Hank, the FWD trucks are made in Clintonville, WI. They are now under the name of Seagrave, and they are primarily making firetrucks. I grew up in Clintonville and the high school there is named Clintonville Truckers. This is cool seeing some history.
I recognize the Sea Grave apparatus name
Yep, I grew up in Shawano, right next to Clintonville, had friends that worked there, these drivetrains were almost indestructible really good truck
I drove a 1974 fwd redi mix truck with a big 6 cylinder continental engine
Zshould be a air shutoff on the air intake
Nothing sounds better than a Detroit Diesel running in my opinion. They are fun to drive. I really liked the wolf joke 🤣🤣 great job as always good to see you guys out and about
The Four Wheel Drive Auto Company, more often known as Four Wheel Drive (FWD), was a pioneering American company that developed and produced all-wheel drive vehicles. It was founded in 1909 in Clintonville, Wisconsin, as the Badger Four-Wheel Drive Auto Company by Otto Zachow and William Besserdich.[1] The first production facility was built in 1911 and was designed by architect Wallace W. DeLong of Appleton, Wisconsin.
They maybe rare in the south...but up north, those FWD's were trucks that cleared the roads of snow when regular trucks couldn't get out of the driveway. They were beasts and nothing stopped them!!!!
Actually I think Wisconsin highway department still has some, they still have Flintstone mack DMs but I think I saw some FWDs in the distance plowing
Yup, did that in northern Canada.
Good job, guys! Y’all boys are gettin good at this will it start lol. Keep up the good work boys. We’ll catch you on the next one! Thanks for sharing!!
I was employed by the old SCL railroad and was involved in clearing a train wreck when a couple of other employees from another shop location arrived to assist. They were in a FWD. I've looked on line but haven't been able to find anything like the truck they had. It was similar in size to let's say a Ford F-250. What power that truck had. They were able to use it along with it's winch to pull several railcar truck assemblies from the heavily damaged roadbed. Just a pure, tough and powerful work truck.
Gotta love that sound! The sound of POWER! This is the first time I've ever seen an FWD. They kinda remind me of a Ford in some ways. Like an old 900 from that same era. Great job as always guys!! 😎👍
FWD (Four Wheel Drive) used cabs from other manufacturers. Most of the time the front clip was their own. IH was used as well as Dodge and Ford.
I live in Minnesota and a retired city employee. We had several cab over FWD's that were used when we bought them and we used them for snow plowing streets. Still have two i think they are about 1970,s. They were once plow trucks at the Minneapolis International Airport and were in the movie AIRPORT. The two left are used as large snow blowers and run great and have Cummins power plants and Allison auto trannys
Love your service truck.
Thanks for taking us along.Another great video.
Thank you wiley for checking that rack first! I have seen them Detroits run away and it's not fun!
Hank, keep up the hard work! really enjoy the videos! you should get ya a ice machine for the farm
Hank, it was an all wheel drive probably a cement truck. Rinker Materials had 100s of them thru out Florida back when I was a kid. those extra shifters were for the transfer case.
Rodger that brother rinker had a bunch theyd go anywhere
I Love Mechanic's Banter, It always follows the same patterns, no matter what you work on.
I always admire from a far when I see father and son being able to be in the same vicinity let alone get along😂 wished me and my dad could get along and work on things.
Man if Hank saw this comment calling Wiley his daddy......
@@ripstephenhawking8787 they look alike lmao
Very good job and God bless y'all
I have that same ice chest, except it holds beer better than water. I use 4 beers to 1 water. Ice chest seems to be much happier that way !!
This FWD maybe new to you but I first saw a FWD in 1947/8 when my dad had to do a rework on the tranmission to let it travrl at hiway speeds. It was a US Tank carrier, I was an apprenticed shortly afterward. Later I was able to purchase a 1914 X army FWD and I owned it for some 30 years until I had to move house I sold it to the Australian War Memorial in Canberra where it is now on display. A great solid vehicle manufacturay. More history I can send to you if you would like it. Thanks for the memories. Carl, Woy Woy Australia.
Great job God bless
Love hearing them old engine's purr
Back years I worked in a wrecking company. The oldest wrecker was a FWD, former military wrecker. Had a Detroit, no turbo and winches front and rear. When the modern wreckers had to give in on a job the FWD was brought back to life and it never failed to do the job. Normaly it would take for ever to get to the accident 'cause the beast was far from fast on the road. But it never failed us!
Boy what a sweet old rig! Sounded so good when she roared to life and that turbo started whining.. love to get this one back into action! 😁👍🇦🇺
Glad you and Wiley got it going that screaming demon shore did sound good thanks guys
Great job guys‼️ Love the channel. 💥💯
That ole girl started up real nice 😉. Thanks 👍 for sharing.
I bet that’s the best treatment you and Wiley have ever had, mowed grass, fan and great conversation with frank
What a sweet sound.
I put a 2-53 Detroit on my 10 bandit chipper and it's a beast for being from the sixties and only 2 cylinders. Found the chipper in a field with a locked up motor so found the cheapest motor I could find and it's been kicking butt for 2yrs now.
Great video you guys! Always fun watching you start those old engines. *Keep on tractoring!*
Yes !!! I remember we had those FWD's when I hired into SCE. 1981. We also had a 1948 International which was our wire pulling truck for when I was building tower lines.
Great will it start video thanks Hank and Wylie
You goofed, Hank. That’s an alternator, not a starter. LOL!
My hometown here in Norway had several FWD trucks here from 1918 to the 60s, including a firetruck. There was also some with normal bed.
awesome Job guys take care and God bless 🙏🙏
That sounded pretty good!
Hi hank from west Alabama
Too easy. Glad to see you and your Dad getting along better.
😂
The third lever is for a power take off I believe.
I was thinking it was for the transfer case as they were all four or six wheel drive, but you may be right about the PTO.
My first time watching any of your videos. Love it. The first thing that I would have to do to any old engine or anything else would be to doctor the wasp stings.
It's a blessing and a curse having a good amount of tools, speend so much frustrating time chasing tools you know you have.
FWD used to be the Badger FWD company. They made the first fwd car in 1908. Still around as it was at a Wisconsin car show a few years ago. They were a major supplier of WW1 trucks. Last I knew there was one of their early trucks at the Walcott I80 truck museum at the truck stop. Some of the original guys had a management dispute, they left and formed Oshkosh.
FWD pioneered the 4 wheel drive, Oshkosh stole there engineering & put FWD out.
I really love that fan. We have 3 in the family. Mine is blowing air conditioner towards me now.
god i love the sound of detroits makes me think back to my FD days most of our trucks at the time had 6v and 8v units
I remember back in early seventies Graves Truck Lines had these an ran them as city pick up trucks. Brings back memories also that 671 was an easy start they are usually a bear to get primed after sitting. They don't make great sounding underpowered motors like the old 2 stroke Detroit Great will it start 👍👍
I was going to say the same, I drove a 78 White Road Boss with a 318 Detroit in it years ago. Everybody loves the sound of a Detroit but they were dogs for the most part. Loud and underpowered.
it sounds great
Great video guys!, thanks for posting! Another like!…👍🏼
Nice easy one cant beat an old Detroit ,and only one Dad joke Hank your slipping look on Wileys face is priceless Kym Adelaide
I have driven a transit mix truck that was a fwd.thanks 😊
sounds strong and good
Well done👌👌👌
Reminds me of the old Oshkosh 6wd trucks.. I used to work for a company that had one they used for a concrete truck and the other was a boom truck used for delivering and setting septic tanks..
Good Evening Gentlemen , it is 6:17 pm on 9/5/23 here in AZ, have a great day today and be safe !
I grew up across the street from a cement block factory in central Florida...in the 60's and early 70's they used only FWDs to haul the finished blocks; they were equipped with air starts. every morning those air starters would wake me up. After my tour in the Navy I went to work in Oregon in the late 80s and in the Logging business and they had tons of FWDs...very strong and tough.
Im ole fla boy to saw lot of ole orange ready mix trks in ormond bch run ole fwd they got in and out in the sand cause Detroit's were lower power than trks with bigger engines we ran lot of dump truck with Detroit in them
Great video, I did see something I'd like to have and that was the grasshopper lawnmower that y'all walked by. Keep up the great videos
Another Great video guys, You rock Detroit City style.
Hank and wiley that was an amazing video 😊
Another great video! Never seen a turbocharged 6-71 before!
6-71T 300hp
🎉 thanks for the video guys preciate it🎉...JJ.. Jonjon...😊
Haven't seen one of those old girls in a minute! I was a Detroit Tech for the Navy back in the day and I drove one of these around constantly at the CB Base. They had a couple of them, 6x6 with a stake body, 6-71 Screamer is one of my Detroit favorites.
I have a 1959 FWD 4-yard dump truck, it's equipped with a 5 speed transmission and a 2 speed transfer box. The engine is a straight six gas International Harvester. I load it with a skid steer but the bucket barely makes it over the side of the bed!
Like an old Detroit
There's one of these near my mother's house that's a cement truck. I can hear it coming from a mile away. There's also a few around the marinas for moving the larger boats around. Tons of Detroits still around, in trucks, construction equipment, and in boats too.
Good 👍🏻 job
Amazing
Thanks.
Runs like it just came off the line. These were great motors.
Nice engine surprised it started so easy on 1 battery. One of the easiest starts for a while.
Won't start that easy any more if this guy gets it. You never let air in the fuel system on purpose just to shut it down. Hard to watch that part and the waisted giant zip tie.
Great job
Love Detroits. That pull handle above the key could be the engine shut down. Many of the Detroits I operate have a physical pull for shutting of the fuel.
The town of Washington New Hampshire had one ,FWD, in the late fifties. Used it for road work and snow plowing.
I owned a F W D road maintenance unit. It had a 6cyl gas eng. was all wheel drive dump truck with a road grader style blade mounted under the chassis.
Hank, you and Wiley are makin these will start videos look to easy. Of course, that's what professionals do awesome video buddy 👍
Thanks 👍
Old 238 detroit sounds great
Gm engineering still going strong!
HO-LEY-COW GUYS, THAT WAS A GREAT SHOW. I HAVE-TA ADMIT I STOPPED THE VIDEO TO LOOK UP F W D FIRST TO SEE WHAT A WHOLE TRUCK LOOKED LIKE. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VEHICLE! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' BOUT... YOU GOT-ER GOIN', THAT'S GREAT! WOW, THAT TRUCK WHOLE, WOULD MAKE ME A SUPERSTAR HERE IN CREEL CHIHUAHUA, MEXICO!!! IF I EVER FIND ONE IN GOOD SHAPE, I'M GONNA CALL IT, " DON'T BECOME WILEY HANK " OR SOMETHIN' LIKE THAT... WOW NOTHIN' BETTER THAN A F.W.D. ESPECIALLY HERE, IT'S ALL ABOUT F.W.D. STAY COOL, ALWAYS... PEACE...
Man, that thing sounds sweet! Sitting for know how long and it lights up as if parked yesterday- I didn´t even see starter can and on one battery- I can see now why the guy hung on to this half of the truck. When the chassis is too far gone at least You get a decent engine. Merry Christmas, Guys!
Got one aross the street with winch truck flatbed still runs wich works 2 ton FWD
Smooth running Detroit
Thanks!
You bet! Thank you sir
Hey buddy good luck be safe watch out for bees an snake
Die schönen Bagerlader rosten vor sich hin, da blutet mein ❤
When I was a teenager, I worked at a wrecking yard here in east Texas where i live. We had one of those trucks that had been rolled. They sold it to a company down at Houston. They cut the top off and drove it from the Texas Louisiana border to Houston.
You 2 are a mess!! God Bless y'all and stay safe!! Great job and video Hank!!
build a frame for this sucker it wants to live! dint want to stop running either such a happy machine i love the sound of two stroke detroit diesels!
Good to check that rack I also when fooling with two stokers is a have a large CO2 fire extinguisher to just in case shoot into the air intake to kill it with out damage .
i had to pick up my Timberland 6" Pitboss because those Georgia boots you have on are super close in design and construction. i may have to look into trying a pair out since the ones i have seem to be getting phased out. if they're anywhere near as comfortable as these then hell!
Fwd was popular in the north east for cement mixers,snow plow trucks and truck mounted cranes
Our county road commission (Delta county, Michigan) uses all FWD trucks for snow removal.
I love seeing behind the scenes :-) can we watch you eat with Wiley LOL 🙂
Delco remy is the alternator Hank lol😊
I saw a Miller Roughneck welder/generator at 12:59. The rack was free, but you didn't check the injectors. Use a hammer and punch to tap(lightly)the top of the injector. If it's free, you'll see the spring move and the sound is definitely different. Stuck injector will sound pretty much the same as placing the punch on the head and hitting it with a hammer.
OMG wiley wow hit hard with the first one
Lots of then out west. Was a mainstay for snow removel
Worked on quit a few of those 671 GM generators, all of them in Telco offices, good old engines.
Plenty of FWD and CCC trucks in Texas and New Mexico. Mostly used in the oilfield.
Back in the early 80s the city of Nashua NH used to still plow snow with fwd trucks
hi ! Wally y're the best inginer u Always do good job . i wish the best of the best
You need to be putting vice grips on all those racks on any Detroit you try and start!!!
The reason I think the frame was cut is for the wrecking yard guys to get the rear axle assembly out of the truck fast and keep the set together for easy stacking and handling in the yard to wait for sale or bring into shop for rebuilding and then sale. That’s how I used to do it. In my area if the country - Pacific Northwest you’ll see truck wrecking yards with rear axle assemblies - with the rear frame all in one piece stacked 4 high or more sitting out in the yard. They will not pull everything apart till they are ready for them. Then they will strip the differentials down and separate the axles , hubs , and third members. Then rebuild the third members for sale as a replacement drop in unit. In most cases they are after the third member, that’s where the value is in a rear axle assembly for a wrecking yard.
