Old Cummins mechanic here, started for Cummins in Grand Rapids in 1969. The first engine that started was a small cam NTA 380 hp most likely. Has an after cooler in the center of the intake manifold. PT (pressure timed) fuel pump with a MVS governor (mechanical variable speed). that works when the upper throttle lever is activated. Small cam engine, 5 1/2" bore. The engine with the external fuel lines to each cylinder is either a 4 7/8" or 5 1/8" bore. Could be a 2 valve head or 4 valve. This engine was out of production pretty much when I started in 1969. I did work on hundreds of these though. Both engine had 3 push rods per cylinder with the center push rod operating the injector plunger to compress the fuel thru the injector cup in a fine mist. Three lobes on the cam per cylinder. Big cam engines IIRC came out in the mid 1970s. Previous poster had it right on how to tell by the cam roller boxes along the side of the block below the fuel pump. I worked on a couple of L Cummins in switchers. They were very old when I started. Think they were about 6 1/2" bore and ran at slow rpm of either 1,600 or 1,200 rpm.

Great work guys! Just a thought before starting on a restoration. The lining of the cab on the second Plymouth had that white fluffy sprayed-on Asbestos look about it. I could imagine it may be a bit of insulation for hot/cold climates. Might be worthwhile getting it tested before stripping the cab. Asbestos is bad stuff but was used back in the day as it was cheap and a good insulator - breathing in only a few fibres can lead to lung disease years later and down the track (no pun intended). I'm just mentioning it as we had a friend who use to work in a naval shipyard in the 1970's removing the asbestos lagging from inside ships and submarines. Unfortunately It got to him later in life. Took 45 years. Be safe!

Really happy to have you back Bruce, I know I’ve commented on all your other videos that you’ve posted so far, but I like this one the best. you’re really getting back into the flow of things too. I could tell you were pretty rusty on the first couple videos , but now you’re back in the swing of things just like you were before. You picked up kinda almost where you just left off. It’s really great to see and be honest in that downtime you really got yourself together, so maybe the probation thing was a blessing in disguise! you know what I’m saying, you had your son , and now you got another bean in the oven! you got your businesses up and running great , you got your shop running great and business is moving ! everything is moving and you’re working hard , you and your brother got the hobby shop , and everything‘s looking up man!so take it all as a blessing in disguise. sometimes Things happen to us that seem to be the worst ever and I can see that when they told you you couldn’t do KZbin videos anymore ,it was really a kick in the balls. because it’s like your subscriber base was growing so much and so quick and the momentum was right there. that’s like somebody in the music industry who has a whole bunch of hits and doesn’t continue on and they become one hit wonders because they’d stop dropping the music and stop becoming relevant. But you were able to pick off right where you left off ,and continue on and we missed you buddy . good to see you back congratulations on the son and the one on the way ! congrats to you and your brother with the businesses and blessings to all you the whole family. amber,Aaron,moms, pops and the little ones!!

Great Video, Bruce.. and glad you're back, "on track"... pun intended, here. lol The last Plymouth you showed here, is powered by a Cat D326 - 185hp at 2000 rpm. The locomotive is a "J" Series (Plymouth 15-25Ton) - 20 Ton. As far as the other three Cummins powered Plymouths, there... None of the Plymouth's with Cummins were ever rated over 300hp, in fact.. were rated from 165 - 300hp and the engine models were the HRB1 (165hp), HRS-600 (225hp), NHS (260/275hp) & NHRS (300hp). There were No "small or big cam" designations with these early model NH Series Cummins. Other prime movers within this class of locomotives were GM Diesel (4 & 6-71's), The Cat D326, and Hercules (DRXC/Diesel[144hp@2100] & RXLD/Gas [148hp@2100]). Would be REALLY interesting to find a Plymouth M/W Class (25 to 45 ton) with a 6-110 GM Diesel (aka "Detroit Diesel") which were rated at 275hp @ 1800 rpm (Naturally Aspirated with a Centrifugal blower on the early GM models [1945 - 1952 & Roots blown from late 1952 - 1965], turbo's added after 1960 to 1965).
@gravelydon70722 жыл бұрын
I would bet that if you found one that had a 110 in it, it would need rebuilt. A 6-71 would make me feel at home as that is what we had for generators and one of the two types we had to assemble and have running for certification class on Detroits. The other was an 8V71. Our main engines were their bigger brothers, the NA12V71. We got from the Army some others which were rebuilt before use that were designed for use in tanks. >600HP at War Power but rated for only 24 hours at that rating before need for rebuild.

@@Romans--bo7br No, I do not. We got them as surplus. They did have the cast covers. They were not the normal 12V71s that I expected but had injectors that were twice the size of the normal ones and were twin turbocharged. We were offered 7 of the 10 the DRMO had. We got the Army to pick up the shipping also as the USACE was responsible for the engines in our buildings. They were, IRC, set up to run at 2500 RPM which meant that they were really putting out the power but not at what they were listed at. You could get 600 out of other versions without cutting into their lifetimes. My guess is that the 600 was at normal loads/RPM and when pushed to war power, may have gotten to over 1.2K. The sheet that DDA supplied would not show anything above the 600. Nor would it say what the max RPM was for those engines. Marine type 12V71s could put out 900HP at 2300RPM. www.dieselpartsdirect.com/documents/detroit-diesel-specs/12v71ti-marine.pdf These were not equipped with the 9215s so may have been the 9A31s which DDA would not talk about in the 71s. We had a 4-53 when I worked for the State that was rated for a no load speed of 3005RPM and it screamed.

There are more "old beauties" than there are people to refurbish them. Then there are fuel economy and emissions issues. Then, for companies, there are tax issues which we the people know little about except that they exist. Maybe they get so many writes off buying new equipment that it's not worth putting even functional old equipment back in service. Old engines might have some use as stationary engines. But there are an awful lot of them around, and why not use a truck engine for that purpose? A truck engine probably would be cheaper and easier to keep running.

Not all four of these locos were "40 tonner's" (M/W Class [25 - 45 ton] - Plymouth's), and the last one is a "J" Class (15 - 25 tons). Great to see a "Will it Start" video of something beyond the usual Cars & Trucks of various sizes, etc.... "keep em" coming!! "Will it start" videos of engines in "not so common" applications.... is Very Interesting, as well as educational, as they expose many people to things they've never seen or been around, before.

Been watching a lot of anvil/grinder restoration vids, ain't no way I could restore that let alone a locomotive though I wish I could. I've always thought it would be a fun if probably impossible task of turning an old Santfe Style engine into an RV even if only the shell was used.

I would love to have one of these in my yard, cause i would stop spending money on stupid shit and spend my life building a train and tracks haha - and i blame that on driving a steam train and been sucked in ever since. Sucks our local train museum closed and now owned privately and they don't have the money to restore the place so its sad seeing history fade away So thanks for entertaining us :)

The handle you found inside the locomotive you entered is indeed a brake. The handbrake. Mainly used when the locomotive is stationary.

There's a screw on the solenoid that is used to manually open the fuel valve. Check that
