Looks pretty good!

 

[Orionrising]

We will find out. Uses a bit of oil but well that to be expected with over half a million on the odometer.

Probably good for another half a million miles.

obviously not just planning on doing 'light hauling' from the woodlot!

 

[Orionrising]

Need to surface about half a mile of road and stump for house shop food plots etc. And it was 5k and is a hell of alot more useful at hauling gravel than the rusty 1 tons at the same price point.

Went over fired her up. Managed to drive it back and forth only stalling once.figured out how to work the dump. Not sure I love the engine sound now that I really listed to it. Little ticky hopefully just exhaust leak.
Think the filters are due a change.

Could be a 653, assumption is that it is a V not inline.

 

[STClurker]

looks like a 6V92 from here, but I'm no expert

Think you may be right, and after listening to some videos, the ticky sound is apparently just how they sound.

 

[Strouty]

Older Detroit engines take perfectly good diesel fuel and convert it to noise, with numb amount of horsepower.

Happy Turkey Day!

 

[Orionrising]

Tried to start her today to dump the snow. Turn over for a bit then wouldn't no more. Hopefully just the batteries, didn't have jumpers or a volt meter with me. Guess I should get 2 more since it's made for 4 and the age of current ones is unknown.

Can you plug it in? Does it even have a block heater? Also dumping snow can ****, it tends to melt, then freeze in place, so make sure you are on level ground so you don’t tip over.

 

[Orionrising]

not easy to plug in where its at. Has a verryyy weathered looking plug that I assume is for a block heater that I dont dare try before looking at the rest the wire etc in detail.

 

[Orionrising]

alrighty, its an 8v92 detroit, that now is having starter issues. Gotta go back Saturday and pull it. Need to find a long *** extension, its buried behind a frame rail.

Nice work on the entrance, will be curious how the laser works for you.

Dump truck still running?

 

[Orionrising]

Laser cutter came in. Works and was well aligned out of the box. Did some tests last night.

Works nifty

Pretty slick, will it do steel as well? I am also guessing you could cut plastics with it.

The big question is how bad does it smell?

 

[Orionrising]

no, not near powerful enough for metal, cuts and engraves wood, plastic, acrylic, paper etc. Has an exhaust fan to pipe out the window. Haven tried anything other then wood so far.
