Somebody needs to put this in a truck, C-18 with "the twins". This is the power plant in our Bandit chipper and she's a BAD B!TCH!!!!

700hp?
Looks like someone painted it the wrong color

Have fun keeping those spooled up at the rpm a truck engine operates at, what rpms do you run it at when your chipping.

At least 700, anything under would have been singled.

Looks like someone tried to freshen the paint with some off brand construction yellow.

Just curious if one could be setup to have a manual lockup, and how much abuse can one of them take. Would it hold up behind a 700hp big cam.

Also what is the deal with the ratio that is associated with the torque converter.

Off the top of my head I'm not certain about the lockup clutch. I have schematics at home still I'm pretty sure. But I'm 16 days out. That's a tough tranny for sure though. I dealt specifically with off-road and industrial applications. Ive personally considered swapping an HT750 into my cabover.

The torque converters IIRC have a particular part number for a particular ratio of torque multiplication.

Thanks a bunch, I was curios about lockup because if this does happen to be a 750 instead of a 754 it has a second gear start and that happens to be a perfect gear for my puller, if I could control the lockup I think it would be a very neat setup to try infront of a sled.

Do you remeber off the top of your head where the model ID would have been on the case?
 
There is an Allison metal tag of the side of the case. Riveted i think. The 749 was in lots of highway coaches. MCI greyhounds. 4 speed pretty basic. The deep reduction version, I don't remember the model, 752-754, bull low for off-road hauling. 755 is the newer electronic valve body. I'd use that one too. Or 750.

The local pulling truck. Big red is a 1966 kW. He uses a highly modified mt653. Puts a couple thousand horsepower through it. I wouldn't suggest one that small though.
 
It is for sure a 700 series, the pictures I found while doing some searches confirms that, just not sure what the number is. It was behind a big cam in an international, but I am not sure what year the truck was.

I think the computer is set for 2,130. When under a load, even when you stuff a big oak tree in there, I think the lowest I've seen it drop to was somewhere in the 1,600 range.

Ive only seen the 700hp industrial. I didn't know how far up that config can go.

Being a big liter industrial it should be white.

The only modern engines I hve seen that are white are ther high performance marine engines, everything else is yellow including the marine engines for commercial use. I don't think CAT has used white outside the boats since the mid 80's when they were painting KW and Peterbilt engines white.
 
I changed an Allison out from behind a 900 hp c18 on a drilling rig deck engine before. Also the c18 in a cat 24M grader is around 950 hp.

3.55 rears on lowpro 22.5's and an 18 over......bad combo for speed, at that RPM my white Pete would have been rolling 90+ as well

I couldn't have said 2.5" would make that big a difference but apparently it does. I'm running 3.55 with lopro 24.5.

Use enough of it to have in my box.

I actually like it more than the yellow

While the 24M is a big bastard the C18 in it is only listed at 533hp. It seems that the equipment engines are never really rated as high as the plain industrial engines, take the D10 dozer, at 610hp it could have a C15 or a C18 in it yet they choose to use a C27.
 
No that's not the true in the D10s and D11s and 24hs that I work on. Although it has to do with duty cycle. 1000hp at 100% duty cycle or 1000hp at 60% duty cycle. Which will last longer right.

The c32 in the D11T is rated around 1500hp. The c27 in the D10T is around 1100. The c18 in the 24M is around 950.

I'll be back at work tonight, I'll verify. But that's what I remember the tags reading.
