- In this episode we attempt to start up the diesel engine in this White Super Power truck. It has a Perkins 6/354 engine and hasn’t run for many years. #semitruck #tractor #diesel #oldtruck #mechanical #mechanical #willitstart #willitrun #perkins #perkinsengine #whitetrucks #white444

I am proudly 67 years old and love the simplistic older diesel engines, and am especially fond of Perkins, supply clean air and fuel and they just kept on going and were no problem to repair. Interesting your comment on Cat / Perkins. 30 odd years ago I did a 4-236 genset change out on a boat which required removing the head of the engine to get out of the access hole. When I removed the head of the new engine a head bolt broke, It was Saturday and the boat needed to be back in service Sunday so it was an Oh F..k moment. A quick panicky run through my normal suppliers came up with nothing and a spark in the back of my head told me CAT at one stage used the 236 in forklifts. Off I went to my good friends at Hastings Deering in Cairns and we poured through the fish ( that will make a few people think) and we found the CAT part for a 236 head bolt and it was in stock. Repair done, boat up and running. I don't know what the moral is to this but sometimes you have to look outside the square
Hi mate thanks for the comment. Brilliant yarn. Perkins are great engines. Cat indeed did use them. I think they were painted yellow with a cat sticker on the tappet cover, the ones I’ve dealt with anyway. I have a 4/236 here in a 165 Massey Fergusen, brilliant old engine, in fact all the Perkins I have are great, even the worn out one still does the job. When playing with this older stuff you nearly always have to think outside the square because a lot of it is hard to get now and you need to improvise.
When you mention pulling the engine out of a boat, I had to do it once here. And like you say they are a tight fit and a cramped area to work in. I pulled a B series Cummins out of a twin engine boat my boss had and one side got cooked. The only thing that made the job good that it was on the water still and made a great atmosphere compared to the workshop or working on earthmovers in brick works and garbage tips like I’m used too and still do now. Good to talk mate
I had a Perkins on my Angling Boat, never let me down. I love watching these vlogs when the old Engines start running again. It feels like they have been brought back to life. Best wishes from the UK.👍👍
Hi mate thanks for comment and watching. I’m sure it didn’t let you down, they are certainly known for reliability. Would of been ideal for it.
"Listen to this clown!" @ 9:20 made my day 😀What a relief to see the old Perkins go full rotation. The old girl has potential.
Fucking Jacob brakes and Harley Davidsons 🤣🤣🤣
Hi mate I read that wrong last night. I thought you called me a clown 🤣. I get a lot of negative comments and all I saw is that so I’m really sorry if I offended you. Just going through and replying to comments now. Take care mate
You two make a good team
Thank you Joseph
Those Perkins just don’t die. Thanks for the video, mate
Hello from mayville Wisconsin. Looks like you guys are having fun down there.
Very interesting video, perkins ,a very reliable engine.greetings from co.cork ireland.
Hi mate thank you for watching from over there. Fantastic. They are great engines
Just randomly came across this episode, and by coincidence I have exactly the same engine in my UK built International CO1800 lorry. I have owned it now since 2005 but have yet to get it running.
Many thanks from your newest subscriber.
David in the UK.
Hi David. I’m glad you found us and many thanks for the subscription and for watching. I know they were used in many international trucks here in Australia so being used there also makes sense being a UK engine. Would be good if you could get it going. I have no doubt that it will. Thanks again David and there’s plenty more to come
As soon as I saw it turn by hand, I knew you'd get smoke out of her!! Although, I wasn't expecting that much!! Ha ha!! I regret not doing a 'will it start' on an old Perkins powered army 6x6 acco (it was just before I started filming stuff), but the intake was full to the brim with water, and had been for a number of years. Eventually got it fired up again (I think it's the 2nd video I ever posted). Awesome job, Steve (and Geoffrey!). Looking forward to more vids with you two.
Hi mate. I haven’t gone that far back in your content yet to have a look at the ACCO. I’m try to do it with all the blokes like you that I follow closely. Your like me where a lot of stuff like that was before the channel started.
glad to see another ole white up and running thank you for sharing white motor built a great truck
Thanks for watching. Yes it is good and certainly a fan of the White product here mate
hi Steve good to see that old girl start up mate
Hi mate yes it was for me also. First time I’d seen it run
Thank you Steve, the last engine I did a major overhaul on was a 6534 perky, way back when you were a boy, lol. It had bad breath also. Great video, mate
Gday Stuart. They are a great old engine mate. Very steady but reliable. They powered a hell of a lot of trucks and equipment here. Widely used to repower stuff too.
Steve's place down Under Love This New Truck Hope you Can get it Up and Going Billy Lizza Uniontown pa USA
Hi Billy thank you mate. I’m planning on taking the engine out for another truck. This one is a bit far gone to do anything with really.
In regards to the fan, if the vehicle was still running in the past but without the fan, it may have been because the fan threw a blade, and was off-balance, and the driver had a wedding to get to, so they simply took the whole fan assembly off and drove their '77 Dodge Coronet along surface roads while gauging approaching red lights VERY CAREFULLY so they could keep a speed of 30-ish MPH to keep enough air flowing over the radiator, along US 13 in Delaware when the Route 1 Turnpike was still in the ground-breaking era.
My father made it to his sister's wedding on time, by the way.
Great story mate indeed. Thanks for sharing. There are certainly things you can do to get the job done
Hey Steve you have hands of gold my friend well done
Thank you mate. Was good to get going that one
Just left National Pike Show and catching up on videos. Thanks again.
Thanks mate. Post plenty of videos
Cant't beat a tin of "Start ya Bastard". Great Vid Steve!
Thanks for watching mate. It’s not as good as aerostart though but it’s all I had
@@stevesplacedownunder Fact is it made me chuckle for ages, never heard of it before. It did trigger memories of boiling frustration trying to start wreckage. What i would have given for a tin that says it all!
It’s certainly good to have a tin handy when playing with this stuff
International cooperation. I love it.
Thank you mate
Sweet old rig
Certainly is mate
Thanks Steve, another good show.
No problem mate thank you
Watching from USA , Pennsylvania
Fantastic mate thank you 🙏
Gday Steve. Bloody hell mate. You keep showing old trucks that I knew as a kid. As you say , be nice to save em all but…. If this isn’t everyone’s idea of fun then I know what’s wrong with the world. Glad to see old mate from the states having a go with you 😊
Gday Mick. Yes mate I try to show mainly older ones like this but they will eventually run out unless I start to visit other people with them. My collection is only so big. I really enjoy it yes is great fun to me.
We had a great time and did some good videos together
Another one robbed from the grave 💀good one Steve .. thought for sure you were going to get attacked by a bunch of Huntsmen’s when you lifted that bonnet lol . Thanks Mate 🤙🤙🤙
Thanks Steve. We did see a few but not as my critters as I was expecting mate
Suicide door, that drivers side😂
Good morning, I've always liked these WC Whites, I had one 25 years ago, it was a gas engine, WC2264 tandem axle dump truck which was being used as a pit truck.
Hi mate. The are a good looking truck. Not sure how they performed though, I haven’t heard a lot about them really until now. That would of been a good job to work it for a while. I didn’t know they were tandem also. Thanks for sharing
Awesome morning brother great to see old Iron with you great to interact with other channels !!! Another awesome adventure with my brother from another country say hi to everyone for me
Hi again mate. Thanks as always. I look forward to your positive comments on each video. Fantastic and you also have an awesome week
Great startup of the old Perky! That's a great crane truck, a chunk of history. Glad to see you got spruced up Steve, for Jeffrey's visit. (great name by the way Jeffrey!) Cheers!
It’s Geoffrey but that’s ok! And why my Mother wanted that spelling is another story.
@@oldamericaniron5767 Sorry I mis-spelled it Geoffrey! Cheers.
Good one Steve thanks for sharing.
My pleasure mate
Perkins: the pride and purpose of architecturally exciting Columbus, Indiana, USA. (Pence is it shame.)
Hi Steve those Perkins engines usually run smooth mate and this is no exception. Keep at it and I'm sure you won't be sorry.
Cheers Michael
Hi Michael thanks for watching. I’m sure she will next time. Sounds like an inlet valve maybe stuck. I want to set all the valve clearances and put a new fuel filter on it and run it for longer mate. I have plans for it so hopefully it’s a good one
Cat bought Perkins Engines for $1.325 billion around 1996 or 97.
Correct, they've got a pretty big place down at Shrewsbury about an hour down the road from me. I think it was part of the old Rolls Royce site.
Yes okay I’d never heard of this. Thank you🙏
Massey Ferguson bought Perkins in 1959(?), so there are plenty of their engines out there. Interesting history. The 1st company to have 6 diesel world speed records... Nice one, gentlemen. 🇬🇧👍
Hi mate I didn’t know about the speed records. That’s really interesting. All the good Massey Fergusen tractors run them mate yes. Thanks for watching 🙏🙏🙏
Hi Steve all my toys,1986 Jcb 3cx,1987 Jcb 530 and a 1998 Jcb fastrac 1135 have perkins in good reliable basic engines that are cheap and simple to take care of 👌
Hi mate yes they powered a lot of different things. Very basic and reliable indeed mate. I also have a few of them here
Way to go, thumbs up mate,stay safe.
Thanks as always mate
Awesome running engine…
Thanks for watching mate
Loving your content Steve, keepem commimg cobber.🤠
Gday mate thank you. There’s plenty to come yet
1st time viewer , I'm subscribed ! Well done !!!! Cheers from Sacramento , ca. , Neil
Hi Neil thank you mate for subscribing it’s much appreciated. There’s plenty more to come
I thought it looked familiar there cant be too many of those in OZ and Ive spent time around Wisemans ferry I used to work in Pitt Town
Yes mate probably not too many left now. Pitt town about 45-50 minutes drive from here
Hey Steve, drove one of these for six years, everything is manual. Lever from the left closest to rear window, up is away from you, down towards you,next is the hook lever then the jib lever Last lever is the hook brake for dropping the load in a hurry. If you need more info, happy to help. Rgds Garry.
Hi mate thanks for reaching out. I never thought someone would say they used one. This is great. Next time I start it up I will give the levers a try. I’m going to screenshot your comment as an instruction manual. It wasn’t holding water so I couldn’t run it too long. Thanks a lot Garry, this is a great help
@@stevesplacedownunder Hey Steve, make sure it’s in neutral when u start using the levers,push the clutch in and pull the hook or jib lever and let the clutch out at the same time, make sure when u want to stop,push the clutch back in and let go of the lever at the same time otherwise the PTO will try and keep working against the brake.Rgds Garry.
Thanks again. I’m going to try it next time I have it going Garry. It may be a usable thing
Used to have an old international c1800 with an old perkins diesel sounded great blew out a lot of soot wish the old man never sold it I'd buy it back,any day
She would of been a reliable old truck mate. It sure would be good to get it back
@Steve’s Place Down Under I know never let us down
watched your channel for the first time im in USA southern Alabama have Dependable Auto Truck have a few videos trying to get channel started thanks for sharing
Hi mate thanks for watching. I’m going to have a look and subscribe. Just be yourself mate, post consistent videos and reply to all comments. Don’t take offence to negative ones because they can turn you off your journey. Just ignore those. You will be fine. It’s our pleasure mate
Nice job on getting that thing going guys see your guys are fairly new channel I subscribed so I can get all your content hope to see some more videos soon just to let you know I'm from the Mojave desert area in California thanks for the videos real cool by the way that truck must have been something when it was brand new must have been something to see it's still damn cool
Hi Rick and thanks for watching and subscribing mate. I hope to grow the channel further for people like yourself to enjoy so it’s really appreciated. Mojave desert area? That’s just brilliant mate. A new area for a subscriber, just amazing.
It would of been a nice truck indeed in it’s day. It’s a shame it was neglected but I saved it where I could. Thanks again Rick
SOUNDS Great ! DROP THE EXHAUST , IT WILL. START FASTER .
Thanks for watching mate
I did notice u bl😅kes looked fresh, almost as if the sandwich shop was closed today. 😂
Hi mate no it was open but that was early morning. Actually right after that video we went and got a box of them
👍👍
🙏🙏🙏👍👍
I could not help but smile when your cohort in crime says the ether doesn't seem to be having any effect! Before he finished making that comment it was running. Timing sometimes has a way of making an innocent comment bite you where it hurts! I wish I could do what your visitor did but my body is losing the war.. your names are gone so please take no offense. In one ear and out the other.....
Great video as always, pretty sure they had those engines in the at4 660 Dodges.
Yes mate and the C and D line inters had them
Jeez what were they lifting with it, rail bogies?
it's alive..lol
Sure is mate. Thanks for watching
A good honest 120 hp ,
Yes mate that’s right indeed
A little t..l. c. She'll be good to go
A bit more than little I’d say Mike but yes it sure does need it. Probably take it out for the AR 160 I did the transmission in
Hey Steve, jim Rioux from Connecticut. Perkins I heard was a very reliable engine, is that so. I was also wondering what the weight of your perkins engine is. Is it much heavier than a 350 gm gas engine. Always great to see what you are doing. If you don't mind me asking, what do you do for a living. Oh one more thing I noticed on many of the Australian trailers they have 3 axels and I think I've seen 4 axels on a trailer. Most in the us are 2 axels. Thanks jim
Hi Jim. They certainly are mate. They basically built Australia in powering old trucks and equipment mate. Very reliable and durable. They are about 1300lbs, roughly 600kg. Most that size, 6/354 (6 cylinder, 354cubic inches) are rated at 120hp. There were also differences in colours and outputs. There were yellow, pink and silver models.
I’m a plant mechanic mate. I fix and rebuild earthmoving equipment. Mainly Caterpillar’s and Komatsu. I’ve been doing it for 23 years and been employed by the same company since I left school. Also a bit of truck driving and plant operating over the years but mainly on the tools. Recently just finished a full rebuild on a Cat D9T bulldozer.
Yes most of our trailers have 3 axles, tri axle we call them but everything is getting bigger now for more pay load so to see a quad axle, 4 axles now is very common. A lot of our Dog trailers now have 5 axles. 2 on the dolly and 3 on the trailer, and when pulled with a single steer axle truck and 3 rear axles, bogey drive with a lazy axle, they are hauling 45 tons payload. I believe most trailers in the US are 2 axles yes mate
If you guys are interested in selling the drivetrain out of that rig I am more than interested, even if it’s shipped from what I assume is Australia?
Doesn’t even need to be s good transmission I am desperate for the adapter plate/ bell housing on that thing!
The purpose of starting it up really was to see if it was a good runner for a i truck we have here mate
Now let's see if it will drive.
I doubt I will ever drive this one mate. Maybe one day. The tailshaft has been removed
Perkin 354 engine
Sure is
That’s a 6.354.2 Perkins 5.8 litre
Yea that’s right
Running on old fuel
Would of had a bit in the old filter
Did it Right since you didn't ether the bejesus out of it.
Some people get out that Can of crack and just sit there and saturate it
Change the fuel filter on that before you did or were you running the old fuel filter too?
Was that just a bunch of old fuel in there why it was so reluctant to start even with the ether?
No mate I only use ether to save running down a battery or burning a starter. No I ran the old filter but new fuel. Now that it runs I will change the filter and run it again
Will it start? It's a Perkins ffs!
Mate why didn't you just leave it where it was instead of bringing it home to rust out after 12 years ? Not being critical just interested
As I said mate we just bid on it and not expected to win it but we did. I also love having the stuff around. It was getting cut up if not sold. Was worth it I guess mate
Nuda good show Steve you Rock
Thanks Ron
You know you make great videos if I sack off another video to watch yours👍🏻😆
But but but why no love for the Jakes and Milwaukee Tractors?, if fuckwits can't see your vehicle coming, they sure as shit better hear it🙉😂
I’m not against Jake’s mate but used properly. There’s a lot of clowns that roar down the hill here empty and let them go. Straight through exhaust pipes and they shake the house. Most of them are empty also. I know my old Detroit’s are noisy but that’s how they are regardless of what muffler you have. The hill behind my house is an invitation it seems also for flash cars and bikes to rev the freckle out of them going up the hill and it drives me mad mate🤣. But nothing I can do about it.
@@stevesplacedownunder
I get what you mean, the village I lived in as a kid near the lorry yard I worked was on a hill with 2 way lorry traffic, with Jake and Exhaust brakes going empty or loaded. Although they were on shitter drum brakes not the discs now.
And I've experienced brake fade in 40t truck to make me appreciate the Jakes stopped power.
If you want to stop the noisy wankers, try a Stinger or Stop Stick😜😆
Does the USA have Perkins donks they are Pommy arnt they good reliable cheap too fix motor not ova power but
They do mate yes. They were a pommy thing, but now I’m told Cat owns them I’m not sure
It’s probably not a bad idea to wear a face mask when cleaning out rat nests.
No that’s right. All I had was that cloth
This was boring n slow
I apologise it was compulsory to watch Shawn king. Thanks for the view count☺️☺️☺️
you have an awesome collection mate from another aussie
Hello mate, thanks for the comment. I’ve got a few here yes and only trying to grow it more. Thanks for watching. Great that Aussie blokes are watching
@@stevesplacedownunder i have just recently bought a 6x6 f1 aaco, and have a 4x4 c1600. among other engines and things in my yard too.
Have you got a channel mate or have a followed my Facebook page to share some photos of your stuff?
@@stevesplacedownunder I haven't actually probably should.
