My first ride in a rig was 1978... a mack v8. I declared it the greatest rig engine ever. I asked why all rigs are not v8s.. and it is due to the tracks of dozers and road building equipment needing a 6cyl for width. They could make a v8 of the 90 degree kind and be most welcome today. Mack is the only one that did something real, and they went away. 41 years of family trucking.. change my mind.

@@sheepdog271 the real shame is that the "then owners" of Mack trucks were squandering the company's assetts and mismanaging things.

Well, in the beginning, they partnered with deere and built engines that couldn't be started without a gas engine. Then they built indirect injected engines, that the heads were cast entirely from tiny cracks. Then they built the 3406, which was good. But also a bunch of v8's, which were not. They built small electronically controlled engines, that were worse than their v8's. Then they got in bed with perkins to brand little junk engines with poorly sealed heads and inadequate cooling, with the cat logo.

@akallio90004 жыл бұрын
It's not just the torque, but also the beefy components that allow them to run at 70 to 80 percent of rated horsepower all day long. Cars only needed big horsepower numbers to get up to speed or pass other cars, cruising along at a steady speed only took 15 to 20 horsepower. Similarly, starter motors to crank the engine only became popular when the manufacturers finally realized that the motor didn't need to be developed for continuous duty, but max 30 seconds of use.

Year's ago I worked for a hard rock contractor who always ran old iron. 1 of those was a 1958 D9H No ROPS or FOPS, no hydraulic either. It was a "cable dozer" that used a 2 cylinder gasoline Pony motor that was used to start the main engine, it's starter was the size a Ford V8 gas engine starter. You started it, then once it was running you engaged it to the main engines flywheel, letting it spin the big diesel engine as you slowly fed it fuel. It would then chug to life and kick the pony motor out. On cold mornings you would spin the big Cat engine for 2 to 3 minutes so it could build enough heat it the cylinders by compressing just the air ( which is how they run- compression ignition) before putting fuel to the injectors.

Excellent and informative video! You must have scoured KZbin for some time to accumulate footage featured here. I recognize quite a bit of the vintage footage, as well as the short video of the Diesel 60 being started up. That engine was listed for sale some time back by an equipment dealer in NY, and this video showed that it started easily and ran well. The tractor is now fully restored (there's a video out there of it at a show). Quick note... Haven't watched #2 yet, but the the D13000 replaced the D11000 in the later RD8 and D8. The D11000 in RD8's is pretty rare, at least in surviving machines. I've only seen one or two on KZbin, with the majority of D11000's as part of a genset (diesel generator), at least in surviving units. There's a few iterations of D11000's as well, which can be identified by the type/position of the air cleaner/intake, as well as the intake and exhaust manifold type/configuration. The D17000, as well as being a marine engine (new to me), was produced as an OEM diesel for locomotives, draglines, excavators, gensets, etc... A few industrious individuals have retrofitted them into D7's and D8 in modern times and I've read that some dealerships "back in the day" offered that service to customers, though I've never seen any photographic evidence of it done. There are several videos of "modern" D17000 retrofits here on KZbin. Makes for a "beast" of a tractor! Again... Great video!

What is not mentioned here is that over the road diesel engines were not really possible until fuel injection systems could be made small enough. That happened about 1925 or so,and the company that manufactured the buses for London Transport pretty much pioneered the technology. AEC I think it was. So Caterpillar was right up there following a new technology in an application different from moving buses over paved roads. A smart thing to do,continuing research until sure of customer satisfaction rather than spitting out a product in a hurry and hoping for the best. Cats were never cheap to buy. Antagonizing people who have spent much money is never wise. Good for them.
