Really I have never been down this road before. I was dragging the 5th wheel and came across this little montage of shovel and truck along the road. Tell me if you see it OK on street view. Sorry I could not safely take a picture myself.

When I went by there was a sign that said "come on Betty Lou" or something like that. I love that he is saving the old iron for all to see.

I know that road driven it million times never thought to take picture of the equipment down there. Take it you took back road around to get to 101 cause that sure isn't a shortcut to Hurricane Ridge?

Fort Worden--> Dosewallips and park--> tour out west again

Besides, if all you do is take the shortest route you miss things like old iron.
We have an old Garmin GPS that we took on our flying tour. We'd rent a car and push the handy button labeled "least use of freeways" and then enjoy a nice slower pace and much better sights than you get from the concrete ribbon.

180 or 220, you can see the compression release arm and cable in front. Some body did a refit.

The 220 part is easy.
But going back in time searching the memory vault is that a single disc or double disc pump?
I have a hard time remembering the difference having not seen one for 40 years.

That early it should be a single. IIRC.

My first Cummins experience was a 220 in a tugboat that mostly sank on the Tacoma waterfront in 1980. I helped get it going again. I took off the generator and starter and put them back on after a quick dewatering and minor overhaul.

But here's the great possibility SkyKing---That has the possibility of being the earliest of the Cummins H series
engines on the planet. The earliest known to exist is a 1939. The AC's last year of production was 1938.
So it very well could be the oldest if original to the truck. There just weren't that many around at that time.
