thanks it sure does drive good too.

they are darn good trucks for sure

Oh man I do it was a brain teaser for sure.

Had to do some serious praying for wisdom on how to tackle all this.

They are great. I had a 1956 kw with 335, it was a darn good rig !

I love that feeling when they get going after sitting for so long.

Looks like a CAT 3406

@@craigheil7044 Anybody who knows Cat knows that is a Cummapart.

CAT!!!!

Oh my... Cummins KTA 19

It’s a Cummins 855 series.

Awesome man put up a video of that truck running

That is the plan. I was hoping to do it today. But we had some good flooding and mud slides. So mother nature screwed up my plan. Next time I have free day. I just did a walk around of it the other day. Its an ugly truck. But cool. I'll look forward to seeing more videos of you KW. She sure sounded pretty nice. These old trucks sure are addictive. I started with one and i'm up to 4 now haha.

yeah im a KW lover, definately looking forward to vids of yer project.

Agreed. My first truck is a 1955 825KW, NH-262 with a 4x3 and torsion bar suspension. It's all original, including its paint job. A friend of mine is selling an old 71 KW that I use to drive for him. Its tempting to go snag it.

thanks so much it was a challenge for sure.

Haha isn’t that the size of it too. This thing has had me stumped for weeks as to why it wouldn’t start and run,finally its alive.

thank you . and thanks for watching

I was thinking the same thing I wish they still had that..... Merry Christmas wherever you are.....😀

Street Smart - A classic Peterbilt or Freightliner would sound exactly the same with that engine, lol.

@@redbluesome2829 LOL, that's true.. but then , they still wouldn't be KW's

Its a Cummins Big-Cam III 350hp. And its beautiful sound to hear it (y)

Not a big cam.id say small cam 350

Might only be a 335 aswell,but definitely a small cam

sweet. thank you for being here. I certainly have a soft spot for the A model trucks

You're welcome man and no haha thank YOU for sharing your rig with us

haha it was being difficult for a quick minute

I’d imagine it has to do with the compressor whack sound

thats it too I really like this truck.

it is a total beast and drive half decent too ! thanks for watching ~Daniel

I was asking my wife the other day about the quentin tarantino thing and she doesn't see the resemblance. But man if i really do look like him there should be a separate fan page for the look alike thing I've got going on : )

I was thinking the same!!

gracias mi amigo

yea I definitely could have done that a little different haha. Thanks for watching , may God bless you as well Brother. is this ed jiskra ?

..

Son geniales. Los amo !

..

Me too, seen a few of these vids & they're pretty darn cool. Specially to someone stuck in the UK with tiny little 40ton GTW/40' trailer rigs lol

wow thatd be nuts. I have alot of family near st louis and any time we'd go back and drive around, there were non stop construction zones on the big road like that and if I remember right cement highway back when too. cool stories James thanks for jumping on here.

You welcome enjoy talking to you

and the same here James !

Seriously? They're on most/many trucks. Jacobs is one company that makes them.

Is this a compression release for starting?

sure is

Thanks buddy !

Большое спасибо, мой друг.

thank you

haha aint that the truth of it. Thanks for watching and commenting Joseph. Have a happy new year !

sweet i'll be looking for updates on the restoration.

Don't Jimmy me Jools

fucking classic

I thought he looked like actor Jason Clarke that played the T3000 in Terminator Genisys

He doesn’t sound like Quentin Tarantino what the hell are you OOOh I see what’s going on

LMFAO GOOD ONE JOE!!

I have no clue what would make someone do this, to my knowledge no one would have a reason for it .

Perhaps it was rain

Thanks Scott !

haha yes indeed.

and a shmeezer valve

Diesel engines don't have spark plugs or plug wires.

@@level5565 yes they do and blinker fluid

Unless your referring to the glow plugs. That cant be heated up to help the motor start in cold conditions.

haha yeah that was classic, the turbo was full of water and need an evacuation.

This is a small cam. They never had compression release in big cams. Looks like an NTC 350. I was quite surprised to see one of those. It's been decades. That style of after cooler with the long cap screws was almost impossible to get apart to rebuild. Aluminum housing with steel bolts. They went to a steel top section with short bolt when the first big cam 1 through 3 engines. Then that all changed again with the big cam 4.

That is an NTC 350. I know because my dad’s dump truck has one with a compression release.

hahaha

I did the same thing with mine when i first started it up. Was fiddling with switches. Started her up initially and she ran great, shut her down. Started again and ran her up and down a few times and flipped a switch without thinking about it, when i let off the accelerator i thought she was going to come apart. Might have almost messed myself.

yeah I was kinda freaking out a little. @@jeffersongaragecustoms6431

cummins beer cooler? love cummins!

Yes it has an after cooler the turbo generates heat and the after cooler cools the air before it goes into the cylinder helps make more horsepower

haha. ces moteurs ont été construits pour durer!

I hear you there. I drove on 12 hr shifts at night and the truck would drive 12 hr during the day for about 8-9 days it never got turned off either. Good story those would have been fun days backk then. Where are you from ? thanks for watching and commenting !

very cool, you spent a long time on the road. I've got friends living in Mobile, they run a steel mill.

parece bom. eu amo isso !

yeah i had some pre work before the video, barred the motor over with a crowfoot to make sure it turned over freely, and disconnected the crossover pipe so it wouldn't suck water into the motor, which ended up happening a little toward the end of the video. haha

i know rookie maneuver !

couldnt ever figure out if it was vandals or someone left the air cleaner cover off. the water filled up the turbo and the crossover tube to the intake cooler. weird stuff man !

@Kraig Gustavsson There is an intercooler it's that big thing on the side of the engine at the top drivers side

@bert Grau you’re definitely right. I have a shrimp boat with this engine, it’s a 350/400hp 855cid on a twin disc 6:1 only slinging a 48” 4 blade and will pull the hell outta nearly whatever I want. Love these Cummins. Mine is a big cam and the cam bearing were worn bad when I got the boat. Drag all day at 1500rpms with 8lb oil pressure 😳😳😳😳 yes 8lb!!!! Guy I worked for insisted so I did. Babied her for 5 years like that and after I finally talked him into a rebuild we definitely had something then.

my buddy has it only a few miles from me haha.

хаха, я смеюсь, потому что это так верно!

вау, что заслуживает доверия. Я не испытывал такого холода.

yeah you got that right !
