In the early years I spent a lot of time maintaining two stroke Detroit generator sets and agree that is a nice, and missed sound. I used to bring 12V-71, and 8V-92 engines to the point of falling off in power with portable load banks and like that truck in the video, they open right up to the task.

One of these days I'll get mine installed into something. 

I have a Marmon COE that I would really like to find a 12V to install

I have a MH for sale on CL here in N.H. that comes with a extra  cab but the parts cab is missing the Grill. Hard to come by Grills, windshields, brake valve mount

Aint that the truth!!    Im starving.  Thank goodness for the State "welfare" check for standby pay.    But I sure didn't wear out my trucks this season.  Guess they will be ok for next season

I throw away all those old tube type. Nobody wants to deal with the split rims anymore. I know I don't. Something about the rubber in those old tires, they last forever. 

I thought "Tube type" just has a snap ring? And "Split rim" ment the rim was actually split all the way thru?  Correct me if im wrong

LMAO!!!!!!!!  I read this thread  2 hours ago and im still Laughing!!!  Made my day

I thought for sure that you knew about every COE within 200 miles of the Epsom Circle!

So did I!!!  😄

Wow. I'd hate to think that truck is so close by and I didn't  know about it.  Sharp looking Transtar.  I still maintain that the transtar and the F model are the 2 most stylish COE's ever made

Make sure the latches release while pumping.  Also I have seen the shift linkage "stick". That would try to hold cab down.  When I add fluid to the system I like ATF as it is easier to spot a leak and doesn't mind temperature extremes

Not a lot of Titans left

Id trade our 86 IH 9670 tow truck and buy that.  Hmm.  If only I had the $ for this.   

There are 3408's still earning a living.  As for the "skeptics",  There are plenty of skeptics when it comes to the E9. And most of know of E9's trucken every day.  The cranks were only a problem if you abused them. Meaning turned up the fuel or lugged em.  As for me, I love a E9 or 3408. Nothing sounds  like em.  Sounds like a very cool old school truck to me. Even though it has a Hood.  😉

You may have a bad cab tilt cylinder.  I had that happen. The oil was bypassing inside the cylinder so in effect it was putting oil to both sides of the cylinder.    Power Packer in Indiana is very helpful

I have a Hough HU. Which I think is the earlier version of that machine in the photo?

LOL!!  Oh my.  How true.  Its ok. I take it all in stride.  Not the same when drivers come up & say "your the 1st  one at the accident scene." My reply is  Well I learned how to drive years ago & I don't need that  piece of fiberglass out in front to aim with.   I will say that a 4070 has a lot more Style than my 9670.  As does a F model.  Those 2 trucks have classic lines

And before them is was the Pumpkin trucks of Schneider. Used to see cabover IH's in the ditch, woods, lakes, rivers, etc. just about everyplace they weren't designed to go.

Becareful on picking on IH COE's. LOL.  My 13 letter $hit spreader COE goes into a lot barnyards. Wheels down of course. 😉

Walmart's and Insurance companies are going to be the ruin of small business in America. Family farms support local business. Where the  "Big dairy's" don not do much for the local economy.  They buy in bulk on line, have their own vet staff, buy meds on line.  

That's a shame. around here the dairy farms are going out so fast its scary. 

I have brochures of U, DM, R, MH, RW but no WS. Wish I did

I was able to buy new lift pistons from Mack. But if you try Power Packer in Indiana they are very helpful.  The service tech man is great to deal with.  They built lift cylinders for me. In fact they have refered a few COE people to me to answer questions.  If the latches are opening then its down to the pump or lift clyinders not being up to par
