D-Day

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 

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

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

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

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

Ours is a 1970 and its painted Red. Someone somewhere told me that the last 1693's that went into trucks were painted red but I couldn't tell you if that's right or not. 

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

I worked on both colors the 1693 was a 343 with a different governor for a truck and some other changes were done for more hp. The 1693 was my favorite engine.

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

Sometimes we use this little Christy yarder its small enough you can put it on the edge of some steep ground where space is tight

Love to see some photos of this thing in its natural habitat. 

I don't have any good pictures I'll get some next time it's set up maybe try video 

Reworked the guyline shives and a little welding on the top of the tower should be logging the next skyline unit shortly

Oh that’s good to know!  No, they’re different style. The single axle looks like a more modern setup, I believe with camelback suspension. The dual axle has the rear ends that look like they’re flipped on their side, if that makes sense?  

Ductile iron housings those are nice no warping, heavy duty is good 

They look great are the post's in the same place or will we need to redrill to fit thanks for this labor of love it's been a struggle and we appreciate it 

This is my uncle Ray picture is from about 1949 in the background is mt.rainier , was just up there for his funeral he was 92

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 

$17,000 just guessing that was just before I was born 

Wow look at that what an awesome job years in the making 

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 

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

ok..  without going deep...   make a small gauge jumper wire..  to reach from the pos. on the alt.  about 3 feet long... crimp an alligator clip to each end, ( you will save this tool for later diag.) climb up there, and un-plug the 2 jake plugs at the valve cover spacers..  you will see an 1/8" pin sticking out..  with the engine running at low idle. simply, clamp one clip to the Pos. on the Alt. and use the other end to touch on to the jake pin at the jake spacer...  .  It should activate the the jake on that head, and cause the engine to stumble...   if it does not stumble the engine on that head,  then the celeniod is either unhooked/cut under the valve cover, then you fix the wire..  or possibly the celenoid is bad..  it is a simple test, that Work's..  Jojo

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 

Great pictures thanks 

Visible smoke is normal even a little oil, excessive smoke is usually accompanied by a fair amount of oil dripping

Your right Bob not alot there but a good triplex and pair of L cab doors the White 5000 has a 220 Cummins also good for engine parts I gather up what I can find for other projects that are waiting at the shop
