Sadly its retired and rusting in peace now, was a lil too far gone to justify putting any more time/money/resources into..

Lets goooo, we need updated vids lol

Appreciate that thank you✊🏼

I know exactly what your saying trust me lol, planning on doing stainless manifold at some point but the one on there is in great shape, once i have an excuse to gut it i'll drop the $1200 on the stainless T4 setup. Till then rockin the ugly one

Damn right, portagee so we just make it work with what we have. I restored a 91 Cat so had some paint leftover and figured spruce it up. My hoods open .001% of the lifetime of this truck so in essence it only benefits me if im e er looking for a leak or something out the ordinary. Would it have been more orthadox as cummins tan? Yes. But i saved that $$ fir more important things in my life

@@rustybloodsaltysoul8640 lol all good I don’t care I just looks funny being a Cummins and CAT yellow lol that’s a first The engine looks great though

@JacksonGuitarsPlayer03 trust me im right there with ya, theres days i wish i hadent jewed out & spent the money on the right color, but i just shut the hood and life carries on lol. And thanks man i appreciate it

@@rustybloodsaltysoul8640 yea and hopefully don’t worry about having to open the hood often to fix it Yep 👍🏼

Absolutely. No reason one couldnt last 400k miles with attentive maintenance, that and diesel can sit for years without going bad, gas your lucky if it lasts 3 months now before the ethanol starts breaking down and gumming up the injectors etc. And reliable is right, you could p-pump swap it throw an air starter on and all you need is physics to run the damn thing lol

Love hearing it and thank you!! Not many guys left like like you guys who can run the free falls like a pro, all these new cranes have power down so those days are dwindling, luckily these dinosaurs are still holding strong in the northeast on the coast from New Bedford to Cape Cod! Booms all along the coast for now its a beautiful sight for someone who appreciates old iron

@@rustybloodsaltysoul8640 .. THATS SOUNDS AWESOME, DONE ALOT OF PILING WITH DROP HAMMERS, DROP DRILL CAISSONS, ON ASSORTED BUCK EYES N LINK BELTS. A LOT OF DREDGING FROM REVERE DU LOOPE TO PORT HOPE. SOME WATER LOGGING ON THE OTTAWA N GATINEAU RIVERS.

Badass touch with the violet pearl clear, bet people double take non stop at it

You got that right, getting rare to see the friction dinosaurs still huckin dredge

Appreciate it man, and the 95 stangs have metal crossover tubes factory that run over the side of the intake, i cleaned those up, painted, and wrapped with header wrap to keep less heat dissipation from going to the intake on top of the carb. If you dont have crossover tubes you could honestly just run 3/4" or whatever size hose it is to where you need them to go, on the stangs our two heater core size hoses are two diffrent size I.D.'s. Depending where yours come out, you could always stub a fitting out to hose clamp a silicone hose onto.

Appreciate the kind words, they really pride themselves over there with the old equipment

Glad it helped

Appreciate it, & S300

🤣 "who am i to disagree"

Thanks, appreciate the kind words. Yea did the swap myself over the summer, was pretty straight forward for the most part. Tried keeping the wiring and everything as clean as possible

@rustybloodsaltysoul8640 you think you could do a how-to or something like that? I've got a 94 I'm trying to do the same thing to.

@atf7923 i could give a rough run down on the whole setup that'll basically give you a very clear idea on how to go about the swap. If i get a chance soon i'll post it up for ya with part #'s and everything

I wish man, i just fluid film it underneath every fall and run it. Underneath stays pretty pristine with just that alone. Great idea with the shelter especially with the ragtop although i think shes going for sale in the spring, onto the next project...

Not many veterans of the cables left like you guys. Most of the outfits around are slowly switching to hydraulic....its a shame to see. Glad it sparked memories of the glory days

How are your knees doing?😂

Made a big diffrence, which thank god because i think it was roughly a $400 dice roll, thing wasnt cheap back then. Its been years since ive had the 1000 but i remember being satisfied with the seat

Either Motorsportoutlet.com or Revzilla i forget, was awhile ago

Mine didnt have one, but yea that would work lol

Good video. Getting ready to do my tire change and wheel bearings. Also agree all balls is the best for these bikes.

Sometimes we'd put another wrap on the tagline pulley to give it more tension and take the slop out of the line, but it all depended on who was operating that day and what they liked.

@@rustybloodsaltysoul8640 All of our cable excavators have a built-in winch with slip clutch. The clutch is adjusted to keep the rope taut during normal operation. The operator can clamp or release the clutch with a lever. In this way, the clamshell can be guided precisely - and also rotated by means of alternating tightening and loosening. This winch was also used in the past to open the bottom flap on the face shovel or to dump the backhoe ;-)

@Rudi Weserwolff sounds like a sweet setup, definitely could see more fluid control over the load out with it. Yea this was our "newer crane" i wanna say it was a 72', everyone there loved it she was quite literally ole reliable for the dinosaur she was. Back at the yard they had i wanna say a 50's/60's American 355 with a cummins that we used for land based pile driving, truly old school where you were using your body weight against the steering clutches just to turn the old girl.

@@rustybloodsaltysoul8640 The old mechanical cable excavators that I know (e.g. Weserhütte and Menck) have easy-to-use small levers for the cable winches. This slows down the auxiliary brake discs, which then switch on the cable winch clutches. At Weserhütte, the small levers are built on top of the long levers - so the excavator driver can operate 4 functions with both hands without changing the levers. Right hand digging winch(close clamshell) and turn around, left hand hoisting winch(Grab pull up, along with the digging winch) and clamshell calming. In this video you can see the excavator driver pull the grapple in and then swing out to hit a spot farther than the boom top: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a7F8f5yVurWtqJs.html

Id be weary of the "new age" service advisors in the dealerships these days thats all i'll say....Atf+4 in your trans will be very light viscosity giving you good shift performance, but big con is wayy to light in the summer under working loads. You want to stick to GL4 properties like Amsoils MTG 75w-90 GL4 if your buying aftermarket and the dealership cant get the GL4 dealer specific fluid in the vid.

@@rustybloodsaltysoul8640 I already did some research and ordered the amsoil 75 - 90 synthetic gt-4 manual transmission fluid, that's for the replying

Thanks*

@@BensDieselServices glad to hear it 👊🏼

Thats a Sargent seat theyre roughly $500 i forget what website exactly i ordered it on

@@rustybloodsaltysoul8640 aw darn I think imma make a custom one lol thanks for the reply !

@@nightdrivers9138 i dont blame ya and hell yea good luck!

Engineering masterpiece for that era of bikes. Enjoy the ride my man
