      October 14, 2019 at 5:03 am Hi to you all. Just was told about a impeller installation tool sold by impellertool.com. Guy said it was the bomb for install. Have not priced it yet but wonder if anyone has ever ordered and used this prior to me diving in. Cummins 6BT 5.9M. Sherwood 10615 impeller, key style. Thanks, John

      October 21, 2019 at 10:01 am I bit the bullet and bought the impellertool.com last year after wrestling with my port engine impeller (really difficult access = no leverage). Like everyone, I’ve tried hose clamps, zip ties, lube, and brute force… yeah, that works, but I always lost some skin on my knuckles and created a few new combinations of cuss words! Only caution is that it still takes a little effort to hold the impeller in place on the shaft as you pull th…

    • 6bt high mount turbo question

      This topic has 2 replies, has 3 voices, and was last updated byMichael Starr 5 years ago

      April 13, 2019 at 3:28 pm I have a 6bt with dry stack exhaust (mounted belt-end forward) and am about to redo my exhaust piping. I’d like to move my turbo to the high mount location, which would give me a straight shot aft to where the exhaust joins the muffler piping, but this would require the air filter side of the turbo to be forward. My question is can the turbo be mounted in that orientation? All the pictures I see have the exhaust side on the belt end of th…

    • water take off from SMX 1730 pump

      June 5, 2018 at 12:27 pm Engine is 6BT 210. I recently replaced the trans cooler with one that has the two zincs. The cooler that came with the engine only had one small outlet that was used to supply the dripless shaft seal with cooling water. The new unit has openings for the two zincs. I wanted to keep the two zincs in the tube so I was looking for another location to get water to cool the shaft bearing. I found two plugs on either side of the SMX impeller cover. I …
