Oh a 73 ... that’s the 50th anniversary if it is and was the same one used in SATB. You can tell the 73s as they had the gold and black KW emblem on the front of the hood perhaps this one was changed out or repainted though 🤔
That is only on the "construction" transmission. On a true 5&4 or 5&3 the auxillary is on the left and main on the right and reverse is in the main. I drove a construction type and they are easy to use and nearly bullet proof.
I'm glad the old W900 is getting some love thos old KWs and Petes are just timeless I can't understand why they aren't being used. The old Mack if I saw rightly looked like a off set cab design being a DM Model there was thousands of then hauling coal here in the 70 and 80s maybe a hand full of R models centered cab design and more appling to the eyes compared to the old DMs. True work horses.
That '73 A model KW is in dam good shape for it's age! It reminds me of my first log truck, 21 years ago. I drove a 73 A model KW, with the original aluminum frame rails, & 5 & 4 twin sticks, powered by a big cam 3, 400Hp cummins. I LOVED that ole truck!
Oh. i have a few CBs lying around if you want one, or two. they're old but they have 40 channels. and that KW is a slightly dirty peach :) She will shine up like a new penny.
First stick to the driver seat is the main transmission most likely a 5 speed. Second is a brownie box which could be a simple 2 gear hi low or a 4 speed. Absolutely a blessing having the new air splitter transmissions like Blue Collar. Later edit further research has me believing that its a 5 speed main, no reverse on the main 1st down in the left. And a 2 speed compound reverse is left and up from neutral.
@@TwinStix Let me look back at some old shop books I have. I might be thinking of the old Kenworth set up. But yes gotta love the nostalgia of a twin stick.
It’s called a 6 speed. Main trans is a 5 speed the compound has Reverse a Low gear that is only used in 1st and a direct gear. You do get 5 reverses with these. The Mack quadraplex and Triplex transmissions have the main shifter on the left 6 speeds had them on the right.
Will it start? No, but it'll darn sure roll! I hope to see you get it running Bruce. You, yours and the gang stay safe and look forward to your next episode. Cheers from this old retired coot formerly from Florida now living in Tennessee.❤️👍😷🍻✌️
Love old R model Mack's I can remember riding in them when I was young daddy drove one with lowboy hauling and operating heavy equipment cat 955L and other equipment
She's a oldie but she's a goodie. Nice Bruce. Now that Kenny is truly a fine looking truck I know someone who would love to have that Twinstick garage. Stay safe Bruce and Austin. That R model mack looks small af behind oh badd ass blue collar bub.
He should've got a Mack instead to start with in my opinion....He did mentioned about wanting to drive something more challenger than a road ranger...a twin stick late 60's R model is the way to go. im thinking its gotta have a 10 speed but for logging maybe a quadbox. Id like to see him actually try driving it because i know he wont. Js
@@kman-mi7su I could've bought a 59 B61 model off of ebay for 700.00 but it had a gas engine in it and would have had to replace about everything on it? Was also a single axle.
Those Mack twin sticks had the reverse in the Aux trans. I used to surprise people when I was backing up shifting gears. I believe I had 6 in the main and 3 in the aux with reverse.
Love the video I have a mud truck I have sitting in kansas I need to get moved to Washington but another great video cant wait to see more with the mud truck to keep up the good work Bruce
Love these old trucks. Sad to see so many of them just put away in fields all over the country to rot. Getting a truck that's been parked for 10, 15 or more years started again is a great feeling. Awesome job!!
That KW was sounding really good and appears to still be in fantastic condition a little cleaning up and maybe some tires and flaps it will shine like a new penny 👍
Just a tidbit for you Bruce driving a twin stick isn't like any other rig. You'll find out the hard way if you ever get one to run and drive up and down the road!! Those are real truck drivers rigs. Separate the men from the boys. I know I got broke in with a 5 and 4 trans Ford 9000. Good luck but I'd love to see you try one!!!
We like this Will It Start video. Although Bruce Wilson tries to start this engine. It fails. We should call Hamiltonville Farm to hauling this cabover.
What is the point of these will it starts? It’s pointless unless your going to actually resurrect and do something with what ever your trying to start. It’s not hard to get old diesel trucks and equipment running even after sitting for extended periods. You throw a battery and some fuel or some ether at them and they normally fire to life.
I LOVE that W900 .... That turbo is just sweet with that Cummins ... I could stand seeing that truck on your channel even though Blue Collar has grown on me. Great Job Amber on the filming ... Maybe I'll get some videos of my Kenworth T800 at work for y'all ... =)
First stick to the driver seat is the main transmission most likely a 5 speed. Second is a brownie box which could be a simple 2 gear hi low or a 4 speed. Absolutely a blessing having the new air splitter transmissions like Blue Collar.
Awesome guys Get all them Macks going. That 900 is a bit of gear Old school all the way Just watch yourself trying to tow start. Usually ya have to wind the brakes off to get it to roll . Then what can happen is once ya crash start ya no air to assist the clutch to get out of gear and no brakes and ya can end up running up the arse of the tow vehicle. Yip some will say bullshit I've seen it happen. Keep it up guys 😎
Amber just lookin good per usual!👍 That twin stick R model would be hard to beat in the woods. I like the will it start videos keep up the good work Bruce
definitely a very nice W-900 ,,and one of those things i have always loved is the sound of an 855 cummins the turbo whistle is awesome,,truck any hard worker would appreciate
Ivy, Chiggers, and Ticks oh my...bet you found some them sons bucks....ifi recall those trucks ran the vaunted SM465 4 speed main with a hi low in between the clutch and trans making 8 F speed and 2R speed. so the shifting is like 4LL 4LH 3LL 3LH and what not Banging...then there is the HI/LO on the rear
Im a Mack guy myself. Id like to see him go and attempt to drive a twin stick truck since he did mention about a more challenging truck to drive. He should drive that. I see him driving a Mack over blue collar
@@davidbowser2395 yeah that would be a sight I never got the opportunity to drive one but my grandpa told me about his runs and his old mack r model day cab she was a beauty I think a 85 but could be wrong pretty sure it had a Spicer in it but one thing was for sure he loved the purr of that engine but he wasn't the biggest fan of that transmission
Oh a 73 ... that’s the 50th anniversary if it is and was the same one used in SATB. You can tell the 73s as they had the gold and black KW emblem on the front of the hood perhaps this one was changed out or repainted though 🤔
Can't wait for the snowman build! You need a movin on truck after the snowmans done.
Josh Holden and an aerodyn for some BJ and the Bear action.
I think TwinStick wants to make a trip to Florida with cash in hand - project SnowMEN.🤑
But this is a glider, not sure if glider kits received the same badging as the factory built trucks in 1973.
Twinstick can't wait for your kw to be finished driver.
The stick to the left is a 5 speed, the stick to the right has a lo a drive and reverse
2 4. R L
1 3 5. D
I was looking to see if someone put this comment before i did and good diagram bye the way
I have a truck just like this one but on mine the second stick has a low low gear behind the reverse gear then low then the high side
The Quadbox I drove had the main box on the right and the auxiliary was on the left
That is only on the "construction" transmission. On a true 5&4 or 5&3 the auxillary is on the left and main on the right and reverse is in the main. I drove a construction type and they are easy to use and nearly bullet proof.
I was looking myself

Bruce the W900 needs to be your new day truck. It’s a beauty
Front ends are iconic that's all the Pedro haulers ran. And I rode in a 1978 one all trickedout
Should be pulling a flatbed on a daily making money truck looks like its ready for a local route

free. just pay shipping.
you should post a pic or video
Looks like we got ourselves a CONVOY! This here's the Rubber Duck!
I like that KW. 😎
Convoy starred an old Mack not a Kenworth. I agree its a beauty though
@@simonturner10 In the movie, but the song lyric was: "it was a dark moon on the 6th of June and a Kenworth pullin logs" 😎
@@davida.p.9911 and in the movie its a mack hauling Dynamite
Wow

Eric Zent I actually prefer 2 sticks to air splitters 😆 also I thought Mack’s had the brownie stick on the inside 🤔
@@TwinStix Let me look back at some old shop books I have. I might be thinking of the old Kenworth set up. But yes gotta love the nostalgia of a twin stick.
It's the Jack LeLaine (sp?) of transmissions. You'll get a workout! The oldies didn't have synchros, double clutch anyone?
It’s called a 6 speed. Main trans is a 5 speed the compound has Reverse a Low gear that is only used in 1st and a direct gear. You do get 5 reverses with these. The Mack quadraplex and Triplex transmissions have the main shifter on the left 6 speeds had them on the right.

I can't get over that beautiful W900!
Love old R model Mack's I can remember riding in them when I was young daddy drove one with lowboy hauling and operating heavy equipment cat 955L and other equipment
Love this video and that KW is nice...love the sound of older truckers
What an amazing collection of old trucks. Thanks for sharing looking forward to the next one.
That w900a should be the next project
Project destroy another good semi then scrap it as he does with the others
That KW is really clean looking.
Music and editing are much improved. Your doing right.
Hello greetings from Brazil nice truck I'm a fan of american trucks this one deserves to be restored
KW looks road ready right now. Nice truck
She's a oldie but she's a goodie. Nice Bruce. Now that Kenny is truly a fine looking truck I know someone who would love to have that Twinstick garage. Stay safe Bruce and Austin. That R model mack looks small af behind oh badd ass blue collar bub.

@@davidbowser2395 Yes, or a B model Mack go reeeeeeely old school.
Don't say that
@@kman-mi7su I could've bought a 59 B61 model off of ebay for 700.00 but it had a gas engine in it and would have had to replace about everything on it? Was also a single axle.
Agree
Thank u.
Love that KW. Beautiful old rig. Good luck on that Mack.
This is my first visit. I like your cabover.
That Kenworth is beautiful can't wait to see more on the mack
Those Mack twin sticks had the reverse in the Aux trans. I used to surprise people when I was backing up shifting gears. I believe I had 6 in the main and 3 in the aux with reverse.
Everyone loves the B model but I've always had a soft spot for the R 600s. Love this shade of blue.
Yes definitely want to see it running
Love the video I have a mud truck I have sitting in kansas I need to get moved to Washington but another great video cant wait to see more with the mud truck to keep up the good work Bruce

I love trying to start junk lol
I freaking love that second truck... started right up looks great 👍👌
You're not Alone.
That k whopper needs. Some loving
That's a bad ass truck you need too buy that one Bruce
Love the old macks
You must be blessed with Austin!! What a great guy he is!
Love ya vids Bruce, keep going
That Kenworth is just so cool..I hope Bruce had it
That KW was sounding really good and appears to still be in fantastic condition a little cleaning up and maybe some tires and flaps it will shine like a new penny 👍
Que maravilha!! Realmente temos que tirar o chapéu pra esse povo!!!👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷
That Kenworth is a sweet ride. love the music thanks for posting
Keep these type videos coming
You need that KW Bruce! Yes, you do.

Great 👍 job guys. Big fan from the uk 🇬🇧. Kindest regards Stuart Torevell , home town Manchester
Just a heads up on the mack starter there a pain to get off we have a 12pt wrench cut off and use a pipe and hammer to break the back one loose.
i like when is a little difficult to start ahahaha and that ken is a jewel. 13:29 " if i am not here the things don t work " ahaha
Bruce's Lawn & Yard Maintenance comin straight at you 0:37. Some of those rigs got potential... shame to see them sit and waste away.
Strange how I like the mix of “get er done music” in those first couple of scenes.
I agree big time. A bit of an old good tv show feel. Or hanging out by a river music.
This is why I watch this channe. Keep on keepin on
The Kenworth just needs to get back to work instead of hanging around in the tall grass!
It's just on vacation.
Nothing beats an old school W900 on of the best trucks out there
Solid video, Bruce.
that's A nice kentworth truck for the year great shape
Yes want to see it start the will it starts are the best
Well that was easy to start

You need to get In touch with Bobby Goodson I’m sure he’s got good old things to start up
I know for a fact he has about a 77 2 stick superliner mack.worked for him for a bit.
This 900 more than a wonderful big toy. Cheers Bruce, very enjoyable video
Hey Blue Colar Is Doing work Fantastic!!
Like to see the Mack start, a bit rough but a real workhorse. That KW is impressive, they sure age well. Got a Kenworth, got it made.
That Kenworth is a pretty truck!
Liking that Kenworth. That turbo sounds great.
First stick to the driver seat is the main transmission most likely a 5 speed. Second is a brownie box which could be a simple 2 gear hi low or a 4 speed. Absolutely a blessing having the new air splitter transmissions like Blue Collar.
that KW makes me goosebumps in ma skin lovely truck maybe worrth to be your next project ? nice video man
Awesome guys
Get all them Macks going.
That 900 is a bit of gear
Old school all the way
Just watch yourself trying to tow start.
Usually ya have to wind the brakes off to get it to roll .
Then what can happen is once ya crash start ya no air to assist the clutch to get out of gear and no brakes and ya can end up running up the arse of the tow vehicle.

Snowmans ride! 😎👍
Amazing truck for sure love the paint job
Omg that kenworth is a beautiful truck
Now that W900 Kenworth is a fine old truck. That one is worth salvaging and fixing up.
I love truck sounds
Amber just lookin good per usual!👍 That twin stick R model would be hard to beat in the woods. I like the will it start videos keep up the good work Bruce
That would be a nice truck to rebuild put a little coffin sleeper on the back dual Stacks that would make you a good truck
definitely a very nice W-900 ,,and one of those things i have always loved is the sound of an 855 cummins the turbo whistle is awesome,,truck any hard worker would appreciate
That kenworth is what truckers wetdreams are made of 🤤
Bruce excelente video
That is a beautiful Kenworth, look forward to you guys working on it. Bruce, I bet you would love to own it, maybe something for the future.

That Kenworth is nice!
That Kenworth is awesome! If he sells it get all over that! Buy it!!!
Snowman and Sonny Pruitt would be pleased to see the Kenworth running
That's a pretty sweet W9
If its a 237 Mack it will run, they never die!
that Kenworth is gorgeous
Gotta Love a Cummings! Starts in 3 revs!
I hope that you can get that old mack to start.
Man, it sounds good, no age no dpf no def .That 350 is a good runner, I think it's better than the 400 big cam, for power to weight.
Love it man! Big fan of all your vids. Keep it up
That w900 would be a great truck for me on my farm that thing is beautiful
keep it
up bruce you da man!!
That Kenworth is nice .Hope to see more of it.
Liberace called and he wants his sunglasses back
Right on 🙈👌
So did the Macho Man Randy Savage!
Those are Cleetus McFarland merch sunglasses
I like the KW , reinforce the Blue Collars frame at the tail end for towing like that. Those cross members bend easily ... 🌈
That Kenworth is a beautiful truck. The brake lights don’t work hahahahaha. It would be awesome to see the Mack an Autocar running an finished.
That w900 looks amazing on the outside for its age! Pity the inside is so mongrelled up
@Southern Hellstorm Thought I was the only one who saw that!
@Southern Hellstorm He's clueless! It's painful to watch him. The other one that gets me on the will it starts is the ENDLESS starting fluid! OMG!
Man that KW sounds good af !!
I love Kenworth-Truck's 😎😍
Cool to see it live again!
Yes I do want to see the Mack run
Hi you should get a old school mack track and build one great video keep it up
Great video mate
