gearhead204 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 any info on how many were built with the kt? the 450 is nice but there is always the 600! I wonder if any of them were built! very nice find, doesn't look to be abused, just used. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maint1 Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 It's for the Museum. Doug is Checking if it is original. It's had a pretty rough life, the pictures make it look better, didn't go under it much, raining hard. Did give me the parts where it was rebuilt. Those 6 1/4 pistons are impressive after working on the 335 and 400 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearhead204 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 guess I should have looked closer, watch your step if you exit the passenger side! does it have dual air tanks on the drivers side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmyb Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 There are some mining companies here that use the 19l Cummins cause they have a long service life. I've heard up to 20,000 hours between rebuilds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a D cup what's the difference if it is acually a Double D. But how. Is counting anyway, anymore than a mouthful is a waste! Just some have bigger mouths than others. Big is as big does. 😜😜😜 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
