Love my CB but I need to have it repaired. For some reason on the grapevine it only speaks Spanish.

[@billmoran3812]

I completely agree, never run a diesel without water in the cooling system. Like you said, those engines have precombustion chambers with rubber seals and rubber liner seals. Even without those things water pump seals running dry etc is bad. So many guys do this. Then they wonder why they get problems. If I were you I’d pressure test the cooling system on that engine before installing it. If you have to pull the head, it’s a lot easier now.

[@bradcroy7904]

Drove a New 1973 W900 KW with a1693 TA 13spd what a Great Engine the sound climbing a mountain with straight pipes and that big turbo was a feeling all its own. Great Engine thanks for the video

[@geraldheitman7687]

I worked for a Cat dealer for years. I totally agree with you, never running any engine without coolant in it. The 1693TA is almost as tough as a 6 1/4" bore D353 PCTA my favorite engine or the D343 PCTA. I remember one D353 that had 60K hours on it before it was shutdown for overhaul.

[@justincarson4812]

Hi Jeff Justin carson here just wanted to thank you for the comments about truck drivers not being the one for causing all the wrecks your industry and mine are the ones keeping the country going I haul chicken and produce for a living keep up the good work

[@yankeewatchdog7299]

Love them old 1693s...If you were buying a used truck, and heard one idling on the lot, you'd walk right on past it. At idle, they sound like an old washing machine. They pulled hard...

[@morgansword]

I really don't remember when I subscribed but maybe you know with all the technology available. I'm 72 now and just hanging on as different parts of me fail. I keep telling em to let me go as I just got no reason to rob air from the young anymore. After some very tremulous years in the continental, I came to alaska to live forever as no one there gave two cents.... believe me I had to work my brain to keep that easy reading. I did my short hitch in army came home to nothing so here I am. Living outside wasilla alaska. As my tastes wain from the work I did as a kid now as I reflect on my years in my thirties and forties, as a mechanic in the southeast on the different islands and trust me nothing like todays shops. After losing three boys in four years it kinda took the wind out of me and I stepped back to sniff the flower bed I pissed on off the porch. I got hurt bad enough to cripple a small bear and I just couldn't fight it no more. I caught a man who fell from a ladder and I should of said "Ol lay" in spanish of course but nope not geared that way and he landed on his feet when I set him down with a torn t shirt pocket. Me; NOT so good, I had several broken vertebrae in my neck and my lumbar was mush. I told you this before and your going to remember like the ex who remembered everything I ever did wrong in my life... my entire life and some. Well long and short the fifteen years have been long and miserable and doctors think your a pill chaser cause they don't see the problem till one finally did find it and it was too late to fix cause of age and no suicide by doctor rule and I am telling to just go for it, one way or another if it ain't enjoyable then count me in a new game. The reasons for commenting, I have been all over that area many years ago and like Wallis Idaho those buildings of brick and mortar have been there since someone trapped beaver out of the ponds. Maybe not that long but a while. So nice to ride along. The other is a guy I know local who is a snowbird, texas in winter months and here in sommer. He has a truck up on one of his properties where he keeps a bunch of internationals and there is a old long nose KW that has a 1693 in it and was parked because of a broken bellhousing. It was a long haul truck and that guy who owned it had marital problems and just never came back for it. I would say its been there twenty years and according to my buddy, It still ran great and it was complete except for that bellhousing. I can't remember much now as its been some time since I seen it and it is not easy for me to get out so if they are scarce, then I can give you his no. and put the two of you in contact with each other. I really liked that big black truck and reminded me of one I had that had gone too far and wouldn't hold liners anymore. I would get up and let five gallons of water out of the oil pan... and that was from driving it thinking go ahead and blow up but no it just kept on ticking. Tighten the drain plug and refill all the orifices so things were right and it moved anything you wanted to move and I mean anything. I have never heard a engine purr any better. Well thats my story and I am sticking to many parts of it as ninety nine and one hundred per cent true as I can remember

[@Jpaydirt]

where are you located now Morgan

[@morgansword]

@@Jpaydirt The last fifteen years has been wasilla and then Anchorage and then for that was islands of the southeast alaska. Sorry as I am so tired that I got to take a nap

[@vastylebbq5203]

Jeff, Your working that mail box pretty hard. Better get Jake to lay some hard facing on the bottom! Stay well. CAT power forever. !!

[@jackdotzman2908]

I really admire your knowledge of Cat engine’s. It is interesting to listen to you talk about engines like this or when you tear an engine down for overhaul. I spent my career installing, servicing and selling printing presses, so to listen to a guy who is spending his life working on and around diesel driven equipment is most interesting. Thanks for making the videos and .......sharing your knowledge. From Missouri

[@joem2554]

Great video. I enjoyed the Idaho tour. I loved the tour thru Wallace. The center of the universe. Thanks

[@iusetano]

That bicycle trail is the ex Milwaukee Road railroad main line. I have video from when it ran. There are some on You Tube also. Thank you for taking us on tour. Excellent video Jeff.

[@kw900lkevin]

for truck drivers the hours of service is only waived if you have written confirmation from shipper that the load is essential relief supplies

[@theoregontruckerT880]

Wow I can’t believe cat was making engines in 1693, way ahead of their time

[@davidfrank6666]

dat is how we got dat climb ate problem, after all dese years.

[@kellykonoske91]

I drove commercially for 36 yrs., so I agree with what you say about 4 wheelers Jeff. And I never had a truck without a CB in it. Todd Konoske the retired trucker.

[@colinsymonds4665]

Love watching your video . Me an old dozer operator I run d6 d7 d8 d9 d10 but it was time to get off all that . Bought my own truck a 86 super liner based in st George QLD Australia I have had it 18 yrs now anyway have fun . Colin

Growth in Northern Idaho is not due to what's there. It's because of what's not there: California.

[@oldpete3153]

Yup...just like Corona...Cali is exporting the Liberal disease to all states.

[@buildmor]

Totally agree and was taught the same way with the start up policy: never, ever, ever, ever, start up a diesel without any water in it!!! I hope those pre-cup O-rings are OK, 🤞🤞

[@briananderson1781]

Used to tow army tanks with Caterpillar 830M ex-military tractors that had a 1693 engines. These tractors had the dozer blade removed and the pan, were weighed down to 60,000 lbs and had a big tow bar on the back.

[@johnmclaurinmclaurin924]

I believe in equipment the same engine is called a D343

[@stuartroland9605]

Hello Jeff .I liked the trip to pick up the cat engine .Stay safe in this time of the virus .Take care .See Ya .

[@oldpete3153]

Running an engine of any type that's water cooled when dry scares the hell out of me...the first thing that came to mind was how often or who else was this done for. You cook the crevice seals around the liners and that's big time work to correct...my 2 cents worth.

[@MrRoberoni117]

The old theme music is back!!! You rock!!!

[@stephenroberts4895]

The Hiawatha Trail is what was left behind when the Milwaukee Road Railway (Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad) abandoned most of its western network (downsized to less than 5,000 route miles). Something funny I learned about this virus is this: If a drunk consumes nothing but Corona Beer, does he have a 'corona-virus'?

[@benharleman587]

Stephen Roberts Good old Milwaukee Road!

Beautiful country jay,always liked America.

[@tituspullo1957]

Thanks for the road trip Jeff.Really nice country you have there.I hope that 1693 works out for you if not at least the parts off of it are worth more than what you paid.

[@KT3406E]

I don't know anything about the precup engines but I can say for sure there's no issue running E model or C15 family engines without water in them, as long as it's only for a short time. No issues with upper filller bands, etc. Cool old engine. Enjoyed the video.

[@rangeroverl322]

Great to have the old intro back 👍👍

[@Digginok]

Was taught to never run a diesel of any kind without some sort of cooling water, at least a garden hose. Hard to tell how much that one has been ran without water, hopefully it will be fine. Heck of a drive pretty country thanks for sharing.

[@WestCoastChris138]

People gettin outta CA, that’s what drivin it lol!!

[@alangee79010]

What a nice run to get your new motor. Sounded great and IMHO I would of blocked both ends of the engine to add another layer of protection and to prevent any slippage if you had needed to shut it down in a hurry I'd like to live up in Idaho if I weren't sickly. Washington DC has some of f the best medical in the entire country and I reckon I'll die over here. But pretty country and clean air.

[@stroked550]

Coolant line in pan and quick release is probably to preheat engine off of a pickup or service truck. Seen it before on skidders. Pull up to job, connect cooling lines from truck to equipment, sit in truck for half hour and let it warm up the other engine

[@stevecarlisle3323]

Madill Logging Equipment used the 1693 in most of their logging tower builds. Great engine. They were laying all over the BC coast, until the scrappers with barges came in and cleaned up all that old iron.

[@nickrandol9133]

Been awhile since I’ve driven that stretch. Done it several times back in the 80s and 90s, between Seattle and Cody, from my Navy days.... Beautiful drive, and nice engine find.

In my part of Oregon we have an abandoned RR that has been turned into a bike path and walking trail. It cuts through prime farm land and they have placed restrictions on using herbicides and insecticides within 150 ft. of the trail. Farmers are not happy with this requirement. Trail users also contribute to a lot of unwanted litter in the fields.

[@shiftrk1255]

Once my wife is able to return from deployment in Afghanistan we will be checking out that trail!!!! She is stationed in Great Falls, MT. We have friends from Alaska that moved to CDL. Thanks for the info!! Great video too!!

Glad you and the 1693 made it back in one piece. And you're right truckers don't use their radios anymore, I think most have them to talk to scales and shippers but keep them turned off when on the road.

My 1693 is white, it is also unmolested. It resides in a 74 K100. 330k original miles.

[@tieroneactual2228]

Excellent! We drove a ‘76 Pete Cabover that had a 1693 in it. It would go up a hill/mountain like a Mountain Goat! Sitting in a truck stop idling sometimes it sounded like a trash can rolling across the cement lot, but point it in any direction & it would run with just about everything else out there on the road!

Remember when Wallace had the only traffic light on i 90. Use to haul out of a gold mine there.

[@Dave_9547]

I don't think that there is any question that four wheelers are a major contributor to a lot of truck accidents. Yes, the four wheelers do stupid things, but suspect a lot of it is simply congestion that is not present now. If you have a pretty much open roads there is a lot less chance of getting tangled up with a bunch of squishy cars. Number one rule, stay away from semi trucks when driving, they are bigger and heavier than you are. LOL
