Now you want to see a TRUCK!!!

30,000 HP at the Speed of Sound!!

3 GE J35 Jet Engines with Afterburner. The first time I saw him run it only had 2 Jets. He used to run the Local Dragstrip.

They must have some power potential too. I have been looking around on the web at various speed record setting diesels and most of them seem to be Detroits. Here is a story about the Phoenix which is a 1943 IH truck powered by a V-16 Detroit; http://www.ugofadini.com/phoenixstory.html And then ther...

Here is a Video showing me using it. I have a few soft spots and was doing a lot of spinning, but it did work fairly good.

I have LOT of pictures on my FB page. I use it to keep track of my family.

Well the damn looters are out!!!

My greenhouse blew down and the DAMN thieves came by and helped themselves to all the aluminum pieces. I am so damn mad i can't see straight!!!

I worked at a Rock Quarry for a few years and we had an Old Euclid with a 318 Detroit Diesel, it made a lot of ,noise but didn't do a whole lot. LOL. But most of the equipment was Yellow.

I posted pictures of all 3 types of VR for the the Older S/G Cubs in the 'How-to" section as well as my Phot Album.

Here is type B on my 129.

The Yellow wire is for F. The Grey wire is for BAT, and the Blue wire is G. Notice i had to run the Blue to the back terminal.

This is correct for the factory wiring on a 129.



And as Installed.

Here is Type C Front Terminals.

From Left to right they are marked L, BAT, F.



Here is Type C Bottom Terminal.

It is NOT marked but it is the G terminal for GEN.

Here is Type B front terminals. From left to right they are marked L, BAT, F 808 Here is Type B Back Terminals. It is marked G. 809 Here are both Type A and Type B. Notice on Type A the back Terminal is on the right corner and is marked GRD for Ground, and on Type B it is on the Left corner and mark...

Here I will post details and pictures of the 3 different types of VR's that I know about. Here are all 3 types I know about, Type A, Type B, and Type C. 805 Here is the Front side of Type A. The Terminals from left to right are BAT, GEN, F 806 Here is the Terminal on the back of Type A. Notice it is...

Pat, I hear ya, well almost, over the ringing in my ears :( Mack had a distinctive sound as did Cummins and Cat but Detroit's you could hear a mile away. The worst one I ever drove was a 318 Detroit with dual stacks, no muffler on an old Brockway tri-axle. You could still hear it sitting in the bar...

I kinda have my eye on a 107 myself, No motor.

The Diesel engine was originally designed to run on Peanut oil. But it proved to be to expensive. The Army has switched just about everything over to JP8 now.

I used to be able to tell the brand of the diesel engine just from the sound.

I also used to be able to tell a 283, 327, and a 350 apart just from the sound. But my tired old ears just aren't that good anymore.

That is possible as well. If the soot got wet it could cause problems. Diesels like lots of air.

I'm glad I don't work for Ray, I wouldn't have a paycheck, I would be to busy buying all of his Cubs!!

I have found that my Troybilt Horse Tiller works with a Troybilt belt, the NAPA belts just don't cut it there either. I keep a few of those on hand as well.

I wish I lived closer and had more money, I would most certainly buy one.

While it may not be a Truck, it's close. My wife is in a wheelchair and we needed a Van with a lift, so I move her around. This is what we found. 1999 GMC Savana, it has about every option you can get. http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/amigatec/Van/file-1.jpg http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a...

When I rebuilt mine I wound up using 2 seals. When i tore the motor down the PTO seal not even in the block, it was spinning on the crank. I installed the new seal and it was very loose in the block so I pushed it in a bit and added the old seal behind it, and used some silicone to make sure it didn...

I was told by a starter shop that polarity means nothing to a starter, it will always turn the same direction. We had a Loader that had sat for a few years and we needed to get it started. (We had borrowed a few parts to use on other equipment.) I installed a rebuilt starter, it started and ran fine...

Pushing brush. http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/amigatec/Tornado/file-41.jpg http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/amigatec/Tornado/file-42.jpg Hood hinge came apart so i removed the hood, No it's a QL that shook the hood off. :D http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a318/amigatec/Tornado/file-40...

I have moved a mountain of brush today, I can't believe how tough one of these things are. I was dragging pickup loads of brush down the alley and out onto the street. It chugged right along, my 129 may be ugly, but it sure impressed the neighbors with the amount of guts it has.

There were at least 5 killed in Western Oklahoma, and none here in town. I don't know of any serious injury. The Cub has been a life saver today, I have the blade on it and have moved at least 2 piles of limbs and other debris. The power may not be restored for another day. A tree in my alley has sn...

We are OK, the town I live in got a direct hit about 9:00 p.m. tonight. Part of my roof is missing, my little greenhouse is gone, most of my trees are laying over. The chicken coop is on it's side.

But both my Cubs are OK. I plan to use them to drag the trees out of my yard with.

Wire it like Type 2 and it will work.

There are at least 3 different types I know of. Type 1 has the G, F, and B on the front and the Grd on the back. Type 2 has the L, F, and B on the front and the G on the back Type 3 has the L, F, and B on the front and the G on the bottom. G=Generator F=Field L=Load B=Battery Grd=Ground The one I am...

Don't use the L terminal, the one on the bottom is the G terminal. F=Field B=battery L=Load-not used G=Gen-on the bottom. I went through this on mine. They made at least 3 different types. One mine the G is on the back like this. If you look you can see the top term at the bottom of the picture isn'...

The 400 pedal tractor in the 2 pictures with my grandsons was given to me by my gradfather.
