Below is an article I found with 6BT HP/TQ ratings from Cummins. The 6BT in my bobbed deuce is a B5.9-190.

Model Max. Power Max. revs Max. Torque
B130 130 hp 2500 rpm 470 Nm @ 1500 rpm
B135 135 hp 2500 rpm 480 Nm @ 1500 rpm 4 cylinder
B145...
My 6BT is completely stock from a fueling standpoint. The extra 170 lb-ft of torque with the 6BT is very noticeable compared to the multifuel.
Below is a link to a comparison chart of my original M35A2 vs after bobbing it (including engine comparisons).

I'm not sure if you read my response to the conversation you started with me, so I'll post my reply here.
My 6BT came out of a Peterbuilt chassis that was under a Thomas built bus. It was engineered for 30,000 lb GVWR. Not sure on what clutch you would have to use as my Cummins is mated to an...
With all the gear on my bobbed deuce it still weighs 13,040 lb on the certified scales at work. The (5) 53" tires and tool box with recovery gear bring the weight back that was lost from cutting off about 3 ft of frame length and removing the back axle setup. I never looked into the weight...
My receipt from a local starter shop indicates my 6BT with AT545 starter as part # 6582N. This replacement starter was installed in March of 2017 after the great flood of 2016 in Louisiana killed my original starter. My starter is bolted up on the passenger side of the bellhousing.

Yes sir, I'm very happy with my Warn winch so far. I've used it for a few gardening demo jobs, and I pulled a few vehicles out with it too. I highly recommend it if you can't run a PTO winch. When I repowered with the Cummins 6BT and AT545, the PTO on the Allison tranny is on the wrong side...
On 12/04/22 I removed a few small logs from my mom's pond per her request. I borrowed skidding tongs from my buddy John. Easy work for me and the 24v 18,000 lb rated Warn electric winch mounted on my bobbed deuce.

Still trying to sneak out a win for my first ever SS MV of the Month here. I appreciate the votes thus far!
Below are (2) timeslips from where I took my bobber to the dragstrip. Bet I got fuzzytoaster beat. LOL.
Definitely is the Twin Peaks in Baton Rouge off Siegen Lane. I can guess with almost 100% certainty that none of those females are still there. The pics were taken in 2015, and they were all "getting a college degree". I bet they are all doctors now. LOL.
I'm up for a MV takeover of Twin...
Here's a few more pics as requested. No sun tan lotion bottles were harmed in the process.
Just a few more votes in my favor and we will surpass the fuzzy little kitchen appliance.
I purchased my M35A2 in March 2011 from a member on this site that lived in Georgia. It had already been singled out and the hubs were flipped.
From 2011 to 2016, I modified this M35A2 to my liking. I bobbed it back in 2012 with sky crane help from local member Tim.

I'm not sure if it will help in this case, but I was able to ditch the fuel shut down solenoid on my Cummins 6BT by flipping the bracket 180 degrees and use a push-pull cable into the cab of my bobbed deuce...
I'm glad you were able to put that fire out and save your deuce. I don't have that flame heater on my Cummins 6BT swap. No grid heater either.
A rechargeable 10 lb ABC fire extinguisher can be purchased at Lowe's for $80 + tax. I have one in each vehicle, and a few in my house / shop. It's...
I have both 12V and 24V systems in my bobbed deuce with a Cummins 6BT engine. I kept all of the factory 24V items in tact, and I only needed 12V for things like the A/C system, Autometer gauges, USB chargers, and fan clutch. A good Vanner equalizer will take care of any 12V needs.

Here's my hydroboost install page:
https://www.hanksdeuce.com/hydroboost_install.htm
The high pressure line from your power steering pump goes into the hydroboost unit. Then high pressure comes out and goes to the steering rack. Then you have (2) low pressure lines that tee back to the...
