Always great to see dad . Working you boys helps keep him young at heart . You can see in his eyes how happy he is when around you guys and the grandkids.

Running the rack came from the old 2 stroke detroits. Lots of stuff going on under those valve covers. Now its running the overhead.

[@leddielive]

If you can, change both seal and bushes on those rams, especially if that is the tractor with the all new singing & dancing auto steer, it'll really help tighten up the accuracy & actually create less wear from unnecessary steering corrections. Love the Bud model & hearing about its history, great seeing Robert with the grandchildren, its what life is all about, keep these videos coming. 😁🇬🇧

[@moparnmontana403]

I would change seals on both side!

[@mshafer2006]

Both terms work. I have heard it called “Running the Rack” and also heard it called “setting the overhead” when I worked for a truck dealership in the computer system of making work orders it was called “Overhead adjustment”. Hopefully Big Bud company lets y’all be the first farm to demo the new models when they come out.

running the rack is for engine with mechanical unit injectors, like old Detroit 2 strokes, running the overhead is your valve rocker adjustments and injector rocker adjustments. All in all they are different but are easily called the same.

[@carlthor91]

Running the rack, refers to the fuel rack on 2 stroke Detroit Diesels, which sets each fuel injector to open equally. Running the overhead, for 4 stroke Diesels, adjusting the valve/injector clearances.

[@timstroh216]

Hey Nick, you are going to set the over head on that motor, when you do that to a Detroit it's called running the rack!!!!!!! A Detroit is a little different than a Cummins !!!!!!!!

[@MF760]

Nick when you are hooking up two implements (truck and Batco) you shouldn't use double clevis hitches on both units. This doesn't allow the hitch point to flex over uneven ground.

[@pauliossi2674]

It's adjusting then valves or overhead, most diesels either have an injection pump to meter the fuel or cam/lifter operated injectors. The old Detroit 2 stroke diesels used the cam to fire the injectors, but they were individually metered with a mechanical rack that had to be adjusted to synchronize the fuel volume to control RPMs and power.

[@sallydunbar1683]

What an honor to get to showcase the little Big Bud! I enjoyed seeing Mr Bob with the grands and Koby. It's always great to see the family! I thought you were going to say LegArms was going to make you sweep his garage, but the bathroom is a whole different story! Simmer down Scott!😉

[@agentcrm]

Personally, I'm a fan of changing seals and bearings in pairs. If one cylinder has started leaking, the other one has the same amount of hours and working conditions.

[@ronmcmurray1954]

it's setting the overhead, running the rack came from the two stroke detroit's. they had a rack to control the injectors. you should adjust the valve bridge's when you set the valves. it will run smoother and is easier on the valves and bridge guides.

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Good to see bob and Colby on the go with the semi. Nice of grandpa bob to take the kids in the semi with him. Know they all enjoyed that I am sure. Grandpa too. More detail work on the big bud. Good you all keep up with what’s needs to be done. Yes, I would replace both cylinders bushings and seals.

The correct term is setting the overhead. Setting the rack is a term used for Detroit 2 stroke engine.

[@Look_What_I_Did]

Rack is the fuel side when the fuel quantity was controlled on the injector with a rack. Hence running the rack so all injectors were uniform. Over head is valves. Today people interchange the terms because they never had to work on the older diesels that had a fuel rack.

[@allenhrubes8598]

Hey Nick. Excellent use of the "Smoke Wrench" to remove those pesky bushings. Thanks for sharing your world with us. Take care and be safe.

[@BlueDually4x4]

A lot of mechanical fuel injection pumps had a rack that controlled the plungers in the pump to meter fuel, so running the rack wasn't just a 2 stroke thing. An overhead is basically checking everything in the head, valves, fuel injectors that are cam fired and jake brakes. As for the other steering cylinder, I have terrible luck so I would put new seals in both. Cause my luck would have that other cylinder failing at the worst time.

[@littletoze]

[@davesfarmforestvideos8395]

Running the rack is more for the 2 cycle Detroits. You are getting all the injectors synchronized to fuel at the same rate. I usually refer to the rest as setting the valves. This is where you check and adjust the valves that don’t have correct lash. Adjusting the overhead would be adjusting the valves and the rest of the stuff like jakes ect.

[@jimpolk]

Good to see your Dad and Kobe. Miss seeing them.

[@j.t.johnston3048]

Adjusting the valves is the overhead. The rack is in the injection pump.

[@brucewalker2276]

Running the rack is for Detroits . That sets the injectors. Do the overhead is setting the valves

[@MartinRodriguez-yr4gf]

Running the rack I believe refers to engines that have common rail injection where as just adjusting the intake and exhaust valves is running the overhead. Just from my experience not necessarily fact. Have a blessed day!

Ok, running the overhead is a term for adjusting the valves; running the "Rack" used to mean setting the injector rack on Detroit Diesels

[@c.w.frerking]

Another good one, the boss says we need to have an overhead ran, as in have a mechanic run the overhead, we do most things but have someone do that on our trucks for us

[@2010utube100]

Excellent vid as always. I would inspect those rods where they sit mid-stroke while going straight up and down the field. I have replaced the seals, only to have them still seep. The rods get worn ever so slightly and will leak. Even though there isn't much visual wear or damage. And ALWAYS do both at the same time-- if one is only leaking internally it will steer bad and with autosteer it will be constantly trying to over correct.

[@rossedema1]

I’m a heavy equipment mechanic from Michigan. My mentor always referred to it as, we have to “Cadillac the rack”. Right wrong or otherwise it’s a great phrase and what I’ll always use.

"Running the rack" came from adjusting Detroit unit injectors which use a rack and gear internally.

My Sunday got better…Hollywood,Dad& COBY the wonder Dog! It’s running the Rack…old school

[@haroldbenton979]

It's both you are setting the injection rack pressure setting and also running the overhead for the valve settings as Cummins engines has both a rack setting and an overhead valve lash setting. IIRC the injectors are set at 100 In lbs of torque at zero lash on the injector pushrods. The exhaust is 25 thou and the intake is 19 thou.

[@remmiemax3624]

[@gyclay]

Good stuff. Doing an overhead or running the rack essentially means the same thing to old school drivers like myself. My memory is more of running the rack on Detroit engines and doing an overhead on Cummins and Cat motors. But either one meant adjust the valve lash on the heads when talking to a service department. That and begging them to ''turn it up'' while they were in there adjusting things.😬Can never have enough power for a driver.!!

I (Detroit guy) always referred to setting the injectors as "running the rack", "setting the overhead" is (in my vernacular) adjusting the valve lash. Cummins guys say stuff all weird lol, 4 stroke diesels are just a fad anyway.

[@karldawnlang8936]

Just wondering on the ram, looked like a "dent" in it (11:42-11:55 also 12:40ish). Could be enough to irritate seal and cause future issues. Love the toy! Never got a chance to get 1/16 Big Bud. A gentleman in Kenmare ND made some as well.

[@ronaldblue8713]

If it's not having enough oil to become wet or "wash" the dirt then it's not a leak. However since you are already pulling one then you might as well do both.
