Taking a load of 3/4” reject home for a little project. 8 tons so I was right at 33k gross. 6-71 Detroit and a 10 speed with a worn out hi/low synchro. #antique #detroitdiesel

Eddieweigel9490……. That old 10 speed had a mechanical splitter in it. A steel rod that ran from the shifter down through the tranny to change the high/low shifting range. My first job out of the Army was in a 9000 White, super 250, mechanical 10 speed in 79.

@@BillHunclebuncle this one isn’t quite that old but I know exactly what you’re talking about. We looked at a ‘65 I think White 9000 with that style 10 speed in it. This one is “modern” with the air valve up on the stick.

@@Autocar87 … so short, but so close in time from days gone by……there is a significance that separates us from the modern drivers, and I’d guess that we’ve driven some of that same old road, that today’s driver has never experienced? Ahhhhh the good ole days……..

I live in Westbrook and recognized where you were immediately - great sounding truck! You put on quite a sound show for the inmates in Windham climbing up the hill, LOL. In a past life I drove coaches with Detroits, love that scream. It's quieter when its 30+ feet behind you though.

@@kevinrhodes335 hahaha very nice. That for sure is a good hill to climb. Hard to get a run for it with the rough bridge abutment right there and idiots coming down the hill taking the whole lane. The old girl made it happen though. Thanks for the comment! I remember taking school trips on the old Maine Line busses with 8v-71’s out back doing work. The bus ride was always my favorite part of the field trip.

I had a ‘70 9000 with a 238 and a 10 speed with deep reduction and a jake. . Also air assist steering. Exactly like yours inside. LOTS of shifting!

@@nickkercheval2704 the old girl does well for itself being a single axle dump truck. It’s also so low geared that it’s not too bad shifting wise the short runs I take it on. Gotta plan the turns with Armstrong steering though! Thanks for the comment!

What does that say about how boring YOUR life is to have watched it and spent even more time expressing your boredom, just to say it’s boring?
