History of Cummins Engines | Diesel History Episode Two - Part 1 (Pre-WWII)

[@jordyking597]

not only did he invent the Cummins diesel engine, he also was the first to do a Cummins swap. My hat is off to you Clessie.

[@TugboatMatt]

Great video. I own a tugboat that has the original 1946 Cummins HMR-4 4 cylinder engine. The builder of the tug named Russel brothers was a big dealer of Cummins engine as one of the partners was also a Cummins dealer named Norman Hipwell

[@losidude05]

I have read the book about Clessie Cummins and it’s a little over technical at times but the life of Mr Cummins is still worth the read!!!

[@jackschromeshop8296]

Very true. A mechanical genius.

[@heinzkitzvelvet]

I grew up in the neighboring town of North Vernon Indiana. My grandmother retired from Cummins after 19 years. I love Columbus. Lived there several years myself. Now I love in the other neighboring town of Seymour. Famous for John Mellencamp.

[@danielsherrill7085]

Until this year, every company I’ve worked for has run the, now old, 855 Cummins in their dump trucks. They’ve all been tough and hard to kill, even though most have head gasket leaks. Ours have kept going and going if properly maintained. A little underpowered against a lot of modern engines, but they get the job done still today. The new truck we just got has a 500 hp Detroit 60 Series and I’m loving the extra juice. Hopefully it’ll be a great engine for years. I’ll always have a fondness for the old Cummins.

[@chevyon37s]

Having been to the Indy 500 the past two years in a row, and visiting the museum it’s awesome to see the Cummins Powered race cars! They also ran one around the track just before the race this year!

[@kxp.1496]

The old footage was awesome. Thanks

[@peteacher52]

I'm pretty sure that the Marmon-Herrington air-conditioned articulated buses used by the Nairn brothers had Cummins diesels of 150hp for their across-the-desert bus service between Beirut and Baghdad in the 1930s. Heroic pioneering trail-blazing indeed!

[@anthonynelson9136]

I started out in a cab over Freightliner with a 318 Detroit road oiler. I then bought a cab over Kenworth with a 350 Cumapart, and then I got wise and bought a Peterbilt conventional with a 425 Cat.

[@beaverdam3252]

Cool video I love the old Cummins engine I got a 335 in a B773 mack I'm restoring thanks for the great videos

[@jesustrevizo3148]

Awesome series. Looking forward for next episode.

[@chrismchenry9891]

I like cummins engines I have a dodge pickup with a 12 valve in it and that thing is a animal for pulling and like how it sounds as well

[@mrt9689]

Don’t ever get rid of the rig bro. 12valves are more than million mile engines

[@gregw8232]

Interesting presentation and informative. Thank you

[@jackschromeshop8296]

Thank you for watching 🙏

[@xcalibertrekker6693]

I would have really liked to hear some technical details of why it was so good and revolutionary. Still interesting though thanks.

[@andysmith5220]

[@jackschromeshop8296]

Thank you for watching!

[@JoseRamirez-vy3rq]

Thanks 🙏

[@dhbplusect7052]

should do one the jacob's brake

[@mrbusdr]

Were you aware that Clessie Cummins invented the Jake brake? He was already retired from Cummins engines so he sold the patent to the Jacobs company.

[@johnlandis5889]

Best jake break ever Cummins

[@cencoast_7.340]

[@insolentstickleback3266]

Nice Micromentary! Thank You!

[@guyconnell2250]

Wasn't the Interstate Highway system started in the 50s under Eisenhower?

[@jackschromeshop8296]

Correct, the New Deal funded what was the beginning of the interstate highway system.

[@klesmer]

The Interstate Hiway system was started by Pres. Isenhower [sp] in rhe early 1950s.

[@mikefrech1123]

The car that made the cross-country trip in 1930 was an Auburn, not a Packard.

[@devinruhl9706]

The guy who created the engine is my great times uncle on my moms side

[@jackschromeshop8296]

Very cool!! You are related to diesel royalty!

[@devinruhl9706]

Jack's Chrome Shop yes sir It is my grandpa was in the navy during world war 2 he told me about before he died two years ago he was 95

[@RustyCarnahan]

I have a video on my channel showcasing a Cummins horizontal single cylinder Hvid Diesel engine seen at Portland Indiana in 2011.

[@evil_me]

Enjoyed it, but I would prefer a little longer video

[@jackschromeshop8296]

Agreed. We will be doing full-length specials for each of our history videos, they just take forever to make. Short videos for now.

[@Jerrydmech]

He invented the compression brake but had to go to the Jacob’s drill chuck company for funding... known now as the “Jake Brake”.

[@thewelfairshop4164]

That's legit cool as fuck

[@kevinbarry71]

It's about Cummins engines but you told us virtually nothing about the engines themselves

[@jimtwodogs3084]

H model

[@cencoast_7.340]

How do you figure? He Spent the entire video explaining how it came to be. This video is about the history, not the mechanics of the engine. Der der.

[@Gearz-365]

Over 100 years of history on the company, and now they're going to help revive internal combustion with hydrogen engine technology, and will use these special engines on 2027 Ram models

[@joshuawalsh8533]

Part 2 please...I was about to subscribe until I seen you lied

[@jackschromeshop8296]

I know we suck. We want part 2 to be epic because part 1 may have been lack luster. It will be out this Friday. Sorry Josh

There was NO INTERSTATE HIWAYS IN THE US UNTIL THE 1950s what you were referencing was the US hiways

[@andyharman3022]

But the US highways did go from state to state. So they were interstate.

[@timerickson7056]

@@andyharman3022 there were us hiway and still are you can average 30 miles per hour . 1938 it took 6 weeks for a military convoy to go from the east coast to the west coast. they were NOT INTERSTATE HIGHWAYs . the interstate highway was a result of WWII eisenhower seeing the German autobahn. the interstate highway system was originally a rapid military deployment system. to get men and equipment moved rapidly to any point in the united states in 72 hours.

[@cencoast_7.340]

@@timerickson7056 But the highway went from one state to another…so they were indeed interstate.

[@timerickson7056]

@@cencoast_7.340 lol the interstate highway system was developed based on hitler's autobaun a multi lane hiway designed to be move military and equipment throughout the nation quickly prior to the interstate highway system it took months for the army to go from the East coast to the west coast.but you are a dumb ass aren't you

I’m sure the old Cummins engines were great. I can tell you from personal experience that my modern day Cummins Isx15 is total junk. I’m guessing that has everything to do with these dumbass emission control bullshit

What did you do to it?
