- Found this old 1980 W900A in the weeds and left for dead. We got her going and home with a few complications. Come along with me and see if we can get her fixed up and put back to work
855 is the cubic inch displacement (CID) small cam big cam is the size of the cam the big cam has larger cam covers on the left side.
300hp was common in LTL freight trucks in the early 80's.
That is your lubrifiner oil filter, as you’ve well learned. Not 100% critical, but recommended to keep oil capacity.
The tank thing is a oil bypass (luberfiner) seriously find a 12v starter and lose that damn parallel switch and the 6V batteries 3 12v series 31 will start it a lot more reliably
CPL cummins parts list #< that will tell you what engine prob. a 300hp but you could get up to 400 out of an 855 aftercooled More fuel and different turbo
electric city horns , that 12/24 is called a parallel switch, a parallel switch is a piece of shit ,convert it to 12V
Big cam will say on the left side of the block .855 is the cubic in ntc300 is the horsepower 1980 should be a big cam 2 if the engine was not changed luberfiner bypass oil filter
@@ricknimmo4304Thanks, I'll have to look for those numbers and let you know. That's a HUGE bypass filter.
That's a luberfiner oil cooler and is a filter
855 cubes 300 hp .see if you can read the cpl #on the tag,it will tell all about the motor. Black luberfiner on the frame
I'll see if I can find that information on the tag. So why is there an extra filter and that big? Was that an Era thing, likke they quit using those in the '90s? Thanks for the help.
This is a good truck
300 formula motor 855 cubic inch big cam blue button is axillary airtank
@@RobertSlaven-x3i we did find out it only controls the front brakes also, I love this old stuff, ha.
This was probably a fleet truck in it's day for hiway use. All minimum options.why it's got a 9 speed and a small cam 300. Cool project. Biggest upgrade you could do is get ridículo of the rear wheels , they are a knightmar. Go to buddy wheels like the front.
@@stacytoledo5905 I sure would like to change the rear hubs. The only benefit of these was on the way home we could switch the rear tires with minimal tools because of the blow outs.
@@stacytoledo5905 oh, and yes, it was originally sold to UP railroad in Council Bluffs IA and traded in and sold to the previous owner out of Kearney NE
Change back I'd give me an ice cream cut off. Change it back to semi and I found one. Do you use a dumb body? Find another truck and confer put on there. Cause that truck the look good is the same as
We are going to use the dump on the truck, but bringing her back to a tractor status is not out of the question, I like where your mind is. Luckily we have the Peterbuilt to pull trailers in the meantime. The Pete has A/C for the long trips, thats a plus.
Big cam will say on the left side of the block .855 is the cubic in ntc300 is the horsepower 1980 should be a big cam 2 if the engine was not changed
300 horse tan cumin are big that look like me to be a 400 big cam
@@billyking1678 that sounds good to me, as much as I know about it I couldn't say you wrong, lol. I'm sure I'll need corrected along with some help in some of these videos, so thanks for helping out
This is a 400 Big Cam. The NTC-300 stands for 300 HP version of the 855. This might be a Big Cam II, as they debuted in 1979.
@@PatientXero607 this is all starting to make sense, and then you had to say a big cam ll? Lol. I'm going to have to take a better look at the tag for you all, cause you all are a big help. Thanks
That's a lubifiner for motor oil
That driver side frame mounted vertical tank looking thing is the luberfiner which normally is mounted on the driver side cab area where the air cleaner is if it is a single air cleaner.
@@josephcox4319 interesting, now I wonder why it's where it is, and yes, single air filter. Was duel air cleaners an option?
@@secondchanceiron6123 Yes, you could get dual air cleaners as an option but most people that ordered a plain Jane usually had a Detroit or smaller Cummins and to cut cost they had bare essential options.
The missing blue knob is tractor only parking brake. The big filter out behind the driver side fuel tank is a luberfiner oil filter.
@@1951spanky that would make sense, I haven't tried to see what gets set up with just that one pulled. I'll try that, thanks
@@secondchanceiron6123 it was kind of a Kenworth thing. They were the only ones that I know of that did it.. You can buy conversions to switch that big luberfiner to a smaller one that does the same thing ,but don’t take up nearly as much space.
I have a batt box cover and some original upper step for the fuelbtank if your interested.
@@RMTTR640 where abouts? I'm in Nebraska
Im up in bismarck nd
Where in Nebraska are you?
@@RMTTR640 south of Lincoln
Looks like a big cam Cummins
@@tonyasmith6596 I sure don't know. I'll say big cam, just sounds better. Lol
