Get That AutoCar back on the Road

[@poweredbyrice5708]

Love it brother my favorite trucking channel!

[@AppalachianRust]

Thanks! Have a good weekend!!

[@ЮрийНиколаевич77]

​@@AppalachianRustА шпильки помазать смазкой?

[@AppalachianRust]

@@ЮрийНиколаевич77 put a little oil on them wouldn’t hurt. Not to much and if you have Dayton wheels with the wedges don’t get oil on them, you don’t want those to slip

[@literalfire1927]

Too cool. Wanted one of these old Autocars for about as long as I've known them to exist. Someday I hope I'll have one, but in the meantime, it's really nice to see people posting videos of them still moving around.

[@AppalachianRust]

Yeah this one is regularly being used like our Mack trucks. We don’t have any newer than about a 1987 model

[@ЭминМаврин]

​@@AppalachianRustWhat kind of tractor model is this?! 🧐

[@AppalachianRust]

@@ЭминМаврин it’s an AutoCar. They’ve got a lot of history. This one is a 1980 model

[@carldrexler7883]

Good job James you did just fine 👌

[@Heather-lg4gq]

Fantastic to see these old beasts still working! Here in Ontario all the classic rigs are too shiny, and they all say NOT FOR HIRE 🤦‍♂️

[@0wl999]

Wish someone would make a definitive full history of this very cool company. They made a panel van that would look right at home in the Fallout 4 video game.

I watched a set of duals come off a north bound trailer on I69 just south of Fort Wayne Indiana, duals went through the median across south bound lane and take out a medium size tree. They bounced a good thirty feet in the air coming out of the median… I’ll never forget that praying it wouldn’t hit a car or truck.

[@AppalachianRust]

Dangerous going wild at 60 to 80 mph on a highway. No one’s expecting that. Good thing those you saw didn’t hurt anyone. I never knew what happened to the ones I saw.

[@MarkGrant-ew3wk]

Hey James u had me laughin at a way to make a new smart car😂lol lol

[@AppalachianRust]

😂

[@maineman11]

The story about the duals happened to me before. Only I was in a 2000 Volvo Tri-axle dump. I saw one wheel & tire go right by me up the soft shoulder of the road. It was the RR axle, and I was freighted to. The shop mechanic screwed me over that day. He was fired for drinking at work.

[@alanrlocklear]

Cool Autocar. It reminds me of the red one featured in the Stephen King film "Maximum Overdrive"

[@damonwalker1719]

Beautiful Dump truck 🤩🤩🤩

[@noahhunter5793]

Man that dump trailer needs new style hubs😂😂😂

[@scottsheehan1596]

funny how all the old Acars with the white steering wheels alll crack

[@AppalachianRust]

The Mack road tractors steering wheel has cracked as well. It’s a tan color. The DM Mack has a different style wheel and it is fine

❤❤❤❤❤

[@alirezahosseini3881]

very nice

[@joecummings1260]

OMG, you didn't use a torque wrench to tighten the lugs, those tires are going to fly off!!! ROTFLMAO, JK. I just get a kick out of all the young "techs" who think everything has to be done with a torque wrench. My favorite part is when they use their torque wrench on stuff with dirty, rusted, or damaged threads. I guess that A-Car has a Kysor Alarm/Shutdown on it? I ran an A-Car with a 318 in it with one pulling an 8 axle combination. Some of those western Pa hills I'd have everything in low with that detroit screaming and only moving at a slow walking pace. That thing would start to get hot and the Kysor alarm would come on, and I'd have to hold the button in until I could get it off the road somewhere to let it cool down

[@AppalachianRust]

I know that override is for the oil pressure on this truck I’m not sure if it works with the water temperature or not

[@timbullins6852]

You should find a coal haul for that Jewel 😉

[@AppalachianRust]

It does look the part

[@BobbyTucker]

Close enough to a roll of dimes, lol.

[@stevecallagher9973]

thats a nice sounding powerplant, is it CAT or Detroit?

[@AppalachianRust]

Its a Cummins

[@SergioeAnaKD]

Bom dia, boa quinta feira desejamos aqui do Brasil. Joia rara, carrão das antigas forte e robusto. Gostei. Tenha sempre bom serviço, sucesso.

[@nitinkasabe5482]

Wanted to purchase this Truck....

[@AppalachianRust]

It’s not for sale, we use it often

[@25439]

sweet yard. mud ruts bad there?

[@AppalachianRust]

It gets muddy in the winter months but doesn’t rut around the shop, not bad anyway. There’s a heavy rock base

[@25439]

@@AppalachianRust thats lucky. our rock base is further down so our ruts get pretty bad in the spring. having a marsh nearby doesnt help either. though once the wet seasons over i just grade it with a dozer blade.

[@Andrzej-gc7bg]

[@hossainbaghshani1139]

من یک دستگاه مدل 1964داشتم بدون سوپر شارژر بود و فرمان خشک بود ویک کمک وسط شاسی داشت سه عدد دنده می‌خورد و گیربکس پنج دنده بود موتور هم کامینز 180بود

[@AppalachianRust]

Wow yeah this one’s a little more modern but they kept that same style. Thanks for sharing

[@ThomasSmith-fz6wq]

How many gears bro?

[@AppalachianRust]

9 speed on the highway. Transmission is an 8LL with a deep reduction so it’s got some low end gears

[@lamvandanh1993]
