Thanks Mates
Out of all the cylinder configurations of the Detroit engines, the 6V sounds the best! The 8V is nice but sounds a bit more restrained, the 3 and 4 cylinder motors have very raspy exhaust notes, the 12 and 16V are on the smooth end of the sound scale but all unique in their own right.
That power steering box is certainly going to make this truck easier to drive, paint looks great too!
Looks very close in colour to the original 53 series, I am a little more anal and would probably have brush painted it with enamel paint to avoid the overspray look if it was my engine, brush painting turns up really well but is much more time consuming. Turned out well though looks awesome! Cheers from the Mornington Peninsula 👍
Left hand drill should get it out
Are you sure that's a cab over to me it looks like it has a hood cab over mens cab over engine
After some decades, the braided airlines get corrosion in them, get very stiff and break. lots of work, but very worth it. Doubt Kenworth will ever make trucks as good as they were from the 1970's to the late 1980's.
Man i love cabovers good on ya mate for saving the old girl
I worked in ALBERTA OIL FIELDS , OUR FRACK PUMPTRUCK RAN 12 V 149,, 4 TURBOS , YOU COULD HEAR THEM AT 2150 RPMS FOR 10 MILES . 10 INCH STRAIGHT STACKS WITH FLAPPER CAPS
Vise grips kid
2 two words "dust buster" hahah love that sound.
thats a blokes heaven yard
No but a good show anyway
Ive alwasy thought rhe 6v92 was the beat sounding detroit.. also the most underappreciated
❤when i hear a detroit 2 stroker, goosebumps 👍🏻👍🏻
Hey up mate cool love it, always liked Euclid's which engine has this one got
@@johngibson3837 hey mate this one has a kt19 @450hp
@@dieseldownunder. Sweet mate
I used to herd an OLD R-35 with a 2-cycle 12-V 71 Detriot/GM, a 6-speed Allison automatic and a retarder. NO brakes. Hauled a lot of stuff from settling ponds at the crusher and from the shovel. They had 40 ton Terex trucks with Cummins and electric shift Allisons. The old truck was MUCH better..
The Reminds be of what an Old Mate used to say to me, lucky their in a Box son.
Really enjoy your Videos, great smile when ya have a win, 4 new glow plugs for Christmas would've done the trick.
Swedish style Scania inline-6 DC13 pure heaven
Curious to know why you would've drove the float out of harms way.Earlier.
Mount it on that old IH track loader. Throw the IH engine out and put in a hyd motor. I made one works ok. Just keep moving along when it fills up underneath.
Howdy 🤠 from the Northwoods of Minnesota. Lots of good material
Love it mate Are you scrapping the lnt ? I need an engine for my Louis
Can we get more of Stuart singing? Reminds me of him at the Geelong Hotel in the 90's
Just checking on the Jake brakes for the Cummins 903
You’ve taken a lot if treasure outta there, hopefully it can go to saving others, or carry on making someone a living! Plenty stuff to keep your content busy!
Good viewing. Bit jealous of you. Love the old dozer and traxcavaters. Good job and hope you have more to share.
Definitely some treasures there mate! That Mack looks like you could put it straight back on the road, love the “does it have air con and Jake’s”😂 hope you did well out of these yards mate💪🏻🤙🏻
Hey up nice work on that yard mate enjoyed your video thanks
In fitzory crossing I arive on a site. With the same old ford. Duct tape the water hose. 1 km to the tip. Concrete yard in derby wa. Then owner say drive to fitzory crossing. 300km away. In 45dc temp. I beg. Put low loader. No in tow ute and trailer. Water oil fuel. Front window rusted out. What killed it no dash . And intera hot water vale failed. All the water ran away. And i cracked the heads. Reales bracks. Pull axle. Hard line connection. Tow 250 km to fitzory crossing. Old ford will not tie if not for humans hehe.
Sorry bad spelling sorry
The owner 85 years old lived in Perth. Had not Sean his workshop in ten years. Salt water 45 demp. All gone to s. My new position
To say understand your video. 100 percent understand. And multabe project to your channel I love. Mick the gong. )
Only two glow plugs on a 4. Good onya keep crank. )
For lol did it vibrate?
Money for projects. Good onya mate ) no a life time of projects for your channel. Smile. ) Forget the story of this. A man that could not let a good thing go. No words. )
Money for projects. Good onya mate )
Thank as said. Money to be made. Sec in. God bless mate 👍
Hi Jake @dieseldownunder , that Komatsu excavator that has the blow by look up COST EFFECTIVE MAINTENANCE truckies blow by treatment, you will thank me later i swear by this stuff and it has saved many a rebuild on multiple vehicles . Yet again another cool video thanx for the quality.
Nice, there were some gems in that yard. But when an engine hasn’t ran for years is it wise to start and rev it straight away? Especially not knowing what the cylinders look like, or if it’s about to suck a heap,of crap or water in?
Hey mate there sure was! Which one was that? I think the crane I gave it abit of a rev we checked all the filters ect before starting so knew that it should be ok, we had been trying to prime it up for quite a while so it had fired on a number of occasions for 10-15 seconds it wasn’t the first start, it’s just hard to show everything in the videos without making them too long Cheers
@@dieseldownunder. all good mate I know not everything’s filmed so shouldn’t of brought it up. I was just surprised about how much of the gear started straight up especially the 3208, did the owner day everything should start or were you going into it thinking everything would most likely be scrap?
interested in selling crusher?
Everything is for sale for the right price but I really would like to set it up and use it so would have to be a very reasonable offer Cheers
Great video Jake,really enjoyed it,hope you get your fair share of perks out of all the old junk!!!
Thanks Pete there’s a few things that will stay in the yard that we will use which is great!
Hey Jake,good video as always,A few more projects for you now ,good to see some of the machinery running and moving,nice job of the yard clean up and finishing off,thanks for sharing as it would be enough work without videoing
Thanks mate it was a lot of work I would have loved to video more and make it into a mini series but it does add a lot of time recording and my phone was already full as it was! Thanks for watching
Hi Jake looks like you got a great haul out of that yard. Got just about everything to run always a plus. Stay cool
Thanks mate there was plenty that didn’t run and make the cut but glad we got a few things up and running! Cheers
Woohoo ! That´s some proper good stuff you´ve hauled out of there Jake ! Not even ten minutes into the video and the first one starts straight up too, and the next one etc. Them 16 v´s were nice as well. Wish I had been there to assist mate. It´s the stuff of dreams really ! Cheers, Ard
Hey mate! Yep really happy with how it all went and it’s a lot of fun getting things running and finding different things as you go! I should have sold tickets for people to come help and I could have taken it easy😉😂
Well, the trip there would have been more than enough "ticket" for me ! 😅 But anyway, I'll be looking forward to the more regular scheduled program ! Cheers, Ard
Hi from all your viewers from France,maaate the salvage gods were on your side on that job,awesome video.
Hey mate thanks for watching! They sure were plenty of treasure in this one🙏🏻
Gday Jake, absolutely bloody awesome, hard to believe those machines started and drove out, plenty of good finds there mate, awesome as always, cheers
Hey Matty thanks for watching! Yep I didn’t think some of them would start especially that Toyota Huski skid steer😂 Cheers mate
The Grove crane is a 471 you can tell by the rocker cover bolts are around the outside 71 series has the bolts from the top so did the 92 series I would love to see one of those 16 V 71 in a truck that would be awesome. They Sounds so good. 😊That Louis with the 3208 that's a good find
Hey mate so is it a 453 or 71? I always get mixed up between the two if 471 have boots through the top then this one should be a 453 because it has the screws around the outside? The 16v71 would look good in that little cabover kenworth I’ve got I reckon! Thanks for watching mate!
@@dieseldownunder. Sorry I said 471 I meant to say 453. They have the bolts around the outside of the rocker cover which that one does, 71 series has them down from the top in the centre of the rocker cover and yes you're right. I was thinking the same thing that 16v71 would look good in that cab over Kenworth that you've. got.
Well done guys
What happened to the Takeuchi excavator bodies ? i have a Takeuchi Tb070 and wouldnt mind a couple of drive motors .
I brought both of them back to the yard I have enough parts to make 1 good one and will have a heap of spares left over, send me an email info@dieseldownunder.net and I can send you some pics Cheers
Keen on the Mack if you’re selling it

Hi jake the trucks are my picks an the ford is the one i would have an steels not cheap so what a score . Cheers mate
