Hey Swish

this might be a dumb question but why do you have an air starter on the KW, and why do most modern trucks still have them like KW road trains that run to the middle of no where?

i have seen a fee picks where KW's that run real ruff stuff have them on, and some that run on the ruff stuff have batterys, do the bats fall apart or just give up the ghost unexpectedly

Nice lot of picks you have there swish, i have been through your site before and your S900 site, that's some history you have there. what happened to all the B Models and all the old trucks that you use to have, are they rotting away? or are they being re-loved again? Nice to see you showing dingo how to use a camera, he could learn a thing or two of the Swish man. ;)

thanks Monty ;)

The main reason for AIR Starters to be fitted is reliability, there is always extra air pressure, in ANY tyres, if you ever need it.

Batteries DO sh!t themselves, at the worst possible times and when you least expect it, bloody Murphy's law in action again.

no dumb Q:
but U might get a dumb A:

As Greenie sez : easy to get air from tyre or other truck for air start than try n get a good boost for electric start
Haven said th@ I have used a car to charge a KW batteries to start the beast



KW have electric start as standard ifn U want air start it'll cost U
Mack had air start as standard Ifn U want Electric start it'll cost U

LOL

the Ol 'B' Model Macks we ran all had air startn n ever any problems
the early KW S925 had Electric start
they had 4 of 6v batteries
thay also had 12 v lights n everthing else
cept starting it twaz 24v
they hada series parallel switch th@ produced 12 V from the 4 6V batteries n via the series parallel swith

we also ran our own personel 2 way radio (the early 2 ways were old technolegy by 2 days standards Valves) n they were heavy on batteries
we had 4 'S' model Kenworths n kept the local auto electrician very happy with our electric problems
so from there on we ordered KW with air start n usually run discarded batteries from our cars th@ have auto transmissions
the CH Mack is electric start with 3 of 12v batteries
so when a battery is gettin alittle stale we replace with new battery n the ol battery goes to one of the air start trucks

By today standards me thinks 12v electrics would B the way to go as air start motors R 3 times xpensive to do up or replace compared to electric
