HD11G help

Thanks DMiller. I found an old coffee can stuffed in a corner and weaseled it in between the wing nuts for now. No way I am carrying gallons of fluid down the hill lol. It's wet slippery, muddy, cold and just waiting to warm up all over me. I would be one well oiled machine lol

Here are few Misc things. I have no idea about the first one. It looks like its for part of the cooling system. It looked like it was attached to the water pump. The generator was in front of it. It hard for me to tell for sure whats up front from the sides.

Ok here is the right side

The fuel line filter to inj pump has been removed, for what purpose is unknown, quite possibly this had already seen a PSB failure, the burnt wiring almost to me indicates the machine was running the starter stayed engaged and smoked the electrical as no other real damage and is down where the local fire would not have gotten to it without scorching the entire machine, that also could be why they removed the fuel line, to try to shut the machine down. Being as was open this long has done no favors.


Rails, rollers are toast, agreed but should it be worthy re=assembly with cat 6.906 rails and modifying the suspension trucks for cat rollers would remedy that. All that wood rat stuff/debris will need to come out before ANY start attempts are made.

I dont have one of these, or any AC track machines (yet) But I do have a IH TD6 that I am still learning about, and as I look at your pictures of the under carriage and tracks I dont see to much good news. Track is very worn as you have stated.  Yes anything can be rebuilt and or repaired. AC Mel would be the best guy I can think of to give you the best evaluation of your machine. Regards,  Chris

The generator was in front of it. It hard for me to tell for sure whats up front from the sides. This is whats left of the wiring behind the instrument panel. I did not see a hour meter anywhere. Did they not have them in then? All I see are the four I took a photo of already.   I noticed this pipe is ether missing something or was cut. It looked like it's for PCV/ crank case ventilation. It runs across the valve cover. After removing some more wood rat nest I was shocked to see the starter and more melted wire. I was looking at the bell housing to see if I could find any kind of numbers on it. All I seen was two plates. A large one on the right and a small on the left near the starter. That's it for these will post under carriage next. Have to go do a few things first.

Ian Beale I didn't notice it until I looked at the photos. That hose clamp on the injector line cant be good. I see the nut in the original photo is actually cut. If this is anything like they did with this house I am gonna be  in for some crazy repair work.

Ian yes for sure by Joe Fiddler. I have to give the guy credit though, we bought the house 20 years later after he rebuilt. Some of the ideas were great just poorly executed and of course some are like WHAT? 

Late 60s early 70s GM ton and half(six lug) not quite a two ton truck. Cannot see if still has an engine in it, if 60s could have come with the old style V6 that was the Toroflow predecessor. back end got hot and cooked, cab looks decent enough for parts sales. Most likely a C5000 or 6000.

Quick search shows no 454 option. It looks to be somewhere in the 60's according to the headlights. Someday I'll run the vin if it's still there.

You are correct. Removed some sticks before pulling it out. Seems really watery/runny to me. Specially being its very cold and icy this morning. What weight oil do these use?

Just looked again and the Budweiser just jumped out on the hood of the truck. Which says to me it must have been a set up as a tractor to pull a beverage distribution semi. That may help guessing how the truck was specked out new. That body style was 67 or 68 until 72.

 

Within the last year, I spent some significant time, blind alleys and many mistakes doing exactly what you're getting ready to do with that PSB pump.  Mine was on an 11000 engine, but concepts would be nearly identical.

 

Mine had sat for at least thirty years with the fuel filters and supply lines removed, so I'm sure your experience will be similar to mine.

 

I posted lots of detail here on an old thread.  I think reading through that thread would be helpful, but when I looked, my linked, hosted pictures, which will be very helpful to you, have lost their links.

 

If you'll give me a few days to a week, I'll edit those posts and relink the pictures.  I think the thread might be very helpful.

 

I would caution you not to attempt to rotate the engine until you free up the pump or remove it to be freed up.  This is the voice of experience.  My approach resulted in having to find three donor pumps for parts and required much more advice and help from this forum because of what I didn't know and because I rotated the engine before removing or freeing the pump.

 

The thread is titled "An Auction for the Rest of Us" and you can find it through a search.

 

I'll come back here and post a notice and a link to that thread once I've updated those photo links.
