KENWORTH Twin Steer Restoration PART 2 Pressure Washing Like a PRO! 

Hi everyone. Not a great time to post on a Monday but due to weekend commitments it’s all we could do. Hopefully you can all enjoy still

Fantastic old jigger Steve, all those K140 series trucks were brilliant, there used be so many on the road, Rex,Comet,Jetaway, Ipec, Kwikasair CJ Dean had 3-4 beautiful looking bangers, not to mention up north and over the west !! Jeez that Road Commander in the background is fairly arousing😋 great video cobber, stay safe!

Another great episode Steve. I think 8 wheelers look great, they're very common over here in UK, mainly tankers and tippers but plenty of other types around too. (although not Kenworth of course).

I love the twin steer. I reckon a VT903 Cummins would have sounded great in it as well. As usual, this is a thoroughly enjoyable video and I really look foward to them mate.

Beers and cheers from old Steve in Chicago in the Old USA keep up the solid work, my friend🎉

Good stuff Steve, sounds great and cleaned up nicely, a beaver tail out back will definitely make it handy, good thing you packed a lunch 🍺 🤠

New tray looks great on the KW Steve! Nice job by all. I enjoyed the video. Cheers from Canada!

Gday Steve, thankfully the throttle shaft has come good, the tray will clean up nice and probably not to bad to convert to a bevertail, top job mate, cheers

Another awesome adventure little brother she is going to be a beast waiting for the next video adventure already lol say hi to everyone for me yall have an awesome week

That turbo whistle 👌🏿

always keep hydrated

Thanks Mates another part of the the job

Growing up we had a Zetor 4712 spent many hours on that. A lot of people couldn’t get their head round the gear change.thanks Kerry.

Oh Steve, I love it when you drive the crane and holding one from the "snack pack"

another great one

Steve your collection has grown nicely. And it looks even more impressive lined up. It's fun watching you exorcise the beasts too. I myself haven't seen many Kenworth twin steers . That old gal is way cool. Cheers Mate ! 🍺🤛😎👍

Good on Steve..Love the lunch pack.

Top video matey… first truck with a clean windscreen at steve’s place, this build will be a beauty and handy to assist with the tractor addiction 👍👍

The KW looks better with the tray on mate ! Even temporarily . Was a good driver seat ride on the Zetor ! Yes , I was listening mate . I'll ring again sometime , always enjoy what you send us Steve . Scott 🌵

Awesome evening little brother and family and friends how are yall doing getting ready for another awesome adventure let's get this rig road read lol 😆

The old is starting to look good Steve. Seeing you with the snack pack I had to join you cobber. Eagerly awaiting the next vid mate.🤠

Let’s hope “Spitwater” get on board with some “Product Placement “ ……cheers and beers 🍻

I like to see all the equipment under cover.

Heaps of 8 wheelers here in NZ, very common configuration

Steve that a great tray mate, I love the length, maybe leave the length until you make up your mind, a bit of extra length always goes a long way. That HW pressure cleaner is just the ticket, saves alot of elbow grease. I’m just catching up on this restoration so looking forward to watching the next couple. Shout out to all the boys giving you a hand. Well done mate, crack on

Nice looking truck

Thanks

I reckon you should put the UD two-stoke into one of your tractors!

Hey Steve i remember back in the 70,s twin steer trucks were big here in Adelaide a lot of Atkinsons,Fodens,Volvo G88 89s,i remember their big draw back was the 40 acre paddock you needed to turn them around ,but still they were great ,i remember the early Road Trains were twin steer with dollies and trailers behind a big Rigid,.Clark shoes had a factory on Richmond road here in Adelaide and ipec had twin steers picking up and running to melbourne all 2 stroke GM,s ,they also had twin steer single rear MAN,s and 1418 Benzes,this was in the late 60,s early 70,s best of times i recon and your keeping it alive Thank you Kym Adelaide

i got a new 6711 Zetor when i worked on a farm in the early 70s in Scotland it was fitted with Barum tyres when it came from the dealer

Sometimes it’s easier and cheaper to modify an old tray then building a new one from scratch. Enjoyed the video mate thanks for sharing

Good job buddy

Thumbs up from me 👍

Yes Steve There are Both in America & Canada but not as a wide spread between Axles as there is in Australia

Good time to post for us in the States, it’s Labor Day holiday. You’re doing such a good job on that I think you should come over here and put the wheel seals in and install tray I have for my 74 Diamond Reo but I might not be able to afford the beer we’ed go thru!

Steve, awesome pressure washer. Is that a steam washer? Ever since I saw your twin steer I always watch our highways and never saw one in Connecticut. I honestly don't know much about them but I'm guessing that twin steer can take more weight than a single steer axle. Glad to see you are making good use of the zetor and tilt trailer. I love seeing the old tractors being used. If I were the old tractor I would want to be put to work. I bet if you looked at the front of it carefully you would see a smile on that grill in fact yea mate I saw the smile when you drove off with it. I see that smile on all your trucks and tractors. Be good. Your friend from Connecticut. Jim

Bloody awesome Steve! She's going to be a picture

Paljonko kenwhortissa hevosia😊 komee kuorma auto💪👍🇺🇲

Your always a day a head of my brain. Me: I wonder if kenworth made cab over twinsteers. You: I posted a video about that yesterday.

Hey up steve sweet video, mate ov mine worked for Volvo he recommended some oil in the air system to free things up, can't remember if it was ATF or Hydraulic oil. That lunch you showed looked a bit light on for three fellas don't want to see people going hungry

In washington they call dog trailers pup trailers and some have three fixed axles and one or two steerable axles on the trailer and some trucks are either bogie or tri drive with one or two pusher axles, I follow a lady owner driver called “Dauminique The Truck Driver”

Nice, this is a great little series you got going on. Will you be rebuilding the flat deck? Is it a dump/tilt deck?

Mould, mould, mould! Way to ruin your week😩

in the uk we call them 8 legers

It’s Monday here in kiwi land😂😂, I didn’t realise it was Air bag suspension. Be a nicer ride than the old rubber block back end and Heavy leaf springs front. Drove an old Foden(poor man’s KW) 8 wheeler transporter, it was a great old truck, Do you have weight restrictions on how heavy a payload you can carry on a 8 wheeler?? Looking forward to the next instalment

THE FORK LIFT sounds like a ford 3000 or 4ooo

Was the tray bed (Flat bed body to us in the UK) that was originally fitted in the first video, not suitable for what you needed Steve, and why ? Eight 'leggers' with flat beds were extremely common to British Road Haulage from the 1930's right through to the late 1960's. The configuration is still in use on Bulk tippers and Cement mixers today.

looks a million bucks the cab after that, hmm probably almost what a new 8 wheeler costs these days after being bodied i guess

I was slashing in one of my paddocks here Steve and I got stuck between two trees. I selected low range and tried to push the tree out in front of me. In low range those Zetors have that much power that you can shred tyres. Anyway the arse of the old girl sat down then Booossshh and all this water came out from under the tractor. I thought "There are no water pipes in this area that I can damage. As the arse end sat down I realised that I had busted the tyre open and all the water was pouring out of the tyre. I took the tyre into town to the tyre shop and was asking about the best brands. I told the guy that I didn't think much of Barum tyres as the back tyres had only lasted 40 years. He gave me a nasty look. I cracked up. I bought my Zetor originally as I have had a BRNO rifle which are made in Czechoslovakia for 50 years and it is as good today as it was new. I reasoned that if they made their tractors like they made the BRNO it would be plenty good enough for me. It has never let me down.

The usa has heaps of twin steer trucks the biggest difference ive noticed is all the dif trailer designs they have some u wonder how they dont just break some are just dumb and sum are realy good i dont know y we dont build more us style trailers

your camera you are using seems to jump as the video seems not smooth flowing it has a jump each second.

Steve is a turbo nozzle not an option on the spitwater??

your old man sure looks like you steve. edit. sorry i dont think he is ya dad is he ya brother?

Beers and cheers from old Steve in Chicago in the Old USA keep up the solid work, my friend🎉❤😊😊
