PICKED UP A WABCO 666 B W/ A POWER-FLOW TRANS AND MECHANICAL CONTROLS THIS SUMMER W/ A BLOWN UP HR CUMMINS. SHE'S A LITTLE OLD BUT THE CONDITION AND PRICE WAS RIGHT. AFTER SOME RESEARCH FIGURED OUT THAT OLD CUMMINS PARTS ARE EXPENSIVE AND SOMETIMES A LITTLE HARD TO FIND. SO AFTER SOME MORE REASEARCH WITH THE WISE OLD CUMMINS MECHANIC. WE FIGURED A 300 BIG CAM WILL BOLT UP TO THE WET BELL HOUSING AND MUCH EASIER TO FIND AND FOR YEARS TO COME PARTS FOR IT. AFTER SOME HORSE TRADING I HAVE A LATE MODEL (1982) CUMMINS MOTOR. THE BELL HOUSING FIT W/ JUST A LITTLE DIE GRINDING ON A COUPLE OF HOLES AND OVERSIZED DOWEL PINS OIL PAN REAR MAIN FROM OLD MOTOR BOLTED RIHGT UP TO THE LATE MODEL CUMMINS THANK YOU ENGINERS FOR LEAVING BOLT PATTERNS ALONE. REAR MOTOR MOUNT/RADIATOR MOUNT HAD TO BE RE FABED NO PROBLEM LITTLE TIME AND SOME 3/4" PLATE COOLING LINES WERE RE ROUTED BETWEEN HEAD AND TURBO THEN THROUGH TRANS COOLER. :BangheadTHEN WE HIT THE DEAL BREAKER STARTER WONT BOLT UP HITTING CAMM FOLLOWER BOX, I FOUND AN OF SET GEAR REDUCTION STARTER THA WILL CLEAR WHEW THAT WAS CLOSE. FINISHED WIRING IT UP AND PLUMMING THEN CRANKED IT UP AND ALL SYSTEMS WORK COUPLE LEAKS BUT NOTHING A COUPLE OF TURNS W/ A WRECH DIDN'T FIX. GOT IT OUT ON THE ROADS AT THE FARM AND IT WORKS REAL GOOD! HERE ARE SOME PICS OF THE PROJECT AND WILL SEND MORE WHEN DONE W/ SHEET METAL AND MUFFLER. STRAIT PIPE LITTLE TO LOUD! CHEERS ALL GRAVEY :usa
How much Hp will the ol girl have now
Thats alot of HP !!!! We own a 777 Wabco for a long time. It has a an old 6-71 no turbo. I don't know the hp maybe 250 or so and it has more power than it needs. Your engine looks like a 350 HP so i'd be very carefull with the throttle. A post on here says many break axles and we broke one but it was extremly cold and I :Banghead pushed it before it warmed up. I bet yours with the straight pipe is allot quieter than mine with a muffler. LOL I'm jealous of that Randy
Wabco 666 govenor BIGRUS THAT IS A 300 CUMMINS BIG CAM 3 SO 300HP. THE 1 THING I HAVE GOING FOR ME IS THIS GRADER HAS A PIERCE GOVENOR ON IT TO CONTROL THE THROTTLE. ONE MORE THING THE DREAM TEAM IS NOT GOING TO RUN THIS ONE AS WE ALL NO THEY CAN BREAK A STEELY IN A SAND BOX . CHEERS ALL THANKS FOR THE REPLY GRAVEY :usa
Welcome to HEF gravey! Good looking old grader ya have there. Your posts are hard on my poor old ears though..lol Here is the rule for posting in all caps..I'm sure you didn't know..
Ok old wise one. Dam young guy's messing w/ you again! Hopefully I can get my kitchen pass signed for a little longer. Cheers all Gravey :ban
Looks like a nice tidy repower! I have a 666 standard transmission with the cummins engine, and it had snapped an axle before I bought it... So just be extra careful as others have already said. I'm sure you'll love that machine, I really love mine! Have tons of fun with it!
