    Who ever came up with that air driven wiper motor was very talented.
    That looks like a head scratcher to get apart and then rebuild and reassemble.
    Awesome job Jake.

      I was quite impressed and the amount of times that would have gone back and forth there was very little wear at all. I wasn’t doing much talking because I was trying to figure out how it all worked😂

      @ yeah I knew that. Got more patience than Some. Couple of times there I thought it was going for a flying lesson across the workshop or get threatened with the 20lb sledgehammer😂😂😂😂

      @@dieseldownunder. you will get there. Just need to collect more and then get another couple of yard clean up jobs where sheds have to be removed and then you can extend your yard and put them up for storing all the toys and KWs.
      Look forward to when you decide to put the next instalment out.

    Hi from the Aussie who lives and works in France, hey great little video,always wondered how those air wind-screen wipers worked,now i know.Don't those old bangers just look "magnifique" .......
    You know over here there are no more old trucks,no more old timers,not many drivers here have known a manual gearbox,imust admit after so many years driving this European gear i'd be a bit lost going back to a 13speed coupled to a 6V92TTA,heaven forbid if it was a quad box....as i'm a company driver, i'm not even allowed to change a lightglobe,i got told off the other day for putting air in a flattish tyre,apparently it's not my job (can you believe that ?),yeah times have changed,i was informed the other day that i've gone from 9.8 to 9.5 !!!!!!!,driver performance stuff,i invited the guy to join me at 3am so as that he could show me what i'm doing wrong but low and behold he's not allowed to start work before 9am...dunno is it me or something just aint right ? Love you chanel,have a great day.

    • @dieseldownunder.
      @dieseldownunder.  3 дні тому

      Hey mate thanks for tuning in again! It’s sad there’s no old school gear running around I imagine a lot of Europe would be the same in that respect.
      Haha I’m sure it would come back to you it would be like riding a bike once you know how it will always come back to you!
      Oh wow that’s ridiculous I encourage other drivers to check tyres and cary out tasks on their pre trips and every morning it helps drivers understand their truck a lot better! So that’s pretty ridiculous that they wouldn’t let you do that, and the driver score I wouldn’t even begin to understand that I’m sure I’d be lucky to get a 2 the way I go hahaha
      Cheers mate thanks for watching

    Gday Jake, bloody awesome turnout at the classic and I’m still pissed off I didn’t get there, if you need a driver for next year then yell out, seen a few local trucks there to mate, cheers

    • @dieseldownunder.
      @dieseldownunder.  3 дні тому +1

      Hey Matty, I’m sure next year will be even bigger and better so if you can get there next year I’m sure it will be worth it! Fingers crossed I’m driving my SAR up there so If that’s the case you’ll be able to tag along!

  • @Louie2309

    There is a company called Prime Composites on the Gold Coast rebuild air wipers and keep kits to do it yourself. Company in Melbourne called Speed Screen do them as well. 🔥

    • @dieseldownunder.
      @dieseldownunder.  3 дні тому +1

      Thanks mate I did try speed screen and they wanted me to send my motors to them and they would repair and send back, I wanted to fix them myself so I knew they were 100%. I didn’t know about the place on the Gold Coast so that’s great to know!
      Cheers

    • @Louie2309
      @Louie2309 3 дні тому +1

      Speed screen in Melbourne also sell new air wiper motors as well as kits. Air wipers are still in use a lot on trains.

    • @dieseldownunder.

    I’d also like to know the place you got the rebuild kit from. Part numbers too if possible. The truck unit on my White 9000 is beyond just a cleaning and new grease. I tried. I also know I need to rebuild my control valve as well. I couldn’t see the numbers on the bag good enough to get the part numbers. Thanks! Love the videos by the way.

    • @dieseldownunder.
      @dieseldownunder.  3 дні тому

      Hey mate I got everything from Rome truck parts in Rome GA USA. Send me an email at info@dieseldownunder.net and I will foreward you the part numbers and the parts schematic. There is a number of different wiper motors so you will have to verify that they are the same as what I purchased as I’m not familiar with the wiper motors on the 9000

    • @dieseldownunder.
      @dieseldownunder.  3 дні тому

      Hey mate, once the wiper motors are rebuilt they function perfectly again! And in my option you just can’t beat the sound of them it takes away from the character of the truck if they weren’t air, I personally love them!
