Nathan and Andy 8.1L
This is an 8.1L with and electronically controlled "P" pump. This is the first time this engine has been apart at school. It is an experimental engine that must have been used for endurance testing because it was dirty inside. After many trips to the wash rack and parts washer it lives again.It is good they picked this engine or they may have been upset with the instructors.
Devin and Jacob 7.6L
This is the famous "666" engine. This is the 17th year that I have seen this one run and it ran a few times before I got there. It has a bent crankshaft so it can be used as class discussion during the assembly process.

Arley and Jeremiah 10.5L
Arley and Jeremiah did the 10.5L engine this year. We use the same controller to run the 10.5L and the 12.5L. It has a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) throttle control.

Nathan 6.8L
This engine has been around for a long time but it hasn't been apart for several years. I actually is a 414 Cu. In. engine with a rotary distributor pump. It is an experimental engine so it has a few unusual parts in it.

Jake and Joseph 7.6L
Jake and Joseph rebuilt a 7.6L engine with a mechanical inline pump. I looks like it may be getting plenty of fuel.

Jim and Caleb 6.8L
Jim and Caleb had a 4-valve 6.8L HPCR combine engine. We used the controls from the R450 windrower to get this one running.

Corey and Matt 7.6L
Corey and Matt had the 7.6L engine with the mechanical "P" pump. It seems to be getting enough fuel.

Jed and Judd 9.0L
Jed and Judd also had a 9.0L Tier 3 engine. There are 3 of these engines at school and all of them run now. I think he is checking the timing with his phone.

Kynzee and Chris 8.1L
Kynzee and Chris had an 8.1L with and inline Bosch electronically controlled pump. It has a combine controller so you get two speeds low and high idle.

Jason and Brandon 9.0L
Jason and Brandon fired this 9.0L for the first time ever. It came to us with many parts loose and hadn't been started before. The bolts are all tight and it runs now but it looks like we are missing an air intake hose.

Foster and Taylor 9.0L
Foster and Taylor had a 9.0 L Tier 3 engine. We are still working on RPM for this one but it does have a VGT so the turbo will sing if prompted to do so.

Mat and Jeff 8.1L
Mat and Jeff had the 3rd 8.1L HPCR to fire up. We had to replace one injector with a used one. You can hear it was a little stuck and then it started working with a puff of smoke.

Luke and Collyn 12.5L
Luke and Collyn disassembled the 12.5 L this year. This is the biggest engine that we had apart so it requires a little more overhead hoist work.

Jack and Dan 8.1L
Jack and Dan managed to be the first to fire this year with an 8.1 L common rail engine. A little fine turning and it was up and running in no time!
