    If I remember right it was before 77 when the 3406 came out the first models were prechamber just like the 1693 I used to doctor them up and I got 550 hp on the dyno. It pissed me off because we finally got all the little bugs straightend out and cat retired the engine. Cat had a twin overhead cam v8 on the order of a 1693 it was a poor engine. Cat had a smaller engine 1673 it was a pretty good one. The 1693 was a very good engine but it was heavy and used a lot of fuel it was used in loaders, pans, air compressors.

    I worked for Cleveland brothers years ago and I worked on electric sets at one school they had 4 v16 cat engines and one v12 I think they had 8 inch bores I know they held 250 gallons of oil and had 5 or 7 oil filters. That was one loud room to be in. The engines had 2 sparkplugs per cylinder and ran off a magneto,they would run them on propane or natural gas. I worked at another school they had a v12 and a 6 cylinder backup they ran on off road fuel. I was around a stripping shovel it had a 5 cylinder 24 inch bore engine we had one of the heads off and it filled up half an 8 foot truck bed the valve guides were the size of a beer can

    At the turn of the century that company name was big in woodworking industrial tools they were made right there. There is a foundry next door. Today they make carbide indexable heads for planers. They welcome you to walk through the warehouses and the repair shop and machine shop. If you have time go down to the end of the street and there is a very nice museum lots to look at.

    Hi Hobert, I got the little bosch table and it is handy for smaller stuff and I have a freud table way better with a 3 hp router. Hermance tools have used tools for sale look them up on the web.

    If I remember aren't the rings and rims numbered so they stay together? That was told to me when I was first learning to change tires.

    Have a look at king of obsolete's website very interesting an he runs an old ford with a 318. I saw him on that ice road show pulling a load along with some others. I have a soft spot for those old 318's

    The trucks that i started PMing from new I greased at 12,000 miles with the best grease I could get from psc . They have 900,000 plus but it was mostly highway miles.

    Tell tom or jeff you don't want the old style stemco's they will leak. Try a national seal they work real well if your seal surface is just a little worn . Look at the paperwork in the seal box it should tell you all you need to know how to preload bearings and torque on nuts.

    Back in the late 60's I lived in Baltimore and we had to get off the streets way before dark and you didn't have hubcaps or an antenna for very long and if they found your car locked they would smash your windows just to be pricks . I have little sympathy when read about their so called problems

    HI, I found out I had a frozen brake shoe on the rear axle and when I got it tore down someone has changed the spider over to later shoes that has the pins and set bolts . I wonder why someone would do that? I know it was later as the abs pickup was still attached.My truck is a 58 b model

    I always looked forward to mike's show. It was refreshing to see real life work that suck just as bad as my days at work. I wanted to fix motorcycles for a living but my family wouldn't have it so I became a caterpillar mechanic and spent time fixing stuff broke down in coal breakers and landfills and on the side of innerstates and driving some really crappy trucks. But watching that show many times I thought good god boy am I lucky I'm not doing those jobs. How bout everyone else?

    I live about 1/2 hour from the nickelson bridge it is truly a wonder how they built the bridge back then. Once in a while steamtown runs an steam train over it. It is still used for freighttrains.

    I ran a hardhat freightliner triaxle with one of those l10 engines it was about 325 or so hp. I was less than impressed. I drove a 3406 325hp and it ran rings around the l10. Years ago I had a 59 autocar with that 262 and a 4by4 and it did ok. It would be nice to keep that 262 in that truck. Nice birthday present.

    I spent some time looking that truck over and it is pretty good. It has the mack walking beam instead of camelback. I just didn't want to spend that much on a truck, at the time I looked he wanted 30,000$
