BIG Cummins Powered Truck SITTING in a COW Paddock for YEARS! Will it START?

In this video, I see if I can get this old Cummins Big Cam Diesel powered Ford 9000 Semi Truck Prime Mover going before it is removed from the cow paddock in which it has been sitting for atleast 15 years without being started. Thanks for watching.

This man KNOWS his stuff!!!! BRAVO!!

[@martymartin2894]

This gentleman really knows his craft. The way he's so careful and cleaning around those nuts so as not to contaminate the pump. U don't see too many so careful.

[@54mgtf22]

Looks like the engine might be the only part of the old Louisville worth saving. Another good job, Bruce 👍

Ah the glee in Bruce's voice in the outro, the man loves what he does and bonus points for finishing up before dark! These old mechanical beasts never cease to amaze us, no matter how long they're stayed dormant... By the way, who is Mister Cameraman? Is he your son? Would be nice to have a face reveal to get to know you guys better!

I learnt how to drive in one of these old Fords years ago with the faithful old 350 big cam cummins under the bonnet. Was one of the best engines around back in the day, near bulletproof. Thanks for the video Bruce.

My dad, God rest him, used to drive a Ford L9000 like this one for the state, delivering equipment. He called it Blue Thunder and they put down some mileage back in the 90s and 2000s. When it was time for a rebuild my dad convinced his friend in the maintenance yard to install the next size turbo and bump up the fuel a bit :D Always a hot rodder.

[@jimclarke1108]

[@aidenh2563]

I have fond memories of these old trucks. My dad had a 1986 LNT 9000 for 10 years, 365 Big Cam 4, 13 speed overdrive and SP40s with 411s on airbag. it had the same interior, a 42 inch low line bunk, fiberglass flares and visor plus the later style grille off a LTS. it was a tidy little truck back in it's day

[@larryelliott6321]

Amazing. It runs after sitting abandoned outdoors for so long. I hope someone can pull the engine, rehab what is needed and make it useful again.

The engine and the hood is it on that job. Glad it started and you did good. I've driven a couple with the big cam and they did all right but I'm a admirer of a 3406, a 300-Plus, an E-9 and a GM/Detroit. Paid many a light bill looking at dog butts. Thanks, Bruce and CHEERS!

[@paulw3182]

Another great video! With all the webs, too bad you didn't pack your fire extinguisher / air compressor. With the volume of oil, wonder if the leak was the oil line for the turbo. Never thought to use a wire to check oil - Brilliant! Diesel Creek channel is building a big cam Cummings for his Autocar antique diesel, maybe it wouldn't hurt to message. Thanks for the video.
