Will it start and drive after 12 years? | Wabco 101F Part I

#Wabco #Cummins #coldstart
Today on the channel we start a mini series - bringing the Wabco 101F back to life. This machine has been sitting for 12 years since its last use and about 4 since it had last been started. It has put in countless hours in its life but it just has not been needed over the last few years. Nevertheless, we are going to get it in operational shape so it will be ready for its next opportunity.
This earthmover or sometimes called a scraper has a V8 Cummins V-504 diesel in it. The machine is used to scrape up dirt into its 9 yard belly pan and then it can offload elsewhere.

You are giving me the fever to get mine going.

[@Romans--bo7br]

dieseJL..... as for your Cummins power (sadly they didn't pick Dertoit Diesel for this model).... it's 504 ci, which was a smaller industrial version of the "triple nickel" (555 ci). The 504 in your 101F was factory rated at 178 hp.

I bought one new in 1980. Ran it over 20000 hours dug several hundred ponds with it. Great machine. 11 yd. 504 Cummins.

As long as it’s not a 470; they were junk. Versatile used that engine in the 145 4 wheel drive

[@richardbarnard247]

The engine in those was a 504, about 185 hp, and notoriously cold blooded. The one we had, if the sun went behind a cloud, you got the starting fluid out. They had the best hp to yard in the industry. Scare the crap out of you, when they rock down on their nose. Over all a good little machine.

I nose dropped a full loaded 621 b closed in cab scraper off a 20 foot hill side and nearly flipped it on it's side, I craped my pants 3 times once in the scraper and twice more just thinking about it

Well I guess we all had to start somewhere and learn somehow but I give the starter two or three thumbs up it was the star of the show now that you got it running start saving for a starter I really love to hear that old time running again thank you guys for taking the time to post this keep them coming

I’ll pat the starter on the back for you 🤣🤣

[@willbreaker2056]

@Kevin Davis……..I definitely agree, the ether was a good idea but if they would have just thought of that before grinding the starter to a smoking cinder …..oh well, still gave a thumbs up. neat to hear the old beast run.

[@VolvoGonzo]

Those got to be the best batteries I've ever heard of. I've never seen a battery turning engine over that long and that strong and not wear out

[@philippschaad4426]

the car is hooked to the batteries.

[@wmden1]

Good way to burn a starter up, too. It needs a break every 15, or so seconds, if not a little shorter time. Turning that size engine, like that, puts a lot of stress on a starter.

[@stevelutzke9600]

My Dad had a model D scraper many years ago without the elevator and it was the model without a steering wheel. It just had a toggle switch that you moved left or right. I was maybe 7-8 years old at that time. It was his first motorscraper.

Amazingly enough we have one of those too. If you look in the other video you might be able to see it!

I believe that’s a V-555 with 380hp and 780fpt . They were used in boats and commercial grade vehicles back in the 70’s and 80’s that’s about when Cummins bought out Onan company ( generators ) .

[@earljohnson9952]

Don't thank I would want them working on my equipment.

[@JessicaTG2008]

Its amazing the amount to large equipment just abandoned in forests, fields... golf courses just sitting there for years, for whatever reason. Seems the me that if a company/owner has that much money they can just walk away from a machine they invested in, they are charging too much money to do the job in the first place.

[@Bigmike3406E]

It’s called a self loading scraper. It’s a little finish scraper That picks up dirt or base winrows from a motor grader when he’s making grade and moves materials were they want it either to a stock pile or a low area making fine grade in streets .looks like a 903 Cummins in there.

[@leaomartinofaria1667]

O que é o mecânico profissional... concerta ao vivo!

[@gspringellable]

Ooh, I noticed that you trapped the battery terminals on the battery that didn't have the vice grips on. Which is a big no no, as it breaks the seal around the terminals which let's it the sulphuric acid onto the terminals causing a build up of corrosion on your terminals. This causing a bad connection leading to bad starting eventually. Try opening up the terminal with a small spanner or a large flat bladed screwdriver. 😊

Spray some starting fluid in it before you burn up the starter......

Yes, the secret weapon effect

[@stevenluebbert8617]

As best I recall, these had a 903 Cummins... That is 903 CI! Yes, the steering took some getting used to... you moved the wheel in the direction you wanted to turn and held it there until you were as 'sharp' as wanted, then released it... to straighten out you turned the wheel the Opposite direction until you were straight... In other words, the steering wheel just worked a standard hyd valve, NOT an orbital valve... The Other thing about these was that exhaust blowing directly onto the cutting edge... Since they were primarily for finishing (I worked with a blade operator picking-up windrows and filling in any low spots!), that exhaust would blow the powdery dust/dirt all Over!! :)

[@wmden1]

If a diesel has no glow plugs, or other starting aids and it is blowing vapor out the exhaust when it turns over, more than likely, a shot of either will start it. I don't like to use it, but we do what we have to do, sometimes. If an engine has glow plugs, it is dangerous to use it, though.

Diesel does not go bad like gasoline as long as it's capped.

[@tuxer88]

Over here in Europe they add ethanol and some other bio shit things to diesel that binds with water. I can guarantee you, if your tank isn't completely filled up, condensation will form in the tank and bacteria start to grow on the bottom. After a year, there's so many sludge from the bactaria in the fuel system that it gets completely clogged up, such a pain. You're very lucky over there to still have some real diesel at the pumps :)

[@DaveJohnsonad5nm]

@@tuxer88 yes, I had to have a tank boiled out on a used truck I bought while staying at my home in Bulgaria a few years back. I had never heard of putting ethanol in diesel fuel before. Willie Nelson created a biodiesel some 20 or more years ago. If you let that sit more than 3 months algae would start to grow but it was made from sea algae. Straight diesel fuel though will still be fine decades later as long as it's kept clean.
