- Finally getting around to uploading a video of running the 825c. This video is of my daughter and I moving our last load of cattle to their spring pasture in tonasket, Washington . My daughter took the video and didn’t really know what to film, so be kind haha
So cool to see a 75 year old truck still making it happen
Thank you
Heck yeah 👍
better than a new one.
The only trucks that old and still working are KW’s Pete’s and last but certainly not least, MACK my personal favorite. Thanks for sharing the ol girl with us diesel heads.
@@deborahchesser7375 thanks!
As a Cow, I would like to say we appreciate the smooth shifting and corner cruising. Thanks for the video .
Haha
As another cow, get me the hell outta this trailer to the slaughter house.
ROFLMAO @bill3641 😅😅😅😅😅
Mooooooooo!
Even if you go to die?
Always great to see old equipment maintained in service.
Thanks!
I drove a 1965 2 axle narrow nose Pete with a 335 Cummins and a 4x4. It was my most favorite truck I ever drove in my 42 yr career starting in 1982.
Thanks for the memories!
You’re welcome, thanks for sharing!
I'm a 60 plus old trucker and one of the first trucks I learned how to drive was a two stick transmission. What a life lesson in trucking. I'm glad air shifts came along and made things so much easier for driving.
So true, truckers now can enjoy a cup of coffee while working…,,what a novelty
yet the old timers when i was driving between 79-99 preferred the two stickers.
How did 2 sticks actually work? Was one for low gears and other for faster driving or 2 separate transmissions?
@@Joe-qv6jh thanks! Sounds exhausting!
@@jordanlesamiz4599Not to mention no power steering and having to wrestle it at every turn, I remember it well.
Freaking love the fact that the old girl is still hauling. Great video.
Thank you!
Patiently driving and go easy on the power , that’s the way our Dad taught us. Change oil early and many of our Petes and K W s ran well over a million miles , and no wrecks. Love it !!
Thanks!
Yes, just so, your dad told you true. Its easy on the entire drive train, & so economical. I clocked up over 5 mil kms & it still wasn't burning oil between changes on the Cat C16 @ 26lbs. boost in my KW T904, pulling triple flat tops out to our remote mines in Western Australia.
@@returnofthenative awesome stuff!
@@jordanlesamiz4599 Maybe, but mine don't go back quite as far as 1949. my earliest was the W model, naturally aspirated Cat B, & Spicer box. Flash too in its day, with an add on crawl in sleeper box at a time when most still slept over the wheel. Its hot here, very, very hot, so I mostly slept in a swag (bedroll) under the lead trailer, cool water in a canvas bag hung on the bullbar. No propane either, so I carried cook wood for the desert roped on over the dolly drawbar. Long range fuel in 44 gal. drums over the drives. There wasn't much, sometimes not even a road at the end of the dirt. That can still be the case though, if you are servicing drillers, who are always the first in.
BTW something that never fails to bug me now is seeing people reving out in the crawl gears, before shifting up on roadranger boxes, it just puts a ton of strain & needless wear on the entire drive train.
I was looking at late 1800s US historical photographs of frontier towns just the other day, & contrasting that with their modern equivalent made the shocking discovery that by a very long stretch, the son of a boy in those photos may still be alive today. Only just, but certainly many a grandson could be. A channel that you might like, with interviews & film footage of the oldies, loggers, fishermen, farmers etc. is Gary Kerr.
@@returnofthenative thank you so much for this post and history!
As a lover of hamburger I commend your efforts to help put food on my table.
Thank you, I wish it didn’t cost you so much to do so. I promise that money isn’t going in my pocket
Corpse eater!
That was incredible footage of that old KW! 75 years and still STRONG! Loved that turbo whistle!
Thank you!
This vehicle bears its scars with dignity and every dent, every scratch tells not just any old story but, as in a diary, the irretrievable and very personal history of your family.
Your vehicle is really something special and I personally would only proceed very carefully with the restoration and let the vehicle tell its story.
Thanks for the video.
Thank you and we’ll said
Nice truck video! Brings back memories, when I was 20 yo I hauled containers out of the Seattle waterfront in a 55 KW with a 6-71 Detroit and 4 x 4 trans, this was in 1979.
That’s cool, thanks for sharing!
It is so great to see someone to take and redo a old classic truck and be able to work it. Really impressed with your KW😊😊😊😊
Thank you!
now that I've finished wiping the tears away, all I can say is thanks, because there isn't enough room here to explain the feelings. All the best to you and thanks again.
Thanks for watching, I’d love to hear your thoughts at some point!
I know what you mean, I got my class A in a 1957 very much like this one (back in 1977)
No explanation needed.having lived on a ranch, trucking since I was 15, wrenching and building truck. We understand the memory
This really brought back memories of me riding with my Pops in his KW Cabover back in the 60's, especially the sound when you were pulling hard on that little hill!
Awesome, thank you for watching
Old girl still putting in the work! Thanks for sharing.
Your welcome and thanks for the kind words
Man they just don’t make them like that anymore. Beautiful
Thank you
They still make them very similar, in the US.
You’re right, back then you’d be lucky to drive that across country after a 100k miles since it would break down. Thank god they make much more reliable trucks today that you can put 1/2 million miles on with a good maintenance program
Imagine spending a cross-country drive in one of those! Amazing.
Cant speak to cross country but my dad Had a lot of trips riding to Seattle and back. He remembers the trip taking just over 24 hours. He said it was so much slower because you had to take all the old county road because there was no interstate
It's a hard life in the old Iron. I don't think any, mbe 1 or 2 of the modern steering wheel holder can do it..they are to soft
I know how you feel about that sound its pure Cummins. Unmistakable constant fan noise from under the hood and that deep ignitition sound that Cummins emits under throttle.Brings back tears and memories of my ild NH 250
So true, thanks for commenting!
Remember boys and girls, those trucks had no power steering.
Man Power .....armstrong steering !!
Thanks for the ride along. Truck is absolutely a classic. Hope to see more of it.
Thanks, My kids are making me promise to put up more videos, haha
@@jordanlesamiz4599it’s good to see another video of the truck. I thought your truck looked familiar and I was right. Checked out your channel and saw the two videos I watched a couple years ago. I had thought you were planning on doing more videos about the truck but gave up at some point. Nice to see you and the truck are doing good.
@@snydedon9636 thanks!
These old trucks take me back to the old days of the bullnose trucks. Great memories.
Thankyou sir for taking us on this ride. Those were the days. Oldest truck I ever drove was a 1974 mack with a twin stick 18 speed, if you enjoy working.
You are 🙏
How many times did have to stop and start over in that old Mack?before getting it right😅😅
@mikecross4350 several. Once you get the hang of it I enjoyed it.
Wish I could share a picture of the 75 Mack I drove. 5 on the left and high low reverse on the right side
I really expected Dennis Weaver to come flying around you at any minute!!
1949 and still going!!! Amazing bro!!!! They don’t make them like that anymore!!!
I worked a ranch when I was younger and that truck was parked there for awhile by Ron Lesamiz a fellow employee, RIP Ron.
If it wasn’t for him I would’ve never learned how to turn a wrench or weld. I have my love of machines and for equipment because of him. Thanks for the sentiment.
Fantastic, My dad started hauling cattle here in England in 1959 and watching your video brought back fond memories of my trips out with him as a kid, He always said treat them well in the back equals smooth running up front, Your great driving giving respect to your payload is commendable! Keep On Truckin...
Thank you so much! Remembering days hauling cattle with my dad are my fondest memories. Thanks for sharing!
I enjoy watching the 1949 Kenworth pulling loads of cattle. I hope there are more videos in the future. Thank You.
There will be thank you
thanks for the vid. brings back a lot of trucking memories. was just freshly reminded again how noisy the inside of the cab used to be, no power steering and the shifter with the shifting pattern on top. aint no feel'n like cow mobile'n. thanks again for letting me ride along down memory lane!
That interior is immaculate!...Good old horse!!✅️🐴🐴💯💯💯💯💯⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍
Thank you!
As a big muscle car guy, I still have a profound addiction for classic semi trucks. Started when I saw the movie Duel(1971) with my dad when we found it on RUclips. Since then I can’t get enough of watching restored old rigs grinding gears and working hard.
Love that movie!
Me too
Ole Dennis Weaver
@@brandonbarthel8377 how can he go so fast!?!
This old school truck is working like a clock and doing its job after restoration. There is no need for a sophisticated technology. Move cattle from point a to b. Well done.
Thanks!
This is just so special. What an absolute pleasure going for a short spin with you in this classic.
You sir , know how it's done 👍
Thank you!
Incredible truck. Im glad you work it and not just put it in a garage to look at.
We’ve worked it for 70 years, wouldn’t make sense to stop now!
That's amazing how that truck is still on the road that's a good old American Kenworth there I'm only 36 years old and that truck was built in the 40s holy crap right on right on Keep On Keepin On Kenworth Anthony
Thanks Anthony. It’s pretty cool to think about
the first trucks i run were old beat up 80s kenworths. they had lots of wear and quirks but incredibly tough and reliable. and gave me a love and appreciation for kenworths ever since. i would probably give my left nut to have your truck. amazing!
Man….a deal like that…..how can I say no….haha thanks
This video is just a great example of how much working life these old trucks can still provide. Fantastic machine.❤
Agreed, thanks!
That dash and interior is beautiful!
Thank you! It was a lot of fun
It really is. That old Bakelite? wheel too. So big.
Man thats the best, seeing that ole school still getting down the roads pulling loads 😎😍
Thank you, I get a lot of thumbs up
That truck sound really nice, love the little shot of brake you gave us....good load as well!
Thank you, it has a 3 stage and I had it on 1.
So awesome a 1949 Kenworth still hauling the load COOL COOL!!!
Absolutely wonderful! Excellent job filming as well. Thank you very much for sharing this.
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your truck. I’ll look forward to your next update whenever you get around to it. Love how clean that engine runs and sounds fantastic.
Thank you!
Thats a time machine for me. Takes me straight back long ago to a better time. Kudos on the correct shifting. That thing will out live us all.
Thank you sir
Beautiful old tractor thanks for the ride , it’s cool how many of us miss the career we now watch videos of it 👍 , this driver does a nice job shifting those gears, I used to pride myself on never being able to feel my gear changes and spent millions of miles perfecting it and enjoying the scenery of the best office in the world
Thank you!
You Will Never Hear this Beautiful Music from an Electric truck , AND A Electric TRUCK WELL EVER LAST THIS LONG !
Agreed!
But when that elec. trucks catches fire you can BBQ a steer real fast!!
Thanks for the ride along. Glad to see that old girl still earning her keep
Thank you
Just found your 3 videos, thanks for sharing your truck with us! Leave the paint as is on the cab for sure.
Nice KW Sir! I'm looking for a 53 myself. One day soon. May God bless you and your daughter.
Thank you!
THANKS for allowing us to ride along!!!!
Thanks for watching
That is a beautiful looking and sounding machine. I just love the diesel music. Thanks for the ride along and my compliments to your daughter for her camera work. Thumbs up 👍🏻 😄
Thank you for the kind words !
Aww, man! Y' mean now I has to get OUT??? Wha' I was just-gettin' comfy in the seat with the view, dang-it, LOL!!! Oh, and that-sound is just next-to Godliness in itself....!
Thanks!
@@jordanlesamiz4599 Hey, thank YOU for the ride!
These trucks with all that age, would still last longer than a new plastic one!
No doubt about it!
And they are way better looking too than all these new trucks and don’t even get me started on the EV trucks
@@shadetreeshenanigans604 That is right, the steel parts can last centuries and be cleaned and painted like new over and over again! Plastic deforms by time and temperature and eventually falls apart. A relative of mine is still driving a WWII Mack truck and he said, it is still the most capable truck amongst all of the trucks his friends have in terms of towing power. it is the only truck which can pull 90 tons! low speed but high power.
Miss that sound. Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome, small cams definitely have a unique sound!
The farmers of America don't get enough recognition thanks for all you do to keep food in the stores.
Appreciate that….
As a trucker, I feel that haven't really lived life until I have got behind the wheel of one of these. Very Cool.
the ol girl sounds good!!
And to think we did same as today with so much less and still got it done.. half the hp half the luxury no air ride nothing. No ac and today drivers think they have it hard being a driver.... lol lol and yet we did more than drive.. we also had to help load or unload your frt... on most places.. drums bags whatever it was half was floor loaded anyways.... we were smarter and more physically in shape than today's cdl holders with a medical card... claiming to pass a physical.. when only thing they really want is 140 over 90... dont matter if you 250 or 300 lbs take your pills get to that number and you pass a physical.. sad but true.. I say that cause I started before cdls.. and even when I was young I rememebr drivers pulling into diners for lunch have a sandwich and a beer or 2 and hit the road... no placards back than.. nothing just hard but easy times...and prob made just as much today or a little more by comparison....
I think it was the pre-interstate hwys that were the biggest challenge. Never know how fast a truck would go cuz you had to stop for a flashing signal light with nobody around for miles. Except the cop with his lights off watching that light.
You tell'em, brother ! 👍😉
Tough men create easy times, and easy times create weak men. We are in the weak men cycle, and it's about to create much harder times
The first tractor assigned to me 30 years ago was a GMC Brigadier with no air ride seat, no A/C, no power steering, and I ran lower Manhattan with a pup. Good times.
Not really. You get a dui for just having a beer.. you need to a of license. Lol lol you had it easier and better. Any day I would kill to go back in time to do this. Not anymore. You are a sally. If you really thought you had it hard.
Man that's a beautiful truck just shows that you can never kill a classic Kenworth or Peterbilt
She looks and sounds beautiful, thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
That brings back memories of when I learned how to drive, I like it I wonder how many of these guys driving trucks today could or would be in trucking if they had to drive trucks like we had back then.
Great question……I wonder, definitely a different skill set is required🙂
Probably less than 80% I guess you drive a automated your special. I started with tractors and heavy equipment then a 72 white cabover.
@williambillwaynerobertson930 if your referring to me you would be confused, I hate automated transmissions, I learned how to drive in a '71 W9 small cam 350 and a 5 and a 4 , drove several 4 and 4's little window Pete's drove a '62 Autocar etc , I got in an old Freightliner one time that had 3 gear shifts, do you know what that combination is ?
@@kevincarter5854I don’t know the answer to your question, but I’ve wanted to drive an Autocar ever since I saw the movie “Over the Top” when I was a kid haha
@jordanlesamiz4599 the 3rd gear shift in the 1963 Freightliner was a 2 speed rear-end, it was a two axle tractor with a jif lock to make it a 3 axle, and it had a 4 and a 4 for transmissions, I only drove that one day, I've never seen another one. Yes the Autocar's I was told were the top of the line back in the day.
The A box is handy for farm and ranch work. I drove a couple R model BowWows that had uglier green paint on the interior. I preferred KW’s green. It took quite a few years before the supplies of surplus gubmint greens worked their way through the system.
This truck was originally red, with beige interior
Hi 👋🏻 the truck sounds 100% 👌thanks for the ride
I remember how slow big trucks moved in the old days. Getting stuck behind one would be frustrating,especially in hilly terrain. Today they accelerate and move as fast or faster than the cars! I also recall how cool they looked going down the hiway with twin streams of black smoke blowing from thier stacks!😊
Very nice, especially the interior. We have a 1967 LW923 that I think used to have an NH220 but now has an 8V71 with N65 injectors so about 280hp. It originally had a 5x4 (which we still have) but I replaced them with an RTO-9513 for practical purposes when logging, but it could easily be reverted. Timken 38 double-reduction axles on six-rod. Really nice driving truck but totally underpowered for 43 tons : )
I’d love to see some video of that truck!
8V71 "screaming demons!" of the Detroit Engine Brand. Drove so many trucks with this engine back in the day, I still hear the ringing in my ears ftom the exhaust noise. Their distinct engine tune could be heard from several miles away.
What are those two strange sticks coming out of the floor and what's that third pedal for LOL , I watched this video and couldn't quit smiling, can you imagine any pieces of Tupperware garbage they are building today still earning a living and pulling loads at the age of 75! Absolutely love that tractor, you have my respect and a new subscriber from Ontario Canada!!
Awesome, thank you sir!
I don’t understand how he thinks he can drive a truck? Where’s the flip flops and headphones? I believe it’s mandatory to wear them, also you can’t speak English and must wear gray sweatpants 🤷♂️
@@RustyZipper LOL you speak the truth!
Nice truck 👍 . I learned to drive in a old Ford 477 gasser 50 yrs ago.
Love your truck Jordon. Lotta' soul there!!
Thank you!
That grill can be repaired find the right chrome shop and they can take the dents out and rechome it talk to some of the hot rod or high end restoration shops and they can tell you who they use . Keep up the good work on it and keep putting out videos for us this is the kind of restoration projects we all like doing and watching doesn’t matter if it’s trucks,pickups,cars,jeeps etc
Thank you, I’ve found a few places that can and will repair it. Honestly, it is the next logical repair.
Спасибо. Получил огромное удовольствие от видео. Привет с Урала ✌️
во, нашёл русскоязычного, п
Yeah... Tha truck is pretty old. But tha spirit of it's trucker is foreveryoung.
that's some gorgeous country that you're driving through. thanks for posting.
Thank you!
Ahhh! Small cam sounds great!
Pull compression release for all starts, saves wear and tear on startups. Truck is really clean and nice. Yea, I'd leave the Brownie in there. What is top speed in 13 and Brownie in high?
Didn’t know that, thanks. Good question…..I don’t know, but fast. 80ish🤷♂️
@@jordanlesamiz4599 Do you know what gears it has? Cool to see you are in Oroville, orchard counrty!
@@alleyoop1234I don’t know the gear ratios…..I should figure that out. It has 4:10 rears🤷♂️

Yup, it just works!
Thanks for the ride! Great old truck!
Thank you
What wonderful mighty truck!Amazing vídeo!
Thank you
Damn, its awesome. Love these old rigs
Thank you!
What a fantastic old truck! Awesome video!
Thank you, I appreciate it
A superb video, thanks to you both.
Thank you!
Beautiful and runs and sounds so nice
You were right! I wanted to see that ol’ truck run. She sounded great, thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Neat old truck! I've never drove an old KW, but I have driven a few old twin stick Macks 👍
Thank you
Turbin wizzling is heard, right through the thousands miles across the Globe. Good luck my goust trucker brotha. Peace! ✌️
Well said, thanks!
Thanks for the video and sharing with us.
Your daughter did a good job with her camera 👍👍
Thank you!
Who would want a new one when this old beauty cruises along like a gentle breeze? Purrs like an angry lion. Just great.
Thank you!
Amazing. Trucking history alive and well.
Hopefully for a long time to come
That Cummins sure do sound good 😍
Sure does, thanks!
Thank GOD for these old workhorses! This is sooooo COOL!! Thanks for this cool history lesson!
Thanks!
Love your content. My dad spent a summer driving a truck and trailer combo, Kenworth for Kiabab lumber in 59, waiting for his report date for the Army. He had some good stories, and hearing and seeing your truck driving, made them come to life.
Thank you for keeping this historic beast alive and working.
Thank you! Where was/is Kiabab lumber located?
@@jordanlesamiz4599 I think they were bought out long ago. But they were in Fredonia Arizona for the mill, most the trees were cut and Hauled off the Kiabab plateau in northern Arizona.
Beautiful old truck, great video well done
Thank you!
Those are the trucks that i grew up watching. Still awesome machines.
Yes they are, thanks!
1967 Winter Hill Somerville Mass. Wellington crane company was at the bottom of the hill. I was a kid I remember hearing the noise from a chain driven truck going up Winter hill. I think it was a Diamond Reo. I would stand and watch in awe.
So cool!
It really nice to see a vintage Kenworth out on the road. yours looks and sounds sounds really healthy.
My uncle started a logging company in the late 60's in Yamhill, OR with a 57 Kenworth. If I'm right it had
a 275 and triple sticks. I really loved that truck. Take care of my truck for me! Regards from Ody Slim
Great history there, thanks for sharing!
Still standing for what American Greatness was always about. No bs just always getting the job done and then some. So great to this this reminder from the past. Thanks
So true
Hats off to you partner. Not many people could do what you do on daily basis. Well done!!!!
Thank you!
@@jordanlesamiz4599 Glad to do it. Driving a truck is not an easy way to make a living.....
I would never have guessed that they had 13-speed transmissions back in 1949 !
Haha, my granddad would have loved it if it had. No, it originally shipped with a 4 speed gear box with a 3 speed aux
Old is gold, no power steering ... Great!!
I wish I had power steering when I’m backing into this loading chute😮
Oddly enough, the little snort when it gets to work at 1:28 is the most rewarding for me.
The sound is my Beethoven and Mozart...I love it when you can hear every ignition.
this truck will never die
🤞
