping to see a better look at these trucks, thank you.
awesome job, The belly tarp keep the frost away and like you said keep site/lease clean
WOW 😳😳😳
The secondary trailer brake hand valve could be running the winch band brake, provided no brake saver...
