12volt is the only way to go, make sure that the starter has the right number of teeth on it. The previous owner of my B had the wrong starter gear drive to start out with and made a few bad spots on the starter ring. I cleaned it up and 85% of the time it catches, usually spins out when I have an audience. I will flip it over one day when I have to pull the transmission or it fails to catch.

Nice find! Yea was wondering about the rivets also is it because of the year or was it a European conversion of sorts?

Thanks everyone for the replies!

JT nice pun (Dump Truck-Rock That)

Mike That's the wife doing all that fancy pictures and video recording (all on her Samsung galaxy III) I have been dragging her to truck and tractor shows for awhile, and now the ATHS meetings, I think she is either starting to enjoy it or I am in some deep $hit!

Mike Keep it Cummins, save you a lot of headaches and extra work

Well I cant even quote so Ron, Thanks for the info, maybe I will hook a strap to the cab and hold it so it won't fall off 2 stack, Thanks for posting the link Superdog, I thought the same thing, the cap has a Mack stamp on it so once I got to looking at it I figured it must of been factory Terry, Can't kiss and tell, but my neighbor came over and looked at it said I bought a set of tires and they threw in the truck. I look at it as I rescued another dog from the scrapper.

for whatever reason I cant paste into BMT, I sent a PM to Barry couple days ago about it have not heard back, so if you want to see the video go to youtube and search thomastractorsvc video is 1968 F 785, if any of you can cut and past into BMT feel free to post it for me. Specs 5 speed with a 237

I drove up to Nebraska and picked up this old girl, got a few leaks and she is stiff in the linkage but she runs good and not that bad of shape, will need both windshields and back glass. I guess the windshields will probably the hardest to find. Has had some rust or body repair done in the past by the looks. Worst part is the passenger side floor by the door, both doors in real good shape. The tires are tubeless on the rear and 10-20's tube type on the front, they are all at least 80% or better. She started right up this morning with a single battery was down in the 30s overnight. Waiting on my youtube video to load, here are some pictures. Anyone know how to tilt the cab, I found the cylinder and lock but cant find anything that would pump it up. I have used the air and manual pump cant seem to find anything on this one, maybe I am over looking it.
