I looked at those headlights yesterday an said the same thing, but someone must have cut a duel light pocket from a superliner an fiberglassed it into the hood cause it looks like a factory job! The inside needs some TLC one door needs (alum.) welding an the dash needs some work, nothing major though. I would have liked the Plus 3 newer style cab but I like the old style steel dash. I plan to start on this tractor right away so I can use it myself when I drive as the season gets going(I hope It gets going soon). The motor runs I just have to pull the Inj.s out (there froze) an start her up an see whats up but I'll prob. just pull er out an have my 2 cycle guru go through the whole thing.

Joe Ditchkus Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Ernie Looks good. The 12 Banger should be a hit. Even though the new trucks have more power they cannot replace class. Joe D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe D.An the new trucks also don't make enough noise!! I'll bet it's gonna look good pullin a cement tanker, I don't know why but the older tractors look better pullin the tankers.... Ernie D.

I always liked the 15 speed trans. Colonial had them beheind the 318's, they put the deep reduction button on the shift knob using a 13 speed selector that made it E/Z to shift progressive Ernie PS Thanks for all the GOOD LUCKS guys!!!!

Lmackattack Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Trucks looking good. If you have time When you get it home can you pop that hood and get us pics of the engine and how they got it in that frame. I find it intresting how they set up the cowl and extension panels The duel head lamps look like they came from a A model KW or that aftermarket clarbian (Spelling?)hood MFG. they look diffrent for sure. not sure if I like it or not?... Glad shes home safe and sound...!Trent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superdog Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Ernie,Congrats on getting this truck.Glad to see it made the trip home OK.I tried to talk a friend of mine into buying it,but he drug his feet a little too long.I love the looks of it,the paint scheme and dual headlights and air cleaners really set it off.Find a nice Mercury sleeper for it and a 2 stick 4x4 trans and it would be really sweet.

bullhusk Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 I brought the 700 into the shop today, I have my friend Steve tearin into the 12-71!! Well so far It aint lookin to bad!! It seems that the two heads have been re-done an have not even seen oil yet, Steve pulled the pan down an It looks like they changed 3 liners an pistons (just as the pref. owner had stated) also the inside of the bottom end is super clean an the bearnings show very little wear if any!! also we are thinkin that this motor was twin turbo charged?? The motor has duel pyro's an has 80mm injectors! Well I hope to have the garage shake rattle an rollin by the end of the week!!! Ernie DS PS hope to have a video an pic's when I get her started an runnin so turn the volume up an hold on to your computers!!! .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
