One of my favorite things about this channel (specifically the KW and the Audi) is the budget decisions. And the mess. It feels real. Awesome antidote to sanitized hyper builds. (and I'm glad you're not going to loose the shop)
"Hey, you know how we are working our butts off trying to get three projects to a car show next week? Let's also put out a 1 hour video during that time." Rich and Aaron, you guys are awesome.
Pro tip for the future don’t leave anything in the cab when you’re raising it I’ve had things fall from the footwell of a truck and smash the windshield
I once upon a time knew a guy who was so proud of his new snake skin boot that he wouldn't wear them, he would set them up high on the dog house for everyone to see, and he slammed on the brakes and his boots cracked the windshield, be smarter than him, he also once bought a monkey for his wife and thought I can get the company to pay for it, so he had it written up as a monkey wrench for $100 back in the early 80"s that didn't go over well either
After watching this it gives me appreciation for the folks that work on these trucks for a living as everything is kingsize and not easy to move without forklifts, etc.
@@aaronhall7740 the job certainly takes a toll on the body after many years of doing it . I used to like the when the odd COE would come in for tranny or engine work so much easier with the cab removed from the equation.
I held my breath when you said that 13 speed was the same as the 10, "just 3 extra gears." The back half of the trans on a 13 speed has a whole additional set of gears and an extra shifter for splitting, and is a whole lot bigger than the back half on a 10. Guess you found that out. . .!!!! Hopefully by now you've also remembered/discovered that you need a different shift knob mechanism and additional nylon air line as you now have an extra piston to move on the back half for the splitter!!
FYI, you can ratchet strap the cab back over centre. You can also use a ratchet strap to stop the cab lowering over center if the hydraulics are leaky.
Rich, everyone is a expert as I have personally witnessed myself. Working in the logging camps in southeast Alaska gave me the knowledge... that no two trucks fall together the same way. But that said, this is the first time for me to see the transmission come in from the top. They need to invent a narrow ratchet strap thats got the same strength and yet not get in the way.. I know you have done this a few times and even so found the test runs didn't really go like planned on the final step. I used to find myself holding my breath till a bolt would start. Thank you for the most real install going yet on the internet and congrats on making this a truck again. Heaven forbid some other hidden agenda is lurking behind the scenes
There is. I have a pile of half width ratchet straps that are almost the same rating. In saying that, an actual lifting strap is way thinner and easier to work with but you can't adjust the length
Always have a safety catch chain on the cab to frame when going over center with the cab. There can be air in the hydraulic lines. In free fall the cab can pull the cab rams apart.
We have a similar but different set up here in the uk 99% of the trucks we use are cab overs that are literally a dash, seat then bed in the back, when the cabs go over centre it’s alarmingly sketchy lol the best I’ve seen are the pneumatic electric pump operated systems you can control it from bottom to top
Another trick is leaving something in the cab or sleeper and having it cascade forward and down as the cab tips forward, breaking the windshield or smashing something in the dash.
The K model was the most beautiful truck ever made in my opinion back in 1973. The only KW I ever drove, however, was a 1990 T-600 "Anteater". The last cabover I drove was a 1990 Freightliner - the one that I was almost killed in and the one that ended my OTR career. Cabovers have a faulty design that make them dangerous to drive. A side impact could twist the cab beyond the capabilities of the cab locks to do what they were designed to do, allowing forward momentum to flip the cab over where the driver can be seriously injured or killed. This is what happened to me on April 28, 1992. 3 days after the accident I came to in the hospital and was told that they "lost me" 3 times. Every bone in my body above the waste was either broken or separated and a fractured skull blinded me in the right eye (ending my career). I spent 2 years recuperating and had to start my working career at the bottom - very depressing after investing so much time, money, and effort. Even if I could drive again, I'd never go near a cab over again.
Hey. She’s looking great. Tech tip for future trans installs. Cut the heads off a couple of long bolts and thread them into the back of the engine. Use them as guides/studs through the trans bell housing as you walk the trans up to the engine, helps keep everything square and lined up. Throw some grease on the said studs and be real careful to keep your angles good and the weight off the studs so you dont bend them or worse break the back of the engine. This helps aligning the plates for the last portion of the trans install.
That used to be my job when we were putting new engines and transmissions in semi trucks. Oh to be 19 again and driving around with an engine almost heavier than the forklift. OSHA would not have been pleased. I can still hear the boss directing me with a Cummins 400 hanging from the forks. "Tilt the boom just a smidge forward", "sorry no can do" "than hop off and come help me" "sorry, no can do" "why?" "Cuz the steer tires aren't touching the ground but now and then!" "Ah crap we got to take the front tire off then so we can get closer". 😂 Lol
Brilliant guys well done getting that transmission installed. I’m 60 years old now and stay clear of big trucks but you made me smile and brought back lots of good memories as back in the day I was one of those people laying on my back changing transmissions and clutches etc mainly on Ford, Leyland and Scania trucks here in the UK. Keep up the great content and I can’t wait to see this beast up and running 😀👍🏻👍🏻
The best part of installing an engine is when you see the tension come off of the chains and it's in it's final resting place. A great sense of accomplishment 👍
For alignment of transmission to engine, I cut bolt heads off of two or three bolts. Grind a cone on end of headless bolts. Then thread the headless bolts into engine. Then slip transmission on to headless bolts. Slide transmission to engine. Start other bolts Then remove headless bolts. You are good to go.
I enjoyed the simple footage of the guys just working and communicating with each other. Sometimes you don’t need a lot of editing and music. I hope they do more of this in the future.
for people wondering about blue light lol, big factories or small too, alot of them in warehouses or places that can be darker, they use theses bluelights on various machine to prevent collision at the end of an aisle if someone dont stop, also let pedestrian know that a machine is coming.
Awesome Job, In my book putting that Cat back in that truck looked like Art Work it was so Damn good. Please keep up the Great Videos for your loyal fans/followers like me. Thank you!
It's a beauty Rich !!! Although it's not fair to compare American cabovers with the European trucks, it is a beautiful truck in my opinion...Congratulations for all the outcome !! All NEW !!Bravo !!
That was the "finger of Rich" putting that input shaft in the pilot bearing.. never have them go in that easy..lol... getting close guy's...thx for the update
That went pretty good considering how big and heavy all this stuff is. It does help that you two know what your doing, I think it's coming along great.
Keep up the good work. Doing one hell of a job. I found that it’s a little easier to hang the clutch on the trans and then bolt it to flywheel after the trans is installed you don’t need as much room to slide them up and down that way. Just giving you some ideas for the next time
I'm at work right now putting in a trans in a personal hauler. Doing it on the ground from underneath with absolutely no room to see, move or work. I'm jealous you guys can stand there and put bolts in! Cab overs are great for that reason!
Hey rich I'm just watching this half way through and wanted to mention that I like the fact that you are explaining your methods to your helper there and not just to the camera (audience) , I hope to see more of this. Keep it up guys thanks
Kevin's backup alarm is loud! I put a piece of tape over my golf cart alarm and it dulls it down but you can still hear it. It used to scare the cows but now they get spooked only when I roll up with the electric cart un-noticed!
You owe those guys a 12 pack each of their favorite barely based beverage! I just wish I had one friend like that. Good for you blokes. Who says bro-love ain't real✊
I feel so sorry for all those Airlines that after about 2 to 3 years are going to be so brittle and you're going to raise that cab up one time like that and just start snapping all them Airlines edit....your lucky the engine was out so you could install that radiator with relative ease. my ol man and i would take them out from the front by hand. i love this build! its been so cool you taking us along for an awesome ride! How cool is that!
It's real funny when the microwave rotating dish breaks loose, pops the door open goes through the front window... I washed semis while I was in high school, we had a maintenance contract with one of the wobble box delivery companies in Elkhart or Goshen, Indiana. One of the drivers had a K100 and he would never let anyone drive it. We had no problem with Reese Hitch's show truck, a big old Peterbuilt, but noooo, can't drive his cigar stinkin' K100... Ironically it was the color of your frame.
Great stuff, ONE recommendation, Amazon sells these amazing head lamps, like 2 for 20, last most the day, I wear one all the time now while working, can see so much better.
Riche you gotta build yourself a gantry crane. You can purchase a used one at a pretty decent price were it won't break the bank, you might have to modified it some what to fit your shop but in the long run it will save you a huge amount of time and lets be honest here Time is money right. Than you won't have to mess around with fork lifts and take forever to get things done.
The tuck looks great. In relation to the fork lift Side shift.... I would think that the upper bushes are worn out Have been working on those Toyota units for over 30 years and the side shift does work even if the back wheels leave the planet Like all the posts Rich Gaday from Australia
When I was working on big rigs I found that it was cheaper in most cases to get a remanufactured change over Eaton box than start trying to source all the individual rebuild parts for a competitive price.
Love seeing the progress on this rig. Keep up the hard work! Also real glad I bought 2 tape bosses before I couldn't lol I leave the wife messages on 1 before I head to work and then I listen to what her response is in the morning when I get home lol the other one I leave at work for more work related information lol
As much of a pain in the ars it was to put the rad in i hope it got new bushings.. Ive worked on trucks for 30 years ..im no expert ..have learned a lot and experienced what to do and what not to do love your passion and your project and will continue watching cheers rich
I can remember working at KW Australia, you would always see cab over come in for service and the clutch linkage would never be greased ( always missed) 😂😂
Love the way it's coming together, closer and closer you get. Can't wait to see you fire that old girl up. Was wondering, are you going to rock guard on the bottom of the cab? That would look good for when you lift the cab up. Great video, now i can't wait for the next one...
I see now - building a custom semi is exactly like building a custom car except the parts are 10x as expensive/20x more likely to result in your gruesome death/dismemberment if they fall on you! Looking good, Rich!

"Hey, you know how we are working our butts off trying to get three projects to a car show next week? Let's also put out a 1 hour video during that time." Rich and Aaron, you guys are awesome.
Its 1 hour because Its not a normal video.Less edited and more of a stream vod type
That one hour video could have taken 12+ hours or a couple days to create. Then and equal or more amount of time to edit
Pro tip for the future don’t leave anything in the cab when you’re raising it I’ve had things fall from the footwell of a truck and smash the windshield
Pro tip for you kick the tires and fire her up and HAMMER DOWN
Sounds like a personal experience lol
I once upon a time knew a guy who was so proud of his new snake skin boot that he wouldn't wear them, he would set them up high on the dog house for everyone to see, and he slammed on the brakes and his boots cracked the windshield, be smarter than him, he also once bought a monkey for his wife and thought I can get the company to pay for it, so he had it written up as a monkey wrench for $100 back in the early 80"s that didn't go over well either
LoL... seen a 12" TV fly through the windshield once! TV broke once it hit the concrete!
Ouch!
After watching this it gives me appreciation for the folks that work on these trucks for a living as everything is kingsize and not easy to move without forklifts, etc.
Got to be strong enough and smart enough or else you break yourself haha
@@aaronhall7740 the job certainly takes a toll on the body after many years of doing it . I used to like the when the odd COE would come in for tranny or engine work so much easier with the cab removed from the equation.
My uncle would have been one of the guys driving a riding mower around Dunnville 😆....R.I.P Uncle Tomahawk
I love the editing on this video, makes you feel like your there with them!
I agree!!!
I held my breath when you said that 13 speed was the same as the 10, "just 3 extra gears." The back half of the trans on a 13 speed has a whole additional set of gears and an extra shifter for splitting, and is a whole lot bigger than the back half on a 10. Guess you found that out. . .!!!! Hopefully by now you've also remembered/discovered that you need a different shift knob mechanism and additional nylon air line as you now have an extra piston to move on the back half for the splitter!!
I was saying the same thing...the extra gears make it bigger..
Same as the 10 as in same final drive ratio out the back. It's just extra gears.
Let’s GOOO!!!!
By far my favorite project on TH-cam right now!
Out of all I watch he’s the only one Actually finish his projects

@@BangorBmxGang it is a mechanic who came out to me years ago when I was driving a MAN wiped out the front grill forgetting it was open 😂
Another trick is leaving something in the cab or sleeper and having it cascade forward and down as the cab tips forward, breaking the windshield or smashing something in the dash.
And make sure you have everything secured and not loose... or you will quickly see it zip past.
Thank You Rich for putting another cabover back on the road. I miss seeing them on the highways. Beautiful truck man!
You are a model of patience!! Great example of what it really takes to be a superb mechanic/technician.
I wonder how many projects, just like this, your followers will attempt to duplicate. None probably. You are one brave Canadian.
One of my favorite parts of this channel is the unique intro for each build and that it's almost always added to as it progresses

Cool, great vid!! 👍👍👍
Rich has the right attitude. Laugh at the problems. It's so much better for your mental health and relationships than getting mad.
I need to rewatch this series and count how many times Rich has said "get Vince to weld that" lol

Your presentation ,commentary and editing make you videos just plain fun to watch .
That's got to be the heaviest clutch that I have ever seen, what a monster.
Love watching friends working together!
i actually really enjoyed this more "raw" style of a video. it feels more real
Very good communication between forklift operator(Rich) and your buddy when jnstalling the rad. Top notch!👍🇨🇦

Living my dream of restoring a cabover Kenworth. Looks so good!
I want an international from the mid 90's, my dad drove them back then, I don't want to drive it or should I say work it, stay strong
If the feedback says I disliked this video...it's very wrong. I loved it.
Stay safe everyone 🤘😎
Best wishes to you and all ❤️
so, because you liked it - everybody will like it - got it
You're a machine man. I love how hard you work
The best part of installing an engine is when you see the tension come off of the chains and it's in it's final resting place. A great sense of accomplishment 👍
that's quiet an achievement rich, thanks for bringing us along
THIS IS THE BEST CHANNEL OUT HERE. YOU HAVE DONE AN ABSOLUTE AMAZING JOB ON THIS RIG CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT FINISHED SO SO BADD ASS...

Then remove headless bolts. You are good to go.
Coming down to the wire! Sure looks different with the engine and transmission installed. Thank you for recording, really enjoying this build.
my heart skipped a beat when that cab passed the tipping point!
I enjoyed the simple footage of the guys just working and communicating with each other. Sometimes you don’t need a lot of editing and music. I hope they do more of this in the future.
“Get Vince to weld that “ Rich favourite words haha ... really enjoy your videos bud .
bloody hell Rich !!! I took a step back from my screen when you lifted that engine just to be safe, great job mate.!!!
It's brilliant watching this kenworth come together for another life a fine job your doing cheers from England 🇬🇧.
Watching this right as the countdown ended! Never been this early to a video!
Hey Rich, keep up the good work! All your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed to us viewers, you’re killing it.
Amazing effort rich and team 💪 this is the best build on TH-cam by far! Well done from Scotland 🏴
for people wondering about blue light lol, big factories or small too, alot of them in warehouses or places that can be darker, they use theses bluelights on various machine to prevent collision at the end of an aisle if someone dont stop, also let pedestrian know that a machine is coming.
I’ve raised quite a few cabs over center and my heart races every single time I hit that tipping point
Awesome Job, In my book putting that Cat back in that truck looked like Art Work it was so Damn good. Please keep up the Great Videos for your loyal fans/followers like me. Thank you!
Everybody who leaves a comment and hits the like will literally be helping Rich make the truck even nicer...Now do it!
It's a beauty Rich !!! Although it's not fair to compare American cabovers with the European trucks, it is a beautiful truck in my opinion...Congratulations for all the outcome !! All NEW !!Bravo !!
Friendly tip: Before cutting the bolt thread the nut pass where you plan to cut, and when you cut it take it off, and it will clear the threads.
Mesmerizing work and commentary.
I'm puzzled by the economics of it, but entertained none the less.
That was a big milestone, downhill from there 👍

7:02 the blue light is so other people on a busy loading dock and see youre about to back out of a trailer
Or out of a row in a warehouse or production facility
Wow, monster project, keeping patience in check is getting harder I think. Looking very nice
"We'll get Vince to weld that" should honestly be on a T-shirt for this truck! LOL
Yup this is by far one of my favorites That you've done

I loved cab overs when I used to work on those....
that was fun to watch!! Great job
Your buddy looks like the Canadian mechanic version of Jeremy Renner. Great video guys!
Great stuff, ONE recommendation, Amazon sells these amazing head lamps, like 2 for 20, last most the day, I wear one all the time now while working, can see so much better.
Riche you gotta build yourself a gantry crane. You can purchase a used one at a pretty decent price were it won't break the bank, you might have to modified it some what to fit your shop but in the long run it will save you a huge amount of time and lets be honest here Time is money right. Than you won't have to mess around with fork lifts and take forever to get things done.
Looking good can’t wait to see the finished version.
You guys need to discover the wonders of the Spud Wrench when lining up holes. :)
The tuck looks great.
In relation to the fork lift Side shift....
I would think that the upper bushes are worn out
Have been working on those Toyota units for over 30 years and the side shift does work even if the back wheels leave the planet
Like all the posts Rich
Gaday from Australia
When I was working on big rigs I found that it was cheaper in most cases to get a remanufactured change over Eaton box than start trying to source all the individual rebuild parts for a competitive price.
Am missing you working on customer equipment and figuring how to fix. Now it's all about building custom projects
When installing transmissions I always measure the gap at the top and the bottom, get it close and they go right in most of the time.
I can't wait to see this truck finished
Been trying to figure out why I like this, reminds me of working with Dad
:)
Love seeing the progress on this rig. Keep up the hard work! Also real glad I bought 2 tape bosses before I couldn't lol I leave the wife messages on 1 before I head to work and then I listen to what her response is in the morning when I get home lol the other one I leave at work for more work related information lol
awesome, love it. Glad you like it!
Love your stuff. Great choice of a truck to rebuild--Love 3406 Bs. God Speed
As much of a pain in the ars it was to put the rad in i hope it got new bushings..
Ive worked on trucks for 30 years ..im no expert ..have learned a lot and experienced what to do and what not to do love your passion and your project and will continue watching cheers rich
Great vid, u guys had me nervous with the radiator. I have a cocktail now , carry on.
Loved that engine.
Absolutely beautiful cabover 👌👌👌
I can remember working at KW Australia, you would always see cab over come in for service and the clutch linkage would never be greased ( always missed) 😂😂
Duuuudddde I almost had a heart attack watching you tilt that cab I was puckered the hole time
Love the way it's coming together, closer and closer you get. Can't wait to see you fire that old girl up. Was wondering, are you going to rock guard on the bottom of the cab? That would look good for when you lift the cab up. Great video, now i can't wait for the next one...
