A Screaming Jimmy?

WFO.

If you ever heard a skidder run that wasn’t a John Deere in the 1960s-1980s, chances are it was Detroit Powered.

They have their own sound.

My neighbor put one in his pickup makes o lot of noise but gets the job done. He picked up a new toy to try and shoehorn into a truck an old military generator with a v12 Detroit for a power plant. Can’t wait to see what he does with it. I hear it running every now and then sounds scary hope he has a strong enough frame to hold it.

Bout 3500 rpm but they sound like they are going 7000 cause they fire twice as often.

Keep on ... Runnin' Loads !!

Sweet rigs man!!!

Don't worry, the 4-53t won't be stock, but even stock they offered it up to 215hp/495lbft which is still more grunt than a 454. I'm doing a full electronic DDEC conversion with compound turbos and an external air bypass system. Should be about 500hp/1000-1200lbft.

What setup had that kind of power on a stock 4-53T?
I seemed to recall them being around the same power #s as the early 6BT Cummins, so I looked it up just to check on my memory.
All I can find is 175hp, 420ft/lbs. Early 6BT being ~160/400.

Grab a handful of throttle on this beast and you know you have something to be reckoned with Not for the meek to say the least!

Got a load after work yesterday:

The four big pieces are ~36" diameter and 18" tall. The log weight charts say that should be about 667 lbs each!

Got some real nice pin oak. I’ve used it before in my smoker and it burned longer then the white oak. It’s very heavy. Little over loaded

A lil glow worm and it's tunnels I came across when splitting a few ...

Well jeez, I wasn't expecting such a reaction for the truck . Thanks guys! It's an 82 with a 91 front clip. I drove it to michigan from california last summer, only has 109kmi on it. It's currently a 454/4spd, but I'm building a detroit 4-53t/eaton rto610 for it. Going to build a hydraulic dump flat bed for it, multilink air suspension, and do a mild restoration/slight modernization hopefully this fall with a fresh coat of silver. Going to convert to power windows/locks, tilt column, delay wipers, etc.



Upside down 4-53

That is the stuff dreams are made of. You will also need a Jake and an air starter...….

I got a dump trailer so I don't scratch mine.

Sure, there's a tornado watch in southwestern PA today, but there's wood to be gotten!
I had taken wood from this house before, just 2 miles away, and couldn't pass up these oak chunks when offered.

Hang on a minute, you could have stuffed another row of oak rounds in there!

Hauled a load of Ash out of the pasture today. Hopefully get at least one more tomorrow.

@hseII What are you doing with the wood?

Some of those loads seem a bit light for that truck.

 

[lefturnfreek]

I have taken a break from the saw to re work my mud truck ... fff shoulda kept cutting ...

What I have done is revived a dead saw on a rain day. The Ol Homi had the typical blue coil of death syndrome and after going through the 3 I had I sprung for a new one, she lives to be a stump saw again!!




Keep on ... Runnin' Loads!!
