I enjoyed the video

Yes

[@TimothyPeterson-mc4gf]

My dad was a truck driving mechanic in the 70s I love to see old trucks running

[@ryanclawson9275]

Damn, this one took me back. My grandfather had a White Road Boss tractor that he towed a low boy with for his excavating business. Always loved riding shotgun in that rig. Not many old Road Bosses left on the road but they’ll get my attention every time!

[@Forsaken_Angel_of_Darkness]

That was awesome. love old equipment roaring back to life like that.

[@tristanoliva]

Absolutely killing it with the content Hank!!

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thank you .

[@RODALCO2007]

Brilliant ! That V8 Detroit engine fired up immediately. Perfect battery cobbling and that worked very well. Bus-grease-monkey is an expert on these engines as you mentioned. The vicegrip is the correct tool for the throttle. Runaway, block the air intake with a piece of wood.

[@64TommyG]

You can't stop it in another way than blocking the air because it burning oil if you only try to cut the diesel line!

[@yardsausage]

these easy start videos dont happen too often..good job. i love the way you pick with one another too.

[@andrewstocks8872]

I’m watching this from the UK I look forward to all your videos, keep up the great work, your good self and Wiley and now your Daughter as well God Bless you all Amen 🙏

[@timhalstead9087]

It’s got a Holmes Wrecker Bed on it. I’ve drove a wrecker for 13yrs. That is a gem. I would love to see someone buy it and get it back on the road. I know Tim Gentry was talking about buying a wrecker. I would love to see him buy this truck. I love y’all’s video’s of getting these old gems back running.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks Tim!

Man...that 'ol rig is tougher than a $2 dollar steak! Must have been awesome running that thing back in the day!

[@jeffreykbevins7116]

You guys were having fun out there and it amazed me that it started that easy and actually sounded pretty good . I know that the wrecker looks rough, but it could probably be cleaned up and made to look really good . I will see you all later, so take care and stay safe and keep on joking and laughing and starting the old equipment and trucks . 🤗👍💖💫

[@Charles-qt2gx]

This is just to show I'm paying attention. On the mileage, the speedo head has been replaced, and the one installed is a Mack speedometer. You two together crack me up, keep up the good work.

nice them Detroits always start. I love it

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

For sure.

Enjoy watching you guys having fun with what you are doing. I am really amazed that you got this one cranked.

Great video Hank, those old 2 stroke Detroits are awesome, it fired right up!

That was great thought you met your match but you two did it and the comedy team hit the jackpot great run thank you Hank and Whilley came through and thank the lady announcer great job.

Thank you. That's my daughter :)

[@Lee-At-Green-Pheonix-Rc]

I love old American tow trucks and wreakers

[@larrysouth4467]

Those old 2 stroke Detroit's are hard to kill. I use to drive a old 1978 Freightliner cabover with a silver 92 in it 👌

[@patamos7019]

We had 2 Road Bosses at Coastal Tank Lines, Road Boss II's, and long nose Freightliners and they all had 290 Cummins with RT 9509 Road Ranger transmissions. The only exception was 1 Road Boss II with a 6v71 Detroit.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Nice!

[@stevesplacedownunder]

Great video from Australia. That pin that was missing must be in that fuel control rod so all 8 injectors are linked together. You were only controlling 4 injectors. Then you will really hear a Detroit. Great content thanks again

[@matthewboas3776]

Good work guys awesome to see how quickly that thing came back to life and in all honesty the truck ain't that bad looking needs a little bit of love but could definitely be back on the road again if somebody was willing

[@danswartwood4580]

Thank you Hank and the appreciation

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Yes sir.

[@josephoneill3197]

Hank, I watched your great video and thought that you stepped up your game with the intro using the beautiful model, and then all of a sudden Wiley is in the video. Please bring your standards up across the board. 😉😁 My brother had that very same engine in his big rig back in the day. Wiley is right, the 8V71N is 318 hp, add a turbo and the 8V71T is 350 hp. You all make an awesome and entertaining video! God bless you all and stay safe!

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

😂

[@glennjukes5581]

You can also have a 8V71 w/ twin turbo's--I saw one in a Louisville Ford, but I don't remember the horsepower.

[@ryanmall]

That would be a beautiful truck to restore to showroom conditions

[@davidbranch397]

how cool would it be if you and Wiley bought and set up a sevice truck you use for your vids? Make it a series of addons and fixes!

[@kevinmccarey5015]

Hello Hank, Great will it start episode. You two together are a team. Whiley cannot be 82 God Bless

Just to see it cleaned up, the brakes working, a good wash job and it back out on the road would be great even if it wasn't restored. It definitely wants to live.

thing is though and as you said hank , the linkage rod to the other bank isn't hooked up so basically it was only getting throttle to the bank on your side . still awesome video brother , that detroit is still in good condition .

good going wiley and hank..lol

[@kevinwilson2090]

My Dad had a good friend who was an awesome Detroit Diesel mechanic. So, one Christmas the guys in the shop gave him a framed photo of a 671 Detroit. He proudly took it home and placed it over the mantel of his fireplace, unfortunately he had to take it down because it LEAKED so bad.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

😂

[@williammerritt3566]

You guys are Awsome! I never expected that one to crank and run that good! Love Detroit’s!

[@SuperNedk]

Be great to see it drive again. Top stuff guys

Yessir you can use vice grips as a throttle on the rack and I think Bruce Wilson did it also

[@steveparoz2691]

That’s cool!!!! I have a Roadboss in Australia I have just recently rebuilt it including paint airbag rear end and a fresh 6v92ta in it I love it !!!!!

If you could fix that wrecker it would probably prove quite handy for what you two do! 🤣

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

For sure!

[@richardjones5255]

That was a real shock. I thought that there was no hope for that one. However, it went off right away. Those old diesels really are something else.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

It is really crazy

[@michaelfinney2160]

Nice old tow rig ! Someone needs to get that truck on the road. It’s a wonder that fuel rack wasn’t stuck up ! Love to hear it run ! Your new intro and closure girl is so much like her mom ! I know you must be mighty proud of her. Have a Blessed Day ! TCB⚡️

[@jimkugler5725]

Hank, you should have kept the old red service truck full of tools that you sent to the scrap yard

[@Neverdie242]

I drove a Road Boss like that one once, it had a 318. It also had a positive ground, real east to burn up a CB radio. Great video.

[@Markdc94]

That White tractor was made right here in my home town, Dublin Va.. The Volvo plant has become largest heavy truck assembly plant in the world! White had extreme money problems, GMC got involved and that was a flop. Then Volvo bought the whole shooting match, and now they have Mack trucks. They are in the process of moving Mack assembly plant from Pa. to Dublin Va.!!!! Y'all should come here and see the Volvo plant, it's right here off I-81 @ exit 98, it's a yuge thing to see!!!!

I'd never thought it would have done that sounds good to great job guys .

And they only used four cylinders! Two strokes diesel engines are the best they work whit nearly everything you feed them with! You should hear the big ones on the ship's, you never going to forget about that feeling!!!

[@mancogokartrider]

I lost it when Wally said “ You sound so sexy when you talk like that, you talk to Gina like that?” 🤣 Good stuff Hank keep it coming!

[@noelwarner1235]

Something cool as well notice the rear mounted accessories on the engine such as the alternator and power steering pump. I'm kind of curious as to why the exhaust pipe was removed from the engine. Detroit's don't make oil they used to leak it. If you're using the vice grips and the throttle linkage is unhooked you're only controlling one side of the motor

[@martineastburn3679]

Gona start. I see two Stars glowing on the job. Go for it ! Runaway - 3.425 % seems to me! Had my finger in the air and waved it.

[@VistaViews]

Once it runs away it’s burning the motor oil not the diesel, so you can’t stop it by stopping the fuel. That being said those old Detroits don’t typically reach the ability to runaway unless you are at or near full throttle.

[@FlatThunder]

From watching you and Diesel Creek I feel like I need an old Detroit engine! Those injectors and valve setups are really cool! Fun video Hank 👍😁

[@64TommyG]

And the drive on nearly everything too! Used oil save some money...

[@hillbillybeerdranker6678]

Burack hussein made the engines ill eagle cause he said they smoke to much & made his EPA band them. Soupreme court just canceled EPA frum havin tha power ta ban anything. I have one of those motors and tha women absolutely love it. Tha vibration turns them on

[@m.hildanhildan41]

Brilian awesome

[@Modlendingen]

Nice rig, the Detroit 2 strokes are the best for converting oil and diesel into raw noise and power :) The blower is needed for pushing air into the cylinders on compression stroke and pushing the exhaust out on exhaust stroke :)

[@robertburke3316]

Screamin Detroit! I was waiting for that thing to run away on you lol. Great job gang!

I appreciate that

[@buslife8076]

It can run away if one side has a stuck injector unless it has the newer style rack. If it runs away you can’t prevent it with the vice grips.

[@ionracer24]

u gotta use the flap to shut it down

[@Romans--bo7br]

@@ionracer24...you would be correct in most cases, except there was no emergency shut down (air block-off plate) on this engine, as there is a marine type air filter housing mounted directly onto the roots, leaving no room under the hood to "sandwhich" the shut-down housing between the roots & the filter housing.

[@Romans--bo7br]

The wrecker unit is shop built or otherwise known as home made. Those depend on how good the builder was ? Most were very capable of towing and basic winching procedures but the booms may not extend out or swing to the side as well as elevate.
