I was hoping so Hayseed.. It did start up much better with a 12 volt battery. and it ran better too. Thanks 67RModel, I will check it out.. jojo

Here is the starter. Direct Drive, CW rotation, 10 tooth, 6-volt, 3 mounting holes..

Hi guy's... I need a starter for my '48 Int. KB-7. It is a 6 volt, positive ground truck, but I am changing it to 12 volt neg. ground.. The current starter is a Delco 737 Z / 259595.. I have been on-line for over 2 hours, with no luck.. Does anyone know of a company that can cross reference this starter, and possibly know if there is a 12 volt version. Part 2.. When I got this truck I used a 12 volt battery, not knowing it was 6 volt. it actually started just fine. Is it possible, that a 6 volt starter is capable of handeling 12 volts, just like some truck starters that are 12/24 volt? I dont beleive the 12 volts is what causes my starter to click, I think it is because it is really rusty and has some rot. Pics are on the way..Jojo

yup, just jack up on the center of the trunnion bar ubtil the weight is off the saddles. Then grease it till grease popps out of the bleeder in the end cap.

Mark!!!!!! Dont Jinx us.. Dammit man... Now you got me scared.. With the way they Appoint people, instead of winning the vote. You may be right...

good batch of truth... jojo

👍

All of the ones I did required removal of the body. Then pull all cross members behind the trunnion, and I would cut the Hucks on one side for the X-Members in front of the A-Frame, then use a ports power to spread the frame and then simply roll the whole assembly out. I'm guessing you can't do that..

Well, since it's a garbage truck, I assume lifting the body is too much work, I also assume the A-Frame is not cracked at the top or rotted through just above the trunion bar.. yes to splitting the eyes to slide the trunnion out. I have seen that done many times. There is a company here called Axle Surgeons, that will cut out the old bar and install a new one.. you have to have the wheels off and 6 feet of room around the truck. The last one I had done was 3 years ago.. $1500.00 parts and labor . I myself have done many complete A-Frame replacements, where I split the frame and rolled it out on it's wheels. I guess you have a rear packer trash truck.. so the body has to come off.. keep in touch, Jojo

Are you removing the whole A-Frame? is the A-Frame rotted out? How is the truck built? ie: tractor/ dump/ roll-off.... maybe some pics of the rear of it, from the rear.. jojo

Yeah that's it..... You guys are smart...

Laptop ??? What Laptop???

So true Bob.. so true.....

You aint no Dumbass.. You are right in what you say.. I still cant beleive that Balloon Pop actually won...

Awwesome!!! is it 6 wheel drive with Marmon Harrington front axle??? BTW.. I see you had the day off for bad weather.. We broke a record here... 79 degree's and SUNNY... I rode my sportster to work.. Ok I'm done 'Sidetracking'..

Youre right,,, And that SUCKS!!!! MarkT... just sayin'

63.4 ?????? Now youre just bragging... 😉

Those pictures of Pete Buttplug, are uncomfortable to look at (If you like him) . He is obviously not welcomed there and rightfully so.... Of course, 'Balloon Pop' still hasnt visited either.. If this doesnt spell '' AGENDA'',,, I dont know what will... If it wasnt a White/ Conservative Community,,, There would already have been celebrations of success in aiding them, and mabey even a gathering in the local Park with T-Shirts, Doves, and Balloons to celebrate their great accomplishment.

I would think you buy all the door parts and the dash switch to do a conversion. I have also seen little motor boxes that fit over the existing window crank shaft. It's a bit ugly, but easy to maintain. Do you have a rider with you? If so, it will become a coffee cup rest. :).

Man I wish I owned a Cabover... I just think they are awesome.. My little Isuzu is great but..... Not the real thing..

I can not!! beleive the intentional destruction of our country!! And there is still support for this P.O.S. This is WAy BIGGER than our post;s on this thread..

Man that it awesome!! Jojo

Since I am typically replacing the bearings, I pull the caps and just put them back snug.. won't be starting the engine anymore.. it takes me about 2 hours to pull all 13 caps, one at a time.. my customers appreciate that I do that before I buy any parts or pull the heads and such... Jojo

one other thing I was thinking about, because this is on my mind all day.. I hope that whoever digs into this engine, that they take the time to drop each rod and main cap individually to inspect the condition of the crank in the beginning.. a bad crank changes everything.. I would like to hear other opinion's, on my opinion... jojo

Bob, I have alway's had the owners concern in mind in all of my repairs.. I know that a money maker, that is sitting aint no money maker.. That can also affect the guy that drives it, if there arent any spare's to keep THAT GUY workin'.. (earning a paycheck) This is no B.S. !! I truly care about those that need the truck i'm fixing, to make their living... Jojo
