It would really sound good if it had a drop back exhaust manifold.

I still have a 68' KW W900 with the ser# 110,000, in the shed. Easy to remember.
335 cummins, 13 speed, and heavy duty torsion bar suspension. 46,000lb or something like that.

A V8 Cummins-that's 10 years before the 903.
950 cu.in. VT8 430. I know where there is West Coast International with one from factory that still runs.

I'd like to have a cabover transtar like in that Harley Davidson pic. That is just like the first tractor-trailer i rode in.

Did a quick search and found this:

Seems one of biggest uses was in tanks for the military, guess if you build it Uncle Sam will buy it!
From what I've seen from Ukraine lately some tanks don't need long term durability of engines, at least the Russian built ones!

That is why they smoke so terribly, do not care base conditions as do start and run, get into the fight and be sacrificed!!

Is that because the tandem deck-trucks are not as good as they used to be or because the combines may be a little larger!I’m pretty sure you can’t haul a combine on a tandem deck-truck anymore

That's a plot combine for small test plots.
