Best truck i ever had was my 74 pete cabover, cummins power, 13 speed, 4:11 rears on air. Todays trucks are junk. Thanks for the memories!!!

Hank - A couple thoughts ... Pete's w/Cummins KT450s & KT525s could be equipped with either 12V or 24V starting systems. If this is a 24V system, you'll may be able to identify it (if the truck is from the late '70s or so) by a Delco Alternator with two outputs (12V and 24V). The 12V output is near the rear of the alternator body and the 24V output is close by a little farther back on a transformer/rectifier box bolted to the back of the alternator body. Generally this configuration uses 4 batteries - two series connected batteries in parallel with another set of series batteries. These will usually have two battery cables connected to the back of the starter (these are the ground wires), two battery cables to the solenoid on the starter (from the two +24V outputs) which also connects to the 24V alternator wire, and two jumper cables which also connect to the 12V alternator output (and also provide12V power to the rest of the truck). Depending on when the truck was built, there could be a 12V/24V series/parallel starting relay instead of the alternator described above (the relay connects batteries in series for starting and parallel for running/charging). Since you system seems to be functional at 12V, you may just have a 12V system - if so the two wires at the back-bottom of the starter are ground cables and I think you should find two battery cables also attached to the solenoid which is near the front of the starter on top. You probably need to have a battery connected to each pair of battery cables (solenoid/ground on starter) because you need to have parallel cables to deliver enough current for the starter. Hope you might find this useful. Sure do enjoy you channel!

Always did love the old Petes

Hi Hank and Wiley. You have a 12/24 system. You need 24 volts to the starter and then 12 volts to the rest of the electrical system.

That truck setup with the equipment, tool boxes and all is sweet 😍. I'd love to have one of those for myself. Good work guys, going to take me a couple of days to get through this length video, which I appreciate.

I'm thankful these guys do what they do. I'm to broke to restore an old cabover and I want to so bad but at least with this channel we can get virtual tours and hear them fire up. I hope there's cabover in heaven. If I make it and I pray I do

Why do people abandon these trucks dont take much to keep them running and in decent shape. All that money just rotten away in fields blows my mind

Hank, you need to put one of those farm Jack's, railroad jack in your truck. You can always use one to raise the cabs on those trucks.

Uh, Hank, a doghouse is the engine cover between the seats, not the bunk. And that truck is a pre 1981, it has the round, better looking headlights.....

Thanks for sharing, Hank and Wily! We appreciate everything you do! 👍😎 Have a Happy Thanksgiving!! 🍗🦃

I live in Germany and that as a common man. But if I were lucky enough to win the lottery, I would definitely fund the restoration of one or two of these great old trucks. So wish me luck, guys!

Hank I want to tell you thank you very much for your service in the Army an God bless you

Happy Thanksgiving fellas. Love the tenacity

Have Happy Thanksgiving Hank and Wiley!! God Bless y'all and stay safe!! Great video y'all, good times and a new learning opportunity!!

Thankyou for the videoes guys!! Keep up the Great work!!

Happy Thanksgiving to Wiley.. Hank and everyone there that make these videos so interesting...

""Thank you sir, may i have another" Wiley was reading my mind, when he said that movie line. Great video, guys.

Tricia Anderson Farmers Insurance made a donation to the scholarship fund. We look forward to seeing a young person get their schooling funded.

I'm thankful these guys do what they do)))

❤😂 All you can do is give your best shot at whatever your doing that's what counts..❤🎉... thanks guys for the video 📸📸.... JJ...😊😊

Great video as always! Love these old trucks. Hate to see them rotting away. Happy Thanksgiving to both of you!!!

You boys come a long way. From a bent screw driver and a crescent wrench , to that truck full of nice tools. Nice video.

Thanks for sharing have a great thanksgiving

I drove a 69 cabover Pete just like that one, only difference was mine had a 318 Detroit with a 4+4 transmission back in the late 70s, Enjoy y’alls videos from central Florida. If you look in the sleeper you’ll see the air intake tube

1976 Peterbilt I was 16 I was running Florida with a brother-in-law out of New York learn to drive a 13 speed Road Ranger to this day I say It's the Best Transmission I ever made

Wiley that filter and pump next to fuel tank is the primer for the fuel and the lever on the front that hank moved is usually a selector for either tank to prime from one tank or the other.

You are my boys ❤ love you ❤️ keep up the good work 👍❤️

Hey Hank hi Wily, Hank you need to put a aluminum checker plate sheet on your tail gate , it would make it easier to slide stuff in and out

It.s nice you guy.s bring boy along you guys are the best.

Great 👍 having a young lad with you he will learn plenty 👍 good morning hank and waly one of my favourite American trucks a cab over 👍 we had a few in UK 🇬🇧 mostly in Australia and newzealand

A lot of effort went into this one great try great video thanks Hank and Wylie

Love watching these videos of will it start I would love to fly over and join you guys in trying to get these old girls started I have never done anything like this before but would love to try it love the old American trucks 👍👌

We are very, very, very excited, just jumping up-and-down excited...... Please start, please start .... 😂

Great video! Hopefully you will have better luck with the next one God Bless!

Love classic trucks.

Hank, you have alot of plugs with you in your truck, 2 wrenches and a pair of vice grips. 1 wrench on top of hose 1 on bottom and vice grip them together. thanks fellas been a watcher for along time.

Happy Birthday Hank!!!

Hank, on a cab over you should place the strap over the cab to get leverage with a long strap and it will not pull on the window post.

You guys can get it going y’all need a part 2 that’s all. Take them batteries charge em up spray that starter with wd40 let it soak then try again don’t give up that fast it has potential to start.

Very good job and God bless y'all

As per the last video where you tried to pull the cab over - put the strap over the top of the cab to avoid damaging the A-pillars and make the pull from 2-3 times further away to pull forward rather than downwards.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving Hank and Wiley.

Hi hank and Willie from west Alabama hugs

part two is needed. batteries are either dead or it’s a 24 volt system

Thanks!

Wily it looked like you was listing to the engine heartbeat .lol

Happy Birthday Hank!

I drove a 82 just like that one with a 350 Cummins and a 13 speed at a past job. Was kind of wore out but would never die

Hey Hank, just wondering, what happened to your father in law being on the videos? I remember seeing him a few years back and always enjoyed seeing him work with y'all. Keep up the good work brother!

hey Caleb you stumped Hank twice good job Hehe

Excellent video Hank :) , Wiley:), Caleb :) , Mr. CRAIG :) also think may need clutch pedal in help starting up motor and transmission in Netural too would help guys out ! Also think should try that and dog house over transmission hump in middle Hank and back is bunk !

You guys worked your butts off on this one. Hank, I thought for sure you and Wiley would get it running. Good job, anyways buddy 👍

happy thanksgiving to you all

Assistindo aqui direto do Brasil 🇧🇷

Go for it guys

I joined the ARMY in 74 retired in 95, when I left most trucks were COE when I came back most had hoods the KW anteater was the newest trucks on the roads. Lost my CDL in 2021 due to health reasons. Would love an old COE but think the DOT might frown on the lack of CDL. LoL

Hopefully you do a second video on this truck this it seems like it needs more work done on it Happy Thanksgiving

Hope you guys had the local fire department on standby with the jaws of life when Wiley was trying to get in there😂😂😂

That woodpecker does sound like a fuel pump 😂

gotta make sure the rack is free so you don’t have a run a way. earl and some vice grips move back n forth

Wiley, should have put his hand on it, And said "HEAL". Bet it would have started then.

Very cool

I actually lived in Prairie Grove for a while. Prince Trucking, they had like 15 trucks at one point. They went out of business in the early 90s i think.

Wish I had a cab over that will motivation for me to get my class a cdl

The top back portion of the cab will work as a fulcrum and will pull the cab over much easier without damaging the cab

Another fine "Will it tilt" video

@38:00 looks like the "Philadelphia Experiment" Wylie shifted in time/space.

Today is my birthday. Just turned 38.

Wiley you know Hank if you say something about buying lunch he will throw you a can of potted meat and one slice of bread.😂

Wiley get hank to jump the starter buddy. Come on hank suck it up brother 😂😂

Are you guys the 2 they send up to check the dynamite ? When it don’t go Off ??

I got a really good question. Why don't people use a breaker bar to test the truck to make sure it is not stuck & Y they don't they check the air filter Before starting it?

That door put a cargo strap around it and pull it open with your truck just busting balls I love the entertainment

Prairie Grove Arkansas. It's right around Fayetteville Arkansas close to the Arkansas/Oklahoma state line.

Ya'll do have a safety bar when you crawl under the cab to work, don't you? Something stronger then a cheap strap, nine lives if you are a cat. Great videos be safe and Happy Thanksgiving!!

Hank, its Prairie Grove, Ar

Where did the drawers units in the front doors of your truck bed?

more Caleb videos.Hello from romania

Not sure but maybe both cab locks needed to be locked in order for the starter to engage to turn it over as a safety measure! Just a thought!

Hank I think 🤔 you can get it running 🏃‍♀️

See my dad has been there done that I was raised on a dairy farming Upstate New York in the 60s to the mid-70s and he lost almost everything

can't win them all good video see you on the next

Hank, next time you have a hydraulic leak like this, clamp it with vise grips!

If that truck was parked in 1991 then it hasn't been sitting for 20 years the truck has actually been sitting for 30+ years .

Something about those old Pete COE’s!

Wiley could you possibly get to the starter if you pull the Dog House off😮

Thank God for Wily!

I got a idea to help yall get the cabs up use a bottle jack and some 4x4 posts

May have been a 24 volt starter, I hope you come back out with the tools you didn't have this time. I don't like being shown up by a challenge, and I'm betting that you don't either. God bless! 🙂

Wiley said, if I get stuck don’t call 911….call Door Dash for Dairy Queen delivery!!!!😂

why not use a volt meter to find ground lug off the starter to frame ground

Wily, didn't know cave exploring was one of your skills.

I wonder if this cabover is forsale ? 🤔🤔

Dried out hydraulics? Been a minute since that was topped off 🙂

If I remember correctly, in a cab over you climb over the doghouse to get in the coffin

Prairie Grove, AR.

Bill Murray has a video out there of him in a cabover and he raises the cab while driving

Y'all need to go back to normal semis instead of cabovers. Takes you longer to get the cab jacked up than it does to find out if it'll start. 😄

Good video you and Wiley gave it a good shot some times that's just the way it goes
