Old farmer here with 6 Detroits still making me money harvesting, hauling, and towing crops (and 1 generator). That's how them old Detriots love to run. Right around that governor redline is where they make their power and that makes them excellent engines for heavy equipment, boats, generators and farm machinery. They'll run there forever until 1) they run out of oil 2) run out of coolant. 3)run out of fuel. I have a 1969 Peterbilt 352 COE with an 8v71 in her my grandfather bought new. She's got around 1.5 million miles with one sleeve/piston new blower rebuild and still a workin! Don't care what the government thinks they're doing. We smaller farmers are going to run our old stuff till the end of time, it was made to last and easy to repair! Love this video man, hope that old Kenworth keeps on a pullin!

This statement is silly as hell and I’m all about old iron. Anything could pull a house down with a creeper gear. I run a 20 year old cat in my Pete but 2 stroke detroits have absolutely zero power at all. Complete dogs. The torque and hp ratings in those days were nothing and that’s why they needed 20 something gears. And even with those gears it took forever to get to speed. Climb a slight grade, forget about it. By the mid 90’s, big diesels we’re putting down some serious power and torque.

Here's the story as it was told to me about this truck. The original owners purchased the truck in 1968 but the engine was retrofitted in 1969 to pull logs in Eastern Washington State. Abhe & Svoboda purchased this truck in 1982 specifically for a project at the McNary Dam near Walla Walla, Washington. We needed to remove a number of large gates and pull them about 1 mile to a makeshift machine shop where the repairs could be done and then the gate was returned to the dam. A special trailer with something like 36 axels was fabricated to haul the huge gates. This truck was purchased specifically to make less than 10 trips taking the gates from the dam to the machine shop and back. Interesting fact: it was an 18-year-old crew member who was able to back the 36-axle trailer down to load the gates. The truck was only used on this one project. It sat in the construction yard for another 40 years until it was scrapped when we sold our yard and moved to a new location.

Number of axles on the huge trailer? This is just my recollection of the history of this truck. When we sold the property the truck was scrapped. I think that's when the new owner purchased it from the scrap yard.

It had a V-12 Detroit & 1st time i ever saw a single drive axle connected to the tag axle via giant V-belt pulleys bolted in between the rims on both sides and the biggest thickest “fan belt” i ever seen connected between the wheels. The guy did a burnout when he left & chirped rubber in the next three gears after he got it rollin. To this day I ain’t never seen a semi get movin that fast from a dead stop.
