  1. Also check the engine wiring harness for oil we had a problem with oil pressure sending units pushing oil into the harness and cutting the power to the injectors they would not get a signal with the oil in the wiring sometimes it would start sometimes not
  2. Merry Christmas looks like I need to put out the fire if he’s going to be bringing bottles down
  3. Oh no, what do you know that grill guard we had an exact duplicate someone left at the shop and no one new anything about it and it went to scrap last year must have been a local add on for those trucks from that time period it pays to do a little hoarding
  4. A picture would be good to make sure that it is not a brake relay valve of some type old trucks have a lot of unusual modifications over they're life span
  5. It may be a quick release valve I hate it when I find a quick release valve that someone put in to split the brake line down to the service brakes they can stick open while driving and then you have no brakes there should just be a T there, quick release valves are more suitable for the parking brake if equipped with the bigger double brake chambers
  6. That is it nothing else sounds like it thanks we have a 59 international with a 220 cummins and red was the color as well I also remember a TD24 I used a long time ago it was yellow outside but the engine was red it was a great machine similar to a D-8 cat back to the E-6 thing go forward and build a bad E-7 and leave the E-6 to the past
  7. International painted all engines red it was there thing post some pictures of your 1693 if you can I have not seen one in a long time It was a sad day when they expired as for the E-6 mods I would not go there either save it for someone who appreciates it for what it is and move to the E-7
  8. I also have worked on several of the 343 and 1693 we used them in the big skagit yarders and also 988 cat front loader not uncommon to see 30,000 hours and up with no problems they were great.

    I did post a picture of the Foden truck on here some time ago it had a Rolls Royce diesel and I had to repower it I used an E-6 350 and an 8LL it is still right hand drive and we use these 2 yarders for steep slope logging in the mountains I have not done any ski lift work but the cable splicing knowledge is the same

    Stumps behind the yarder are cut tall with notches to keep the guyline from slipping off same for the tail hold for the skyline you can see better here the 4 guylines on the left and the skyline on the right

    Just in Washington for a bit and getting the yarder ready to move the D9 is down so the 2 D8H are going to get the job one of my favorite things working with the best stuff we have made these machines are awesome
  18. $17,000 just guessing that was just before I was born
  19. Wow look at that what an awesome job years in the making
  20. Not sure what valve you have there are several different ones but this one is attached to the tank with a 1/2 inch pipe the port on the left is the service brake and the one in the center is charging the tank when the air is disconnected it applies the brakes in an emergency
  21. Are you still using a series parallel switch with 4- 6volt batteries? And all of the cable ends are good and clean where they go into the end terminals
  22. If you can hear the solenoid clicking it's working but a lot of times the o-rings on the solenoid get baked hard over time and lose pressure easy to change them out if you have not already
  23. Visible smoke is normal even a little oil, excessive smoke is usually accompanied by a fair amount of oil dripping
