Thanks for checking in and enjoying the project. Yes, I did have to fabricate and/or machine many of the parts to fit this mismatched bunch of stuff into one vehicle. I am on the way to Montana late this week to continue work on the Cat dozers and will be posting videos on progress there soon. All the Best, Jeff

Thanks for checking in. I drove that same truck many times when it was only a few years old. There were 3 1970 W900s in the fleet and they were even worse. Get the frame wracked a little bit on some uneven ground and it could be a minor battle to get the door open. The truck was originally owned by Fedderly-Marion Freightlines in Bellevue WA where I drove for 11 years.

Thank You for checking in. I made the video to sell the bike as I was in my mid 70s and the traffic here was getting insane. I am so glad you enjoyed it. Jeff

Thanks for checking in and letting me know the video was helpful. Did you find videos 2 and 3? Jeff

Glad you liked it. I much enjoyed the KWs before the W-900 came out. Much more comfortable to drive. Jeff

Thanks for checking in. I will be doing a video about why I hate W900s soon. I spent thousands of hours in them and was pissed-off every minute. Pete cabs were far more comfortable, even Freightliners were batter. Lots of complaints on the way. Stay tuned. Jeff

Thanks for checking in. It's great to know some of these videos are appreciated. Jeff

Thanks for sharing my feelings - exactly! Jeff

Thanks for checking in. The pump turned out fine, after some worrisome moments. PT fuel systems are nearly bulletproof. Jeff

Glad to know there is another one around. I will forward your comment to the proud owner. Jeff

Thanks for your kind comments on my previous truck. I restored it from a rust bucket in the late 1990s. There were at least 4 donor trucks and the only things that remained of the original were the frame, front axle, steering gear and the serial number. Check out my 1947 Federal build nearing completion. 4 videos on my UA-cam channel: youtube.com/@oldiron Paste that in your address box in your browser - NOT in the search box, and you will find them. All the Best! Jeff

Thanks for checking in. Did you see all 3 mag videos? They are on my UA-cam site at "youtube.com/@oldiron" along with old Cat rescue clips. Paste that in the web address box - Not in the search box, and you will go straight to it. All the Best. Jeff

Great to hear from another Federal owner! Bob's Speedometer in Howell Michigan: www.bobsspeedometer.com did the work. Hold onto your chair - instrument restoration is NOT cheap. I have posted 3 Federal videos so far on my youtube site at "UA-cam.com/@oldiron". Best of luck on your project. Jeff

@Oldiron thanks so much for that info I seen yours on the video looks good

@@Oldiron I hope not more than a grand but I'll see what happens

@@leonhenson8348 I will be posting a video on polishing aluminum. I had to go to UA-cam U to figure it out so I could polish the bumpers and front fenders. Stay tuned. Jeff

Thanks for checking in to my site. I ever owned that Cadillac. It belonged to a customer who had a couple dozen classics and I repaired and maintained them for him. He decided to pare off some of his vehicles and had me market them on eBay. The video link was pasted in the ad. The car went for $60,000 and ended up in Switzerland. Jeff

I'm very glad I made the 3 videos. I had to sort of stumble into magneto tech myself. Once I had enough information and went through 3 of them, it just made sense to put it out there for others. Jeff

Thank You, Sir. I would not have it any other way. God Bless. Jeff

I am of the same mind. Thanks for checking in. Jeff

See if it will jump a spark 1/8". If not check coil primary resistance of minimum 6200 ohms. Clean and set points to .014 - .018". Condenser .29 - .33 mfd. Standard Magneto has parts list online. Jeff

The magneto I did in the video was from a D6, If you need parts, Standard Magneto in the Chicago area has most of them available. Cat used other brands than American Bosch, so you may find something else on yours. Jeff

Glad you found it useful. Thanks for checking in. More Cat & truck videos coming soon. Jeff

Thanks for checking in and enjoying the videos. Would love to ask you to subscribe as I am doing more on similar subjects. Jeff

That Jeff, he’s a salty old wrench. He tells it how it really is. Great videos on the MJK mags!

Thanks so much for checking in. Glad you enjoyed the video. 2 and 3 are now up. Jeff

Great to hear you checked in and enjoyed the video. I am trying to make and post the next two yet today as I am out of town for a few days starting Monday. I'll get a move on for you guys. Jeff

Glad you enjoyed it. I hope it finds its way to others who have magneto questions or issues. Follow-up videos coming soon to finish the presentation. Jeff

Thanks for checking in on the bike. Hope you have a few moments to peruse a few of the other videos on the site. youtube.com/@oldiron

Muchas gracias! No hablo Espanol. Electric starters came in the 1950s. Fluffy was made in about 1940.

I do not recall any noticeable defects, but the right lighting angle may have shown something. The only issue that showed was a slight misalignment where the hood sat on the cowl. This was pointed out in the eBay ad. The car ended up in France. Jeff

@@Oldiron Lucky buyer then.

Thanks 👍It did run like a Swiss watch. Jeff

Wish I could have driven it for you. I just do not fit in Model A TuDoors or pickups. I hopped-up a '30 coupe 4 banger and had to have an upholstery outfit cut two coils out of the seat springs. Jeff

The six cylinder Packards were called the 115 series, and came along in 1936 or '37 to market an entry level Packard. The 237 cu in engine was so tough that White Motor Truck Co. put thousands into their lighter trucks and tractors. White used the post war 245 cu in engine as well.

@@Oldiron According to the sales/advertising brochure that was in our Packard, our model was called a 'Packard Six` I believe it was to introduce the 6 cylinder in-line engines of that model.. It also had a manual three speed transmission and floor shifter ( as your model One-Twenty has..)

I had a lot of experiences with Red 450 and 501 engines over the years. They are great, but they do not appreciate being pushed down hill. Don't let the truck wind it up beyond about 2,200 RPM on downgrades and you will be in the clear. Jeff

It is a D318 as near as I can tell from the specs. It is left hand rotation, though, which kinda surprised me. Jeff

It owed me big time after all the heartburn it dished out getting it to run.

Thanks everybody for checking in! Just having a bit of fun and sharing. Right you are, a football would probably fit. Jeff
