You want to sell the transmission pan off the old one I’m having issues with my 48re was thinking about doing a swap like this but maybe in the future I just use my truck for heavy towing
Can you elaborate on that? Not sure what you mean. The shifting feels a lot different from my 47RE, and the TC lockup between 2 and 3 is really nice, especially since it stays locked from then on and all the way down!
5:10 for Alaska that is probably a small pile. Here in Ohio that'd be beyond good. A guy down the road has a wood stack the size of his barn. Big ass barn btw. Rounds just split in half and quarters. Idk whom stacked it I'd assume him but I don't see him. Should go talk to him someday, just 10 or so miles. Got an old dump truck I like
You're doing some young man shit in this video. Keep it up, your backs better than the rest and God loves to see you guys giving it. Made from a better steel you people, better quality control too. My people idk what flavor of shit ima get into. Godbless
Great video. I have a 12 valve with nowhere near the power youre making. I have been considering this swap, curious if youre still happy with it, any problems. Just looking for an honest non paid for opinion. I love my old truck and just want it to tow a little better
I actually have not used it all that much yet since so busy with other aspects of life, but it's been really great so far overall. However, I am currently having some erratic shift behavior which has been linked to my Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) not producing the correct percent throttle to the transmission which I have verified with my scanner, so I have a new TPS coming soon. When I explained the behavior to KC and Dave at CAConv, the immediate response they had was to check the TPS. Sure enough, it would bounce all over, and often read 53% when my foot was off the pedal to let it downshift naturally. It has downshifted HARD at about 1100 rpm when it sees this value, and only then, so that's not a tranny problem, but my TPS which I have never replaced in 24 years. But more to the point, it is AWESOME to have a 6 speed from the 4 speed. The shifts are firm which I like, and I also love the 2nd OD at 0.61. Great for cruising 75 or 80. The 47RE OD is 0.69, but 4 speeds leaves a lot to be desired. And reverse on the Allison is about 4.4, which half the speed of the 47RE, and I've always noticed reverse is geared way too high. So the gearing on this new tranny is very pleasant to me, and the confidence of its ability to handle the Cummins is truly a great load off my mind! The tap shift feature is also great, you can limit what gear it will get to, and also downshift more aggressively if you want. So yeah, if you love your truck like I love mine, it will endear you to it all the more, and it will definitely tow better and more efficiently.
@@RobGADV yes, that is a good estimate, mine was a bit more since I got a billet input and some other clutch enhancements. Not cheap, but when you compare it to having a shop fix your failing stock tranny, it softens the "financial blow" a bit since this thing is a MASSIVE improvement!
Check out the @brentjones response I gave below. I'm totally loving it. But I need to replace my TPS (in a couple days) to fix some goofiness it is causing
The video is nice to watch and full of info with some tips and tricks to make it easier. If you wanted to down the road if you ever get tired of that starter placement, you could order the ATS Allison bellhousing to mate up the 68fre adapter plate. Then you can use the upgraded 47/48re flex plate and have the factory starter location. But I'm not sure if you have to have a custom torque converter made though. ATS had their own bellhousing casting done for the Allison so it could mate up to the 68rfe/Aisin engine adapter plate.
Honestly, once you do the starter swap along with the wiring change involved, it would be kind of a pain to switch it back, especially since the CAConv adapter plates etc. are high quality and work well, and once it's done it's solid! I'll admit I was skeptical about the replacement starter, which is physically smaller than the original, but then pleasantly surprised when I found it cranks the engine over faster than ever before!
Yes, I do still like it. But if your building will be insulated, you certainly will not need such a large one. You would be fine with a much smaller unit if insulated.
Actually you're the first, and I agree, but are you thinking the seal is leaking now? The oil pan is seeping, and I'm assuming the oil there is from that, it doesn't look like the rear main, but I may be wrong...
I'll admit, I wish I would have chosen the 040, but the 033 has been awesome, and adequate! I think about the 057 at times, but harder to transport, and in reality, the smaller machines can do the big jobs!
Interesting concept... I had not considered a mulcher, but it looks promising. I'll admit, the cutter seems a bit hard on my KX033, and to mulch material would be preferable to just cutting it. I'd be interested to learn more.
Thanks for sharing the video. Have fun with the loader. When I was a small kid my town had a 1963 125A II that I thought was really cool and modern with so many sharp angles. I remember the Michigan's light yellow paint with dark blue wheels against the snow very well. The spec sheet I have lists its shipping weight as approximately 30,500 lbs. (with 20.5 x 25 tires). If you are interested I have photos of a couple of 125A Series II on Flickr, even an HO model I made. Thanks again.
That's an interesting comment! Funny how memories from childhood influence us in later years. My 125A has those same tires... which are NOT in great shape at this time! Any photos/info you might share would be welcome!
I think waisted time used excavator for brus cutter, Better used mini kubota tractor L1500 more efficient in brush cutter, More faster and better Tractor can made 3 hectare perday... Excavator i think 3 hectar maybe take 5 day or more 😂
Great trailer. I purchased a 12' Moritz from the good folks at Bennett Trailer Sales 2 years ago. I use it for everthing and can't imagine working without it now. I added a Noco battery charger and AC port, tarp and a remote to raise and lower the dump from the truck. Love it.
Nice save. The regular lynch pins get stripped off the trenching bucket as fast as you can put them on. I find that moving to a locking lynch pin (offered by John Deere) or even better yet, a bolt with a locknut will keep things together when runningthe narrow bucket. Hope Spectrum was gentle on you for replacing that line!
Need a 1/2" or 3/4" thick sheet of steel that is wider than the tracks and trench to back over - likely 2 large squares to be lifted in walked on lift-place another and walk. Love to spend money - but the city likely has some for city trenching. Maybe a rental place or lease from city.
Yes, that would provide a wider span, and along with the dozer blade. Good call, I should have done that! Live and learn! But approaching a deep trench from the side like that might still pose a problem... but then also the arm/bucket could help with that. Next time!
Haha, point well taken, I have a tendency to make more work for myself at times! But... $20 Harbor Freight changer? I take it you haven't been to the store for awhile, the basic manual changer is $60. Still not bad, but I'm looking to maybe invest in a pneumatic unit, but a bit harder to justify at $2000-ish.
I have 14 of them, make sure you get a good seal along the bottom edge where the air filter seats, you can use a heavy grease or a thin bead of silicone dust and de bris can get under neath And into Your carburetor, but they are great saws take the time to get good at adjusting the carb. Low high and idle lots of times it’s just a hair turn One way or the other to get them running sweat as pie when broken in they will start be than a lawn mower . I know that’s hard to Believe, but they will. !!!
www.ecomfort.com/Modine-PDP300AE0185/p48541.html This is the unit I got. I paid $1890 for it, it's gone up like everything else! Might be a bit large for your greenhouse, unless you have a BIG greenhouse!
I assume you are referring to my relative lack of safety gear? Funny, I've had "mishaps" here and there, but I can't remember ever having a chain break on my chainsaws, which I've used all my life. Hmmm, wonder if I just jinxed myself
