I have removed the large side cover and gently worked the the rack back and forth until it frees up. You can use your favorite “knock er loose” spray in there to help dissolve the old diesel that sticking the rack. Make sure to subscribe! I need all the help I can get!

It’s a small world! I’m in the town of Bloomfield so I have been in Petersburg a lot of times. I’m at Elnora (White River Valley Antique Show.. weekend after Labor Day) every year. I need to find a few more shows between now and then to get my fix….

Them Doggie motors were alright on flat ground, but lacked the ability to look at big hills without dropping several gears.

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Most of the time the spring the throttle lever is loose/broken. It will do the same thing and is on the outside of the governor. Mine was farther in the governor but had similar actions. Might concider to like and subscribe if you liked the video.. thank you!

That’s aunt B, because she’s part of the family! I’m not as smooth as most but I get it down the road. I plan on getting one of the boys to ride with me to video, and of course Oreo will have to go to, she likes to ride in the trucks just as much as the Caterpillar.

Even a Quadraplex needs power to pull hills. The contemporary motors appear to have spoiled many drivers. I have banged my Noggin on the roof of several B models.

@@danielhutchinson6604 I don’t get into my b model I tend to wear it like a shirt! It’s pretty tight but alot of the east coast trucks of the day had small cabs too.

@@Recommended_by_Fred K-100 cabs seem to have spoiled me. The ability to convince a Cummins to climb mountains at an early age, got me somewhat less impressed by Thermodyne power. They were pretty durable when treated properly, but like I say, they seemed better suited to Flatland running. Bill Elshultz of Twin City Freight fame had a dependable bunch of Red B Models. They had a G Model they put freight in for the Terminal I was working, it seemed to break down frequently. But as time went by I understood the Driver they spooned into the Cab of that Unit was usually located on a Bar Stool, and the other Trucks would wake Him up when He Pulled over for Naps. The B Models turned in pretty impressive miles with the Good Drivers who were working before the Boss allowed the Boy to assume controll of the outfit. The Kid bought some Astros. They went Broke in the 1980's as they expanded to reach the west coast.

@@danielhutchinson6604 I have some other trucks too, a mack b733. has a L model cab and a cummins with a supercharger on the side of the block. I haven't tackled that project and a 358 peterbilt with a 318 detroit 5 x4 and hendrickson rubber puck suspension. I agree that the b-61 was not a mountain truck, Mack had western models that had big cummins power and larger cabs. This truck ran from Chicago to Florida a lot. Monteagle was about the biggest hill it had to climb,

Sorry, I don’t. I used parts from a known good pump governor. If there is the least bit of play it will cause it to surge.
