teched Posted November 4, 2021 Author Share Posted November 4, 2021 It's pretty bad...the floors are gone, door bottoms are rough. But it has a lot of parts I can use on my b42. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Oooooooooooo ya I’m a little confused I thought the B42 was the weed rescue is the transmission in the parts truck???? Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teched Posted November 4, 2021 Author Share Posted November 4, 2021 The b42 is in my shop with the 6v53 Detroit engine. The b61 is my latest acquisition. The cab is pretty bad, I will be keeping my b42 cab...though not much better that the b61. Yes the triplex transmission is in the b61 (in the weeds) I was not able to crawl under the b61 since it is settled down in the dirt to get a number off the Trans. So I'm not sure exactly what model. I'm going with what the owner has told me. I wanted to bar the engine over but I can't get a breaker bar in there. I assume it's seized. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teched Posted November 4, 2021 Author Share Posted November 4, 2021 Good thinking!!! I didn't even look. I did crawl in the cab but the drivers seat looked like it had melted and I layed an old board across to get the paaenger door open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleclutchinweasel Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Hopefully, you will find a "direct in 4th" setup, which gives you double-overdrive. Makes for a very long-legged puppy. I'll be watching this one closely! You've got me interested! Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teched Posted November 4, 2021 Author Share Posted November 4, 2021 Getting a double over would be great! But probably not my luck. We will see. I have to go to NJ this weekend for my Daughters Cheerleading Competition, but hopefully will have it home next weekend. Will probably take it to my buddies Junk Yard where I can take my time to salvage what I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjc transport Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 i prefer the sound of a 71 or 92 series. the 53 series has a different note to the exhaust.

Freightrain Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 The smaller 53 ci motors really buzz when you wind them up.

General Ike Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 I've driven all the detroits for the most part. A turbo'd 53 is one of my favorite noises in all the world. Quote Ed Smith1957 B85F 1242 "The General Ike" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
