    Detroit 6v91 smoking

    It might be turning when you look at it but that shaft may still be broke and not letting it turn up to speed. Really should check the blower drive! Don G.

    Detroit 6v91 smoking

    I would say rack adjustment, also check the quill shaft that runs the blower, those were a problem if it was reved up and shut down it can break. Sounds like the blower is not working. We had that issue on the 113's.

    White 666?

    Hi looks like I have a chance to save this truck. I believe it's either a white 666 or a Corbit 50SD6, trying to fond a weight so I can get it on a lowboy to come home! I also found a 20ton trail that goes with it. Way back in the brush. Hop I can save it too! Appears to have little or no...

    It's been a busy summer, had Zelda out to the car show at the local high school last weekend. 4 miles from the house so drove her there. Had a great time, lots of interest. Took second in the 1940 to 1949 class. That was a plus! Lots of compliments from the other owners. Don G
