The 6V-92TA is 9 liters so a little large than the 8.3 Cummins. Also has over 1000 ft lbs of torque and gets it at a lower rpm. Firing each stroke make it sound like high rpm but it's not. No sweet spot for cruising as all RPMs are glass smooth. Pierce[/quote]Quote from: stump – December 28, 2016, 01:20:37 pmMine is as smooth as a Swiss watchMine reminds me of a Heidleberg Windmill Platen Press. The best letterpress ever made. German engineering at it's finest. Pure mechanical genius like a Linotype. A true work of art in steel. I have one and in many ways it's still the best press I have ever owned. I used to have a Linotype also. I still use the Windmill....over 50 years old, no plastics parts, very little maintenance, millions of impressions, and the only press I can walk away from while it's running! Joe Fleming (Deceased) who I bought this shop from told me he went to school to learn how to set lead type on the Linotype. He was a craftsman on both.

Re: Advice on high-end coaches Reply #52 – January 03, 2017, 01:09:24 am I would have never made it in the printing business. The computer with spell check has given me a fresh start. I rarely make a mistake in German but English is really hard for me. LOVE the spell check at the bottom of this page. I had a friend I worked with for years in the fire dept. After we both retired, he told me he could not read the entire time on the job. He made a lateral transfer from another city job and never took a promotional exam. His new girlfriend discovered he was dyslexic and taught him how to read. Can't keep a book out of his hands now. Guess you would have fired both of us! Nice post Jerry!Pierce Quote Selected 1 Likes
