The brakes are called wedge type brakes. The end of the brake chamber rods have a wedge on them that drves between the brakes when applied

I think the rapport you two have & your easy-going conversation is every bit as important as your action. & I am very thankful that you keep it family friendly because my 8 year old nephew loves your channel!

[@larrymoons2258]

Hank and Wiley’s main talent is to give entertaining conversations for hours and still not say anything!! Merry Christmas to both of you guys!!

[@rosshall641]

It sounds like it's a just a little VT 212 Cummins because the 903 wouldn't have as much room under that hood

[@richardcline1337]

Wiley, "I see the dipstick!" as he's looking at Hank. Seeing those old trucks sure brings back a lot of memories. Ducky Johnson's crews were top notch at moving buildings including my house.

1) You guys have me wanting to go pick up some lemon cookies when I'm at the store next. 2) You're always fun to watch, and get me motivated to work on my own projects. 3) I'll never be able to catch up with all your videos, and that's fantastic! Keep it up!

[@jimmyjazz9014]

Merry Christmas guys. Cummins put out a 903 and 555. 903 (295 hp) was awesome in its day. 555 (180 hp?) was not so good, Head gaskets being main issue. Very common in Australia and New Zealand.

[@brandonbayles9879]

Hank in the video clip of Wiley loading the skidded, he asks about a better way to release parking brake. How about using a porta power hand pump? Make a hyd hose with a fitting on one end that will screw on to the skidder the other end of the hose have a hyd rated ball valve screwed onto that end, next attach the porta power quick release to the other end of the ball valve. Open valve handle use the pump to release the brake then close off the valve handle and remove porta power pump. Brakes stay released until valve handle is opened to release pressure.

[@Kowboy931]

Another successful "Will it smoke?".... great job fellas!!!

[@AJmx2702001]

Those were a decent engine despite what the bulk of the truckers said about them. With that being said, what I learned about them they were first started up production in 1967. Non-turbo versions were nothing that set the world on fire and I think they were noted for crankshaft failures. I had a couple of Massey tractors that supported a 903. They were like 280 on non-turboed and then about 320 for the turboed. But on the flip side government use them extensively and I think they still may even produce them for military. With the latest versions being 600 horsepower. For an engine that was basically going to be Cummins answer to a Detroit 871. My pulling tractors use them V8 blocks 903 from marine version. They respond pretty good on alcohol fuel and 4 turbos . They actually wanted to make them totally illegal because they ran so good and check to pulling.

[@bradleybennett6768]

Great job guys. Love Wileys insert.

Yes guys ! It's a 903 Cummings ! These things have to wind up like an old Detroit Diesel engine to stay together. Put many a mile on one of these old engines!! So excited to even see one these old dinosaurs !! Please make it run !!

The Big Brake and throttle pedal on the floor was like the mack, that's made so you can toe and heal the throttle and the brake when you're downshifting

They got to love them old big and small cam Cummins they're like a slant six they're very forgiving and they'll just keep on going

[@jurgenkuhlmann9194]

There is nothing more fascinating than "turning rust"🙂! Tools needed: a crescent wrench / adjustable spanner, a set of batteries, maybe a crowbar for checking whether the engine is locked - and that's it!

[@davekauffman8727]

I love you guys, Hank knows my music, and Wiley has the jokes, well, better jokes. I don't get tired of seeing you two work on old engines and getting them going. I would suggest putting two videos back-to-back instead of one in the middle of the other, though. 🙂

[@johnnyh409]

That very well may have been a surplus military vehicle at one time.

[@randallriggs2159]

I sure do love listening to Hank and Wiley. A mountain of information . Funny to.

[@davidjernigan7576]

Where I used to work there was a big twin turbo v block cummins that was used as the starting device for a 20MW Westinghouse gas turbine generator. The whole setup was from the 1960s.

[@raywilson800]

I thought that was a VT903 at first glance, however after seeing the top of the engine I would say that's the dreaded "triple nickel". A Cummins 555 V-8. Very similar to the IH DV-550. More gasoline engine than diesel engine but still very popular. I got very good service from both in mobile home toters.

[@roncase8072]

Merry Christmas hank and Wiley. Thank you for the videos throughout this year and look forward to what you guys have for us in 2023! God bless you both!

[@allisonbrown3385]

The engines were popular in the seventies. They were originally sold as a v903 non turbo and then sold as a turbo vt903

[@marktiitto7616]

Starting them old dogs is good stuff . From a old wrencher.

[@roymiller6964]

That is a 903 Cummins diesel for sure. I worked on several of those while in the army. They were used in the Bradley infantry and Cavalry fighting vehicles

[@johndenton5555]

Talk, and work, the correct balance = good video. I know these things for certain: I'm 69 years old, live in Florida, and I should be hanging out with you guys. I have a bad hip, which did not stop me from rapidly going upstairs carrying a load, also 2-blown discs, which had never bothered me for the 35 years between their occurring, and when I broke the femur on the bad hip leg. Now I am falling apart more than mended. I realized this seeing Wiley pick those batteries up with his fingertips, lift them and set them out. Before the hip went out,I routinely lifted a 355Lb high voltage transformer into/out of the bed of a pickup truck, they had away to install the hook points, or insert steel rods through the edge flange to lift it with a hoist, but setting it up and putting it away took an hour, and I could pick it up with my fingertips by the flanges. The thought of batteries gave realization I would have to 'work my way back up' to that. THAT man Wiley is a HOSS!😎

[@chrisackerley1842]

Please show these old trucks once you get them on the road [or, at least, after you get them moving]. A lot of us would like to see them in action.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

We do that sometimes…when the buyer gives us videos of it. But we don’t put them back on the road, we sell 90% of what you see and let the buyer do the rest. 👍

[@ericmjunker7883]

Wiley 4Ton HF porta power. Remove line from breaks, Hook up adaptor fitting. Connect Porta power and pump up to relise breaks. save fitting for next job. Keep it with PP for next time

Those trucks are nice. That heavy-duty style frame with the high ground clearance were used for all kinds of heavy hauling trucks. Everything from heavy quarry dumpers to logging rigs and house movers. The big V8 Cummins sounds good even if it isn't the most powerful thing ever. :)

[@gwstonemason]

As a VT903 owner, this engine doesn't sound like a 903 natural, or otherwise. All 903's had the PT pump in the valley. Looks more like a 555 judging by the rocker covers and exhaust manifolds which seems odd in a double frame rail truck, the cans on the back look like wedge brakes as others have said.

[@johnmcgreevy742]

[@StephenRichards-nu5bk]

Suggestion; try putting a quick connect fitting on the machine to fit your porta power and use hyd fluid instead of grease. I doubt that a fitting would cost more than the hose your using. Maybe someday upgrade to an electric pump.

[@garyharrall4002]

20 years! And it fired off that easy. That's amazing. Hope you guys had a wonderful Christmas.

[@MrEferrell]

Seeing that low horsepower number on the door plate makes me think it is a 555 Cummins. Lowest hp rating I could find on the 903 was 255.

You could use the hydralic from a running skidder and a longer hose to pressuriz the parking brake use a quick conncet fitting it will hold the pressure in

So if I'm not mistaken that has unit injectors and the fuel pump there pumps the fuel through passage ways in the block and goes to the unit injectors
