Hank, the FWD trucks are made in Clintonville, WI. They are now under the name of Seagrave, and they are primarily making firetrucks. I grew up in Clintonville and the high school there is named Clintonville Truckers. This is cool seeing some history.

[@theodoredugranrut8201]

I recognize the Sea Grave apparatus name

[@lenarmstrong4075]

Yep, I grew up in Shawano, right next to Clintonville, had friends that worked there, these drivetrains were almost indestructible really good truck

[@phillipgarrow2297]

I drove a 1974 fwd redi mix truck with a big 6 cylinder continental engine

[@robandnell4305]

Zshould be a air shutoff on the air intake

[@davida.p.9911]

Gotta love that sound! The sound of POWER! This is the first time I've ever seen an FWD. They kinda remind me of a Ford in some ways. Like an old 900 from that same era. Great job as always guys!! 😎👍

[@tracylemme1375]

FWD (Four Wheel Drive) used cabs from other manufacturers. Most of the time the front clip was their own. IH was used as well as Dodge and Ford.

[@ProudPapaw88]

Good job, guys! Y’all boys are gettin good at this will it start lol. Keep up the good work boys. We’ll catch you on the next one! Thanks for sharing!!

[@toddmabey1299]

They maybe rare in the south...but up north, those FWD's were trucks that cleared the roads of snow when regular trucks couldn't get out of the driveway. They were beasts and nothing stopped them!!!!

[@ShawnCalay-hi6gy]

Actually I think Wisconsin highway department still has some, they still have Flintstone mack DMs but I think I saw some FWDs in the distance plowing

[@rooky55]

Yup, did that in northern Canada.

[@KenworthK100]

The Four Wheel Drive Auto Company, more often known as Four Wheel Drive (FWD), was a pioneering American company that developed and produced all-wheel drive vehicles. It was founded in 1909 in Clintonville, Wisconsin, as the Badger Four-Wheel Drive Auto Company by Otto Zachow and William Besserdich.[1] The first production facility was built in 1911 and was designed by architect Wallace W. DeLong of Appleton, Wisconsin.

[@randyownby4714]

Nothing sounds better than a Detroit Diesel running in my opinion. They are fun to drive. I really liked the wolf joke 🤣🤣 great job as always good to see you guys out and about

[@fishman211]

I was employed by the old SCL railroad and was involved in clearing a train wreck when a couple of other employees from another shop location arrived to assist. They were in a FWD. I've looked on line but haven't been able to find anything like the truck they had. It was similar in size to let's say a Ford F-250. What power that truck had. They were able to use it along with it's winch to pull several railcar truck assemblies from the heavily damaged roadbed. Just a pure, tough and powerful work truck.

[@phatboizbackyardkustomz9006]

Hank, it was an all wheel drive probably a cement truck. Rinker Materials had 100s of them thru out Florida back when I was a kid. those extra shifters were for the transfer case.

[@jayjones6904]

Rodger that brother rinker had a bunch theyd go anywhere

[@tomneubert5767]

I live in Minnesota and a retired city employee. We had several cab over FWD's that were used when we bought them and we used them for snow plowing streets. Still have two i think they are about 1970,s. They were once plow trucks at the Minneapolis International Airport and were in the movie AIRPORT. The two left are used as large snow blowers and run great and have Cummins power plants and Allison auto trannys

[@ralphnorris-vk8ff]

Thank you wiley for checking that rack first! I have seen them Detroits run away and it's not fun!

[@lowsonpearse]

Boy what a sweet old rig! Sounded so good when she roared to life and that turbo started whining.. love to get this one back into action! 😁👍🇦🇺

[@billbray5995]

Thanks for taking us along.Another great video.

[@carlbliim4456]

This FWD maybe new to you but I first saw a FWD in 1947/8 when my dad had to do a rework on the tranmission to let it travrl at hiway speeds. It was a US Tank carrier, I was an apprenticed shortly afterward. Later I was able to purchase a 1914 X army FWD and I owned it for some 30 years until I had to move house I sold it to the Australian War Memorial in Canberra where it is now on display. A great solid vehicle manufacturay. More history I can send to you if you would like it. Thanks for the memories. Carl, Woy Woy Australia.

Haven't seen one of those old girls in a minute! I was a Detroit Tech for the Navy back in the day and I drove one of these around constantly at the CB Base. They had a couple of them, 6x6 with a stake body, 6-71 Screamer is one of my Detroit favorites.

I have a 1959 FWD 4-yard dump truck, it's equipped with a 5 speed transmission and a 2 speed transfer box. The engine is a straight six gas International Harvester. I load it with a skid steer but the bucket barely makes it over the side of the bed!

Great video you guys! Always fun watching you start those old engines. *Keep on tractoring!*

[@bobtucker8875]

That ole girl started up real nice 😉. Thanks 👍 for sharing.

[@JohnSmith-kz1ll]

I put a 2-53 Detroit on my 10 bandit chipper and it's a beast for being from the sixties and only 2 cylinders. Found the chipper in a field with a locked up motor so found the cheapest motor I could find and it's been kicking butt for 2yrs now.

[@randy51]

You goofed, Hank. That’s an alternator, not a starter. LOL!

[@detroit149]

You need to be putting vice grips on all those racks on any Detroit you try and start!!!

[@LaLaLand.Germany]

Man, that thing sounds sweet! Sitting for know how long and it lights up as if parked yesterday- I didn´t even see starter can and on one battery- I can see now why the guy hung on to this half of the truck. When the chassis is too far gone at least You get a decent engine. Merry Christmas, Guys!

[@57WillysCJ]

FWD used to be the Badger FWD company. They made the first fwd car in 1908. Still around as it was at a Wisconsin car show a few years ago. They were a major supplier of WW1 trucks. Last I knew there was one of their early trucks at the Walcott I80 truck museum at the truck stop. Some of the original guys had a management dispute, they left and formed Oshkosh.

[@johnshei3155]

FWD pioneered the 4 wheel drive, Oshkosh stole there engineering & put FWD out.

[@RalphOlsen-ex9ip]

Great job

[@ronniejohnson317]

My first time watching any of your videos. Love it. The first thing that I would have to do to any old engine or anything else would be to doctor the wasp stings.

Hank and wiley that was an amazing video 😊

[@grampageorge3407]

That sounded pretty good!

[@royfigley2099]

When I was a teenager, I worked at a wrecking yard here in east Texas where i live. We had one of those trucks that had been rolled. They sold it to a company down at Houston. They cut the top off and drove it from the Texas Louisiana border to Houston.

[@benjaminstockton3917]

[@alexhood9438]

build a frame for this sucker it wants to live! dint want to stop running either such a happy machine i love the sound of two stroke detroit diesels!

[@LimpmodeGang]

Well done👌👌👌

[@lynnlutjen261]

I remember back in early seventies Graves Truck Lines had these an ran them as city pick up trucks. Brings back memories also that 671 was an easy start they are usually a bear to get primed after sitting. They don't make great sounding underpowered motors like the old 2 stroke Detroit Great will it start 👍👍

[@kman-mi7su]

I was going to say the same, I drove a 78 White Road Boss with a 318 Detroit in it years ago. Everybody loves the sound of a Detroit but they were dogs for the most part. Loud and underpowered.

[@donwilson6617]

I grew up across the street from a cement block factory in central Florida...in the 60's and early 70's they used only FWDs to haul the finished blocks; they were equipped with air starts. every morning those air starters would wake me up. After my tour in the Navy I went to work in Oregon in the late 80s and in the Logging business and they had tons of FWDs...very strong and tough.

[@jayjones6904]

Im ole fla boy to saw lot of ole orange ready mix trks in ormond bch run ole fwd they got in and out in the sand cause Detroit's were lower power than trks with bigger engines we ran lot of dump truck with Detroit in them

[@alanrobinson4318]

Yes !!! I remember we had those FWD's when I hired into SCE. 1981. We also had a 1948 International which was our wire pulling truck for when I was building tower lines.

[@MrCaprinut]

My hometown here in Norway had several FWD trucks here from 1918 to the 60s, including a firetruck. There was also some with normal bed.

[@williammerritt3566]

It's a blessing and a curse having a good amount of tools, speend so much frustrating time chasing tools you know you have.

[@tomz7197]

sounds strong and good

[@yvindHvaal]

Back years I worked in a wrecking company. The oldest wrecker was a FWD, former military wrecker. Had a Detroit, no turbo and winches front and rear. When the modern wreckers had to give in on a job the FWD was brought back to life and it never failed to do the job. Normaly it would take for ever to get to the accident 'cause the beast was far from fast on the road. But it never failed us!

Good to check that rack I also when fooling with two stokers is a have a large CO2 fire extinguisher to just in case shoot into the air intake to kill it with out damage .

[@shrapnelsbunker736]

[@RODALCO2007]

Nice engine surprised it started so easy on 1 battery. One of the easiest starts for a while.

[@biglovesam]

Won't start that easy any more if this guy gets it. You never let air in the fuel system on purpose just to shut it down. Hard to watch that part and the waisted giant zip tie.

[@kevin-zt4ix]

I just retired last October 42 years trucking I never saw one of those or even herd of FWD but it would make sense that Oshkosh is the manufacturer!!

[@ToeCutter454]

i had to pick up my Timberland 6" Pitboss because those Georgia boots you have on are super close in design and construction. i may have to look into trying a pair out since the ones i have seem to be getting phased out. if they're anywhere near as comfortable as these then hell!

[@MrKeithsplace]

Worked on quit a few of those 671 GM generators, all of them in Telco offices, good old engines.

[@DanielTorres-xi5ru]

Amazing

[@stevehudson7429]

Make sure there's power to the coil from the battery.Then a wire coming out the other side going to the distributor. Put a new set of points and condenser in it. The condenser is pretty much a sure bet to be bad. Make sure the carb is clean, and set the mixture screw about 1 1/2 turns out from seat. That should get you close enough to light er up

[@zombieresponder]

I saw a Miller Roughneck welder/generator at 12:59. The rack was free, but you didn't check the injectors. Use a hammer and punch to tap(lightly)the top of the injector. If it's free, you'll see the spring move and the sound is definitely different. Stuck injector will sound pretty much the same as placing the punch on the head and hitting it with a hammer.

[@TheLonesometoad]

Our county road commission (Delta county, Michigan) uses all FWD trucks for snow removal.

Runs like it just came off the line. These were great motors.

[@theodorgiosan2570]

There's one of these near my mother's house that's a cement truck. I can hear it coming from a mile away. There's also a few around the marinas for moving the larger boats around. Tons of Detroits still around, in trucks, construction equipment, and in boats too.

[@willieboone1386]

OMG wiley wow hit hard with the first one

[@rogerray7820]

Plenty of FWD and CCC trucks in Texas and New Mexico. Mostly used in the oilfield.

[@HeirloomGameCalls]

The other sticks were for the transfer case... 2x4/4x4 on one stick and HI and LOW on the other. One may have been a PTO drive.

[@doughart1855]

Gm engineering still going strong!

[@lawnmowerdude]

Love Detroits. That pull handle above the key could be the engine shut down. Many of the Detroits I operate have a physical pull for shutting of the fuel.

[@petermccuskey1832]

The third lever is for a power take off I believe.

[@drewhall4553]

I was thinking it was for the transfer case as they were all four or six wheel drive, but you may be right about the PTO.

[@brokenarrow2835]
