Finished building the engine for my boom truck

It’s as close to a Cummins 444XT as I could get (the pistons aren’t made anymore

855 cubic inches of turbocharged goodness

I think women would propose marriage to that beast. Very nice.

Pushed 100' of 10/2 UF through 100' of 3/4" flexible conduit without a fish tape. Last eight feet was kind of stubborn. Peoples' well should be up and running tomorrow though.

Not that it will help with that now, but for next time...

You can blow a line through the conduit then pull the cable. Small conduit is easy with a decent sized air compressor and string line

Last time I needed to do that in 3" conduit I put the shop vac at one end and blew air at the other. Pulled a larger line through with the string line then pulled the 1-1-1-4 through with that

Digging how you mounted the belts so that the printing is matched up.

Attention to detail. :thumbsup2:

Thanks

It's going back up to Ellensburg tomorrow, to the shop where the truck is sitting

Hard to impress high standards on them if I don't do so myself

Dragged home 3 or 4 1950's harley 2 stroke and a '47 indian chief basket cases. Now to clear a spot in my shop and find a chromer that likes to rechrome wheels(we'll start there, paint the frame and have rollers)

These are all from my dads shop, now i just need to stuff his house and 24x48 shop into my 36x48 shop so i have space to work.

Also listed tons of stuff on craigslist.
