quick info going to use this a a farm truck hopefully then down the road buy a backhoe and some other EQ and get into some earth moving type of work. my full time job is snowplow driver, EQ operator, rebuilding roads, ditches, guard rail.
I got a 1970 kenworth dump truck with a cummins 855 think it is a small cam nta400 block number is 10519360.
it runs and moves dump went up and down only issue is the pto pump is leaking hyd fluid and is driven with a small drive shaft. also has a bunch of air leaks. its rough looking but all seems to work paid 2k for it so hope i don't lose to much on it .
Where a good place to read and find out how to get this this road legal again its been sitting for last 15 years.
Ifs its a small cam do i have to add zinc to the new oils so i dont wipe out the cam?
How do i find out if it is a low flow engine ?
the guy said it will get hot if you lay on it hard going up a hill. it could use a bigger radiator in it cause it came with a ntc290.
