mackdaddy Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 My first truck had a 13spd with a 4spd progressive brownie. I pulled into my friends yard and one of his drivers came out looked it over, and said that was an awful heavy carrier bearing under there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

other dog Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Reminds me of the guy in Arizoner with the KB12 International. He said "it's got a 13 speed with a 3 speed Browny and a 2 speed rear axle,which gives me 78 forward speeds". Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

RFCDrum Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 If you watch all of the videos with the guy from Aus he is a real pro and a very nice guy. Always enjoyed watching them. That 16 speed Spicer is the cat's ass. Cheers, Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That in cab ether injection system would've saved me from a few exhaust soot rain showers when I was younger and my Dad drove cabovers.

Speed Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I made one of those for my '57 GMC dump truck,but then I fixed the carb and never needed the ether. They're easy to make,but also easy to get dependent on,when a little TLC can sometimes make the truck start easier without ether.(We used to make a mix of half ether and half Diesel fuel in an oil squirt can to prime the generators. They sometimes had a rough time starting at -65 and 10,200 feet altitude.Don't know how you'd arrange that as an "in cab" start-assist.)

farmer52 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Second part of the KB12 video. Love the sound! Been to Jerome, AZ in a 4-wheeler. Would hate to drive there in a big truck. 1 Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Dash Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Nice video.I wonder if any of those 4 wheelers following him down the hill realize how lucky they are to hear the sound of the jake through the straight stacks up close and personal.

607t1173 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Personally,i always liked the "feel" of the old style 13 speed knob better than the "new and improved" modern version.......................................MarkThe one on the left could be pre-selected, which was rough on the back box, the one on the right can't be pre-selected which is alot easier on the tranmission.
