- Here's a Half Track With Cummins Diesel Engine You NEVER See!
Alex and Kurt take a ride in a 1930's Linn Tractor with an early Cummins Diesel engine. This Linn was used an a mine in Canada. This tractor selling April 24, 2020 on the Annual Pre-30 Auction. Follow this link bit.ly/39xjiHR to see all the catalogs.
H. H. Linn initially built his own tractor-truck purely out of his own need. He has previously represented the Lombard company so he had previous experience with track design. The half-track truck design worked very well so in short time he began manufacturing them in his hometown, Morris, NY. These tractors were mostly used in logging and lumber operations but were also used by the U.S. government for various heavy duty jobs. This example has been completely restored and is powered by an early Cummins diesel engine. It runs and drives and has a beautifully restored wooden bed with a cable operated tailgate.

I did the restoration of this truck in 2004, did a lot of research on the original cab maker to respect his craft at the time. Its Ohio 1/4 sawn white oak supplied by PJ White hardwoods Edmonton Alberta Canada. It was a mythodical journey of true woodwork that I am proud of. Thanks for those who appreciate what I did, -Jeff Kiss
Proud daughter moments
That's so awesome. there's one of these sitting rotting away in a reserve I'm working in right now except with ski's in the front, I'm going to try and buy it from the band and would like the restore it as well
Happy that someone took the time to restore this gem!!!!
What a beast a real truck of its day and the real beauty of the cab as well as the dump box and tail gate action and the Cummins engine a real jewal!
Only seen a photo of one of these in an Olyslager book and never knew one would still exist.
I got to say that's absolutely amazing I can't believe things like this go unnoticed in our modern world the reality is is almost all of the modern tractor trailers and even some of the heavy haulage equipment in mines do their current positions to this type of vehicle
There was quite a few of the Linns use for snow plowing and logging here in up state NY
Love it! Hope it gets some period correct cummins badges!
i was thinking that to.
This will turn heads I'm very sure, excellent restoration.
What a cool old track! I hope it sold for very good money because the fellow who restored it put a ton of time effort and money to get it this beautiful!
And it's a diesel ! Noooo way your kidding me. And it has a steering wheel ! Wow unbelievable. And it turns ! Now that's too much
Wonderful beautiful machine in that time God bless you ❤
Saw a Linn truck with a trailer, which had treads like this truck, in a junk yard in Scranton Pennsylvania in the late sixties. I wanted to bring it home to New Jersey, dad said NO. Good video.
Did anyone else notice the secondary track nested in the larger one? I've never seen a suspension like that. Does anyone else have more information about it?
The Egyptian principle - before the wheel was invented ! Running on rollers that you pick up at the back and lay down again at the front. As a result, it should be very free running !
Awesome
Wow that was interesting. Wonder what the cost would've been back in 1930. Thats the same model as my mother. She too, was a 1930 model. Awesome.
Did your dad trade her in every 5 years for a newer model? Sorry pal I couldn't resist.
I have the strange urge to mount it a quad 20mm on the bed
👍 awesome machine
Sold last night for 180K I think.
до чегож язык противный, но аппарат супер
Try
Must be a catholic, awful loose with Gods name
Hats off to whoever saved and restored that! Good stuff
It took a certain kinda guy back in the 30’s to look at this thing in the catalog and think “oh yeah.”
First thing the buyer should do is remove the plastic Cummins badges from it. IMO it detracts from its antiquity. Amazing machine! ❤️
When they first began selling them in Linn tractors (they were experimenting in late 1932 and selling them in 1933, my grandfather was driving one on a road project by August, 1933), they had a plate either side of the hood that read "CUMMINS DIESEL ENGINES".
@@LinnTractorNut I was thinking something more along those lines would look more authentic.
@@TheRealSmithFamily they had a badge called Cummins oil engine
We have 1.5 ton dodge truck same engine 1936
I do not remember Cummins engines painted Caterpillar yellow!
@@LinnTractorNut Cummins oil engine was another badge used
The undercarriage in the tracks could be a video itself. Very cool.
*Yeehaaaa,I wondered where this went....many years ago I went to see the ole boy whom saved it ...An we started it up by pulling it with an ole winch tractor ,twenty feet ,alive she was after many moons....we toured around the yard fer twenty minutes an that she blows *frost plug popped,still running,backed into the shed she went ,to be fixed....way cool,the ole boy passed on an a sale was held ,thirty trucks n dozers an steam tractors up fer sale,an I had to work 🤣🤣🤓,all good to see ole Lynn purin agin ....💖🏇⚡up in Canada it was in my ole home Town.., blessings ...🤠⚡🥞🥞
Do you know how much it sold for at the auction?
@@chinabluewho 131,250
What a cool rig. Whoever restored it did a beautiful job.
This thing was NICE by mid-30s Depression era standards. Someone made an excellent investment, and whoever restored it did some truly incredible work. My compliments to H.H. Linn, his craftsmen, and the previous owners. I want this truck, very badly...
Beautiful truck, would loved to have had a better look at the tracks though - it looks like it uses a roller system a bit like early Cletrac crawlers.
That is one cool truck. When I saw the traction machine in the background, it reminded me that I am the owner of one myself. Funny how time flies and what we forget... I was driving in the backwoods of Missouri one day, 35 years ago, when I came across an old traction machine sitting in a field. Curious, I got out to take a look. Nearby was an old farmhouse. Out came an elderly lady who was very nice. To make a long story short. She asked me if I like the "Old girl". I said that I did. So, the lady gave it to me. "It's yours. Take her home." Like I could do that. LOL
The absence of pesky electronics is beautiful
The guy who was driving this for work every day was laughing his way to the bank every week.
We have 1.5 ton Dodge truck with this engine its actually called Cummins oil engine ..
I want one! I bet whomever buys this will drop a couple coins on it. Beautiful piece of equipment and history. I'd have to have two. One to have fully restored and looking pretty like this one and one restored to usable factory delivered new so I could play with it and use it without worrying too much about scratching the paint. 👍
Cool video.
You're right, what's the point of a toy if you can't play with it? She was never built to sit and look pretty.
@@reddirtfarm7704 At the time of purchase the value would probably have been similar vlaue as the current estimate. That was never a cheap vehicle.
@@reddirtfarm7704 Nah, didn't like the colour:-)
@@reddirtfarm7704 it went for $131k?
I used to hear Cummins engines start only with the compression release as a kid. It was good to hear it again.
That machine is Awesome 👌 👏 😎 🙌 😀.
THE ORIGINAL OWNER MUST HAVE BEEN VERY PROUD WORKING WITH THAT
did they not move the mining town of Snowden in northern Manitoba to a new mine at Lynn Lake Manitoba with Linn trucks but they had ski,s on the front
I need this in Snowrunner
was thinking the same thing, just wish the game had a throtal you could just keep at 70 %or just straight 100% with this type of thing
What a beautiful truck! Its every man's dream toy.
Beatyfull. 100 Points from Germany
H model Cummins made back in the day when mechanics were real men. The fuel pump weighed nearly 200 pounds, the generator 85, the starter around 50 or so. Head bolts torqued to 450 ft lbs, mains to 350ft lbs.Hp ranged from 130 for the 2 valve head models to 320 for the supercharged 4 valve head models. They were tough dependable engines. Some were still in daily use in the 1960;s
You are out of your mind 450 ft/lbs. 450 in/lbs maybe. 450 ft/lbs can pull the threads out of a half inch bolt.
The guy is right but they were studs , worked on them in the early 60's
That's a sweet ride. Outstanding restoration. Anyone know how much it brought at the auction?
Model D-35 (1935) Linn, they began using Cummins in late 1932, it's a "H" 6 cylinder, they were still available with 4 or 6 cylinder gas Waukesha, HXB or HXE gas Hercules or diesel DFXE at that time, original owner was McIntyre-Porcupine Mines in Canada, I believe it was at Earlton, ONT in 1994, and that Ray Bethelette sold it to Bill Graham and they (Bill Kiss and others) restored it about 2005 (when they contacted me for data). I have a page for "Linn Tractors, Trailers and Vans" on face book.
Now that is one cool piece of equipment, hats off to LINN
This truck is treasure absolute treasure so beautiful makes you just want to go back to the year it was built
Excellent thanks lucky to get it.
I believe these were built in Morris NY..
the other end of Mill Street along Lake Street if you google map it. Plenty of videos on this platform, and even a page on face book.
Ha no stopping that, wonderful restoration!
What a awesome restoration. Cummins still sounds the same
That is hands down, the coolest thing I've ever seen!
Absolutely love it restored perfectly an I agree with the Smith family take the Cummins badge off maybe find one from back then that was in a shop an if a badge was to b used use it
Thanks Charles! I got a bit of flak for my comment. Oh darn! Chrome plastic doesn’t belong, but it’s my opinion.
@@TheRealSmithFamily no problem last time I checked back then everything was metal so if ur going for originality it needs to come off people just love that Cummins badge tho damn thing doesn't impress one bit tho I'm a POWERSTROKE guy if u want horsepower an torque that's what u want geared rite they'll pull a house off the foundation
Joey at KingofObsolete47 is still working his Linn tractors in Northern Manitoba.
I watch his channel, very entertaining.
Wonderful video and beautiful restoration - everything about this machine is simply amazing, thank you
Damm, you get it just as the snow stops! What a beautifu;l piece of enginnering.
Since it came from Canada, wonder if it worked in Cape Breton? Would like to see period Cummins emblems on it.
There is a page in the truck spotters guide of these this is the second I have seen running not a lot were made gotta find the book it lists the numbers .
I have that same motor.. if anyone is interested.. three20 four 38 4390. North of mpls mn.
That is gorgeous and that CUMMINS sounds so damn good
that tail gate is slick
I think the sreering might be harder with a load. All that weight on those tracks are going to want to streight. There is a similar machine at the museaum in Austin Manitoba but i dont remember the make.
Big steering wheel, big arm muscles, not going over 12-15 mph, but they also had a reversing transmission so you could shuttle back and forth.
The King of Obsolete has a cpl of those that are still used in Lynn Lake Mb
Beautiful old machine. Great to see these machines restored and loved
Awesome truck
If you want to ride in an original linn see king of obsolete he has 2 of them
I wouldn't care about it's level of antiquity i just want to drive it. Lol
Somebody needs to show the king of obsolete
King/Barnes sold Bill Graham a complete but non running tractor, Graham also had at least one ex-CANOL pipeline tractor the last I knew.
As a professional truck driver I can say I am drooling as I watch this. That truck is beautiful. I want one
Boys with toys.....
Love to know how many foot lbs of torque that thing puts out. Looks like it could l rip tree trunks out of the ground.
A GENUINE OPERATING HISTORICAL MUSEUM ARTIFACT. WOULD BE NEAT TO KNOW WHAT CANADIAN MINE THE TRACK TRUCK WORKED AT.
an asbestos mine in quebec canada
skadill brought me here
Nice piece of history with an awesome restoration job. Thanks for sharing
Holy shit
It doens't look like a 1930s machine. It looks like something from 1910.
Soo cool. For tonnage equivalents
A standard backhoe front bucket is 1 ton of 3/4" stone so that bed is 5 tons or so.
That thing is Way Cool...👍👍
That’s a cool truck!!
Only thing neater than that was this old international truck. And it only takes first place because I saw it in person
My new daily driver
What a beauty. Excellent restoration.
i would love to have a ride. awesome
A whole blazing 20 mph haha im guessing without fenders it was never meant to see the open road.
Beautiful truck!
Someone did a great job! God bless you!
Pls more details about it
What do you want to know? Plenty of videos on youtube and I have a page for Linn on face book.
(Posted by Rick Pickell) I notice it has a Cle-track similar track system.
Who's the idiot that stuck that modern Cummins emblem on that old beauty ?
Didn't the guy from the Rudolf the red nose rain deer 60's era cartoon drive one of these?
Why the junky Cummins. Just in a hurry to throw anything in it?
I dig it man!
This thing is bad ass.
Awesome 👌🏼
Bet there isn't another one of those anywhere in the world ;-)
That thing is awesome
He walks on and first thing he does and the second, then the third... he uses God’s Name in vain...’oh, my God...’...half way through he had done it six times...
Yeah, I hate that as well. Sounds equal parts ignorant girl , gay and heathen
Wow.
What a thread. X3
Yall had some fun with this one!
Oh my God built that engine??
There's a second track in the track
H6 Cummins with single disc fuel system
