RTS II being scraped has running 6v92

[ArtGill]

I found an RTS II in a scrape yard near Havelock, NC (Coastal NC).  They said the engine was running when it came in.  It has a 6v92 that is mechanical, no ECM.  The scrape yard name is "Foss" and you should be able to get an telephone number from information.  There are a number of Foss locations in Eastern NC, so you need the one in Havelock on Lake Road.  I have no interest in Foss, but I may get the starter if no one gets the engine.

Most likely the starter on the RTS with 6V-92TA is a left hand starter if it is using the V730 transmission.  Even though Allison did make a reverser gear V730R, I've never heard of one used with a 6V-92TA since they were easily reversed.  The reverser gear was used with 4 stroke engines like the Cummins ISC, ISL and ISM (L10, M11 too).  I wouldn't waste my time on trying to pull the starter.
Personally-starters just don't go out that often.  In my entire 21 year trucking career, I think a had two on my first, and only on my second starter on my current truck.  I wouldn't sacrifice the space nor the extra weight of carrying around an extra starter.  Good Luck, TomC

Songman's RTS had a right hand 6v92  I saw those before his fwiw

Art, if you happen to go back, would you please check for a V730 (3 speed, Neutral, Reverse) manual shift tower?  I need one for the V730 we're putting in the 4107 -- I'd rather go manual than an electric Stone-Bennett.

Thanks.

Songman's RTS did have a right 6V-92TA but also had a ZF transmission.  Good Luck, TomC

yea I knew Dale had a ZF so what is the point the RTS can have the V730R so do other bus manufactures I have parts books that show other manufactures did the same ZF or V730R guess it was done that way because when a order came for different engines like the LNG engines the transmission stayed the same


good luck
