  • hi there i always thought that all cummins engines were red and the cat engines were yellow, just curious. then again i`m going by the newer kenworths, like the k104, k104b, k108, t604 and t608 and the list goes on,,, go KENWORTH the real mans truck.

  • This one was repainted years ago, according

    to the tag it was originally in earth moving

    equipment. Only the new cummins are

    red, the original color back then was a

    tan color.

  • How do those old things start? It sounds like the starter runs for a second before it turns the engine over.

    Maybe you could tell a newbie what you're doing there...

  • Hi,

    The starter sounds that way because this

    engine has a compression release that

    I pulled before I engaged the starter.

    The engine gets rolling easier, then

    I let the compression release go, and the

    engine fires.

    Not all cummins engines had that, it was

    an option. Engines without it could be hard

    to start on a cold day.

  • must be 24Volt starter, sure spun er over, the way i like it

  • No, its 12volt. I got rid of the

    series-parallel switch for sake of simplicity.

    The compression release just does a good job.

  • no turbo on that puppy..neat old truck :)

  • Hey, it´s even older than I´am (1951) and still sounds this good.

  • Awsome sound!

  • I used to have a Hummin Cummins truckers hat, lost it somewhere. I had 2 more that refered to a Cat and a Detroit, but the Cummins hat was my preference at 8 years old.

    My Dad always had Cummins in his trucks.

    I gotta tell ya, truckin' in the 70's was the shiznit!
