Hi Jon yes mate they sound great. I just worry about electrolysis with them. They were bad for it. I had a 3070 inter with one in it and I replaced one liner and found after that the next one along was also starting to drip.
I reckon the 903’s were one of the best sounding engines (for a 4 stroke) period and remember them powering a range of trucks along with the myriad Detroits (and UD’s) in tippers to coaches back in the day, I remember fondly going on a few trips with my older brothers father in law down to Orbost in Victoria’s East Gippsland region as a young bloke when he drove for the Manufacturers Bottle Company which was a division of Carlton & United Breweries Ltd. Back in the early 1970’s when he drove the Leyland Mandator collecting crates of empty beer bottles to be taken back to Melbourne to be put thru the bottle washer to be reused when they were nearing the end of their service lives and recall it being a reliable but noisy droning old girl and then he got a new prime mover, an International ACCO 3070 A with the Cummins 903 V8 and what a grouse unit (I thought anyway) with its Road Ranger man it sounded and looked the ducks nuts back back then and handled the loads with absolute ease, great memories indeed!
I remember the days when Lindsay brothers had a fleet of those LNT,s bagging you up at a dollar twenty +, they were putting one over every week to, always liked the 903 its amazing to think that the 903 is over 50 yrs old, they still make them in the states for the military (in tanks) putting out 600 + hp with air to air after cooling and a 750 bhp twin turbo version, shame they dont put them in trucks anymore. keep up the good work steve.
Thanks Ned yes I believe they went well. I think they were only 290 hp in the Louisville. I may be wrong. I was told they were banned in some of the states in the USA because of emissions but again I could be wrong. Hopefully I can get one on the road. That’s big horsepower in the tanks compared to the trucks
@@stevesplacedownunder Another good upload. The natural 903s were 295hp in the LNT 9000s and 320hp in the ACCO 3070s later they were 350hp and called VT350s this was around the Cummins formula period in the early to mid 1980s when Detroit's went silver. I remember Lindsay Bros very well as I live opposite the Bruce highway when I was a kid
I haven’t really looked to hard mate as there are other jobs before it but I know that he’s done an LTL, which are the same apart from a few small differences. I will put the word out through the club. He’s in our club
Hey Steve, I worked in coal mining for 13 years. Some underground and the rest on the surface. I did about 4 years shunting and loco driving moving the coal from one place to another, the Hunslet locos had 388HP Cummins engines in them that sounded great. One is now in the National Coalmining Museum being renovated. I will try to take some footage of it running next time I go to the museum. If I can arrange with the mate who is doing the work on it, he will fire the old girl up for me. Cheers Steve,take care, Norm in the UK.
Hi Norm that’s great. I would love a job on a loco shunting. It looks like it would be good. We’re they v8 Cummins do you mean mate? That would be good if you can get some footage of the restoration and it running, and let me know. I’d be very interested. Thanks for commenting Norm. Good to talk
@@stevesplacedownunder Hi Steve, I will try to find out. Propably take a little while as I have to speak with the bloke who is doing the work on her. Certainly not V8s. I think in line 6s if I recall correctly. It is 'locked in' at the moment so can't move anywhere, working on trying to get rails laid to be able to demo it but as it is a charity venture, it is always difficult. Will see what I can do. Cheers mate. Norm.
Great video again Steve. The Ford is a great Truck to drive . You should always figure on a short startup video when it's a Cummins, they seem to have no problem firing up. Oh by the way mate those were my beers you found on the seat in that dump truck😃 Cheers!
Gday Neil. Yes mate they always start up easy. I’ve never spent any time in a ford really, apart from the one next to it. I was going down the road to another property getting water from the river and filling my dam when the bush fires where on. It’s the same truck really, just a bit better cab. I have a video coming up, not sure when, of a 250 Cummins, really old one in a cab over transtar. It will be interesting because it would be over 20 years since it started so will see how long it takes. I thought when I opened the door on the dump truck, these are Neil’s bottles, but you weren’t here so I had them. They were lovely
@Steve’s Place Down Under Glad you enjoyed them. Is the rust pretty bad around the cab or is it fixable since that Ford runs good. 20yrs since the next truck had started, probably a 30min video since it will be a Cummins 😀
At least 20 years yes. I’m not a panel beater so to me it’s too much work but the right bloke could save it no doubt. I’d like to get someone capable of fixing rusted cabs because I’d have plenty of jobs here
That old bugger started like all good Cummins should. Mint👌🏻 A cab ride would've been good, cos never in my life will I be getting inside Louis😜 Congratulations too on your subs rising like a reluctant stiffy👍🏻😂
She did start good partner yes. I’m glad the stiffy goes up quicker than the subs😂. I guess I’m at 3000 as we speak so that’s not bad in the few short months it’s been going
@@stevesplacedownunder Well deserved mate.🍻 You make great down to earth videos. Sooo.....do I get a sneak peak at which wagon is next?. Or does it depend on which batteries have enough arse and what cabs have full bottles of motivation in them. Haha
You’re gonna remind me of a neighbour who had a LNT9000 with a V903 - their LNT was a 9 speed and took 20 litres of clean diesel, half a dozen good batteries and a good sniff of Aerostart to get it going
I still don't think I've recovered from listening to an old mechanic doing the overhead gear on one of those with the 903 in it. Turning the air blue does not do his performance justice.
Yes mate stuff rust’s here terrible. We have a very large coastline and anything along it will rust. Out away from the coast is very hot and dry and stuff is preserved. Depending on the life this truck had will determine it also, what it carted and if it was coastal
Hi mate yeah they are good trucks. We want to do it up. The cab is to far gone but the rest of the truck is good. I will eventually find one. The one next to it is fairly rust free but that’s complete and I don’t want to pull it apart. It will be another project one day if I ever get the time
@@stevesplacedownunder oh ok mate, yea if the other is complete, you don't want to be pulling it apart, i sure one will turn up, i think i may have seen a old ford like that on the truck sale site only trucks website , from Memory it had a water tank on back, and wasn't that dear
My one is only a 237 6 speed. We have a flintstone where I work which has a 4v 350 and a 13 speed fuller. It used to be our main float truck. I did a lot of work in it moving machines when it was being used. Went well
A few will end up back on the road but probably not making money. I have a few others that are on the road. Go back into my channel and there’s a few videos of them
Hi Steve n Crew, I see an old blue Flat Nose International (cab over) they and the old Blitz 4x4 were the work horses of country South Australia from fire trucks to carting grains to silos, the other work horse was the Commer Trucks. Cheers Pete.
Oooh lordy, Here's a video is telling me you'll have to get that Ford on the road mate !! Listen to this one !! czcams.com/users/shortsb84H_nL4NN0 Keep the videos coming Steve. Cheers, Ard
I watched that video. Those v8s in those Acco’s are a lot smaller than the 903 but still sounds great. I have one of those little Cummins v8’s here aswell. It’s a 504, which is 210hp. It was in one of my older Acco butterbox trucks
I bet that truck was a beast back in its prime💯
I’d say it was yes. She has some good parts on it and some nice trim for her day. A bit beyond it now though
I've always been led to believe the 903 makes an excellent boat anchor
I think they may have been designed for marine and military mate
Thanks mate, first V8 Cummins I've seen running, made an old man happy and keep emailing coming.
Hi mate no problem. There’s plenty more to come. A few being edited now
the 903s sounded great on the road . i watched just to hear it again .
Hi Bill that’s great. They do sound good. The single stack one sounds better then the twin stack one next to it
I love Cummins, good engine and sound awesome.
Hi Jon yes mate they sound great. I just worry about electrolysis with them. They were bad for it. I had a 3070 inter with one in it and I replaced one liner and found after that the next one along was also starting to drip.
Ah look at that a couple of sandwich’s 😂
Met a AUSTRALIAN CHOPPER PILOT WHEN I WAS IN NAM, WAY COOL GUY , STAY SAFE, MATE.
Thank you mate you take care

Hi mate I’m glad it brought back these memories. It’s certainly an interesting comment to read. There is more coming on this truck in the near future

Okay maté sounds great. Would be a great job to be involved with . Look forward to it
@@stevesplacedownunder Yeah mate, confirmed 388HP and staight 6 but not said yet what capacity it is. Will let you know if he finds out. Cheers mate
Yeah ok mate probably a 14 ltr at a guess

It's a Cummins of course it gonna start easy lol
That’s right mate I couldn’t agree more
That old bugger started like all good Cummins should. Mint👌🏻
A cab ride would've been good, cos never in my life will I be getting inside Louis😜

Sooo.....do I get a sneak peak at which wagon is next?. Or does it depend on which batteries have enough arse and what cabs have full bottles of motivation in them. Haha
I haven’t really decided yet. I have a tractor one pre recorded that will be next out I’d say
You’re gonna remind me of a neighbour who had a LNT9000 with a V903 - their LNT was a 9 speed and took 20 litres of clean diesel, half a dozen good batteries and a good sniff of Aerostart to get it going
She must of been worn out
@@stevesplacedownunder she’d been sitting for over a decade - they got her going and she sounded mint!
Yeah okay mate how good. Hopefully she didn’t have electrolysis like they get
@@stevesplacedownunder all good! Ran like a Swiss clock after she got going
I still don't think I've recovered from listening to an old mechanic doing the overhead gear on one of those with the 903 in it. Turning the air blue does not do his performance justice.
Geez mate it must of been a job. They are hard to access with that short bonnet
@@stevesplacedownunder yep, they took a 903 and built a truck around it.
Yes that right
I didn’t know stuff rusted like that in Australia. Figured no salt no rust.
Yes mate stuff rust’s here terrible. We have a very large coastline and anything along it will rust. Out away from the coast is very hot and dry and stuff is preserved. Depending on the life this truck had will determine it also, what it carted and if it was coastal
I drove a LTL 9000 and the cab was the muffler !!!! i almost died in it....Had a Cummins BIG CAM motor
It must of droned fairly bad did it mate?
Runs mint buddy it's Worthy of a cab or transplant the powertrain to another rig 👍
Yeah mate worthy of a cab indeed. I will come across one
👍
Nothing like a good old Ford Steve. I love them, what are your plans for it, hope you can find a new cab, or fix that if not to far gone .
Cheers
Hi mate yeah they are good trucks. We want to do it up. The cab is to far gone but the rest of the truck is good. I will eventually find one. The one next to it is fairly rust free but that’s complete and I don’t want to pull it apart. It will be another project one day if I ever get the time

There are still a lot of complete units available so I’d imagine there are parts as well
@@stevesplacedownunder yea mate i say so
See ya got R Model on the line yep nuda good one
Yes Ron there is. An 85 model I think
@@stevesplacedownunder good trucks my favorite 4v 350
My one is only a 237 6 speed. We have a flintstone where I work which has a 4v 350 and a 13 speed fuller. It used to be our main float truck. I did a lot of work in it moving machines when it was being used. Went well
Would be cool to see them all painted up again and make ing money
A few will end up back on the road but probably not making money. I have a few others that are on the road. Go back into my channel and there’s a few videos of them
903's cool but i want to see the butter box😊
We will soon enough mate
That 4x again Steve it’s better than that there east start !😄
The aerostart has more go than the mid strength 4x😂
It’s got to be better then the fosters that’s brewed in burton on Trent (uk) Steve 😩! Anyway, keep up the work 👍
It’s better than fosters yes. Thanks Paul
Try starting a 555
I will be one day. There’s one there
I’ve overhauled a lot of them in 70 s
It would be really nice to hear that do some proper work.
Yeah mate they sound better pulling
any of your trucks for sale
Hi Steve n Crew, I see an old blue Flat Nose International (cab over) they and the old Blitz 4x4 were the work horses of country South Australia from fire trucks to carting grains to silos, the other work horse was the Commer Trucks. Cheers Pete.

Hi Ard. I’d love to get it on the road mate. I need more time and it will happen 😂. I’d like to get most of them on the road actually.
I watched that video. Those v8s in those Acco’s are a lot smaller than the 903 but still sounds great. I have one of those little Cummins v8’s here aswell. It’s a 504, which is 210hp. It was in one of my older Acco butterbox trucks
