Hi again. Last week I commented on milling the head of an engine 100 thousands, Thanksgiving is a tradition that as my best friend and his 2 boys and my son and I assemble at the camo in northern Maine for a turkey dinner. I have been doing this for about 25? years or so. I am 82 and he is 81. Old flathead Ford "roundy rounders". We discussed and remembered some of our the cars/trucks of our misspent youths and he seemed to remember that was more/less the amount we took off. At that time we were at a local friends machine shop milling a set of Canadian 59A Ford heads for the race car. We used Canadian heads/block because of a higher nickel content. They lasted longer in a season. We agreed the truck was a1953. Again, let me comment on the quality of your site. Hope this info is helpful.
That cab was definitely ready for retirement. You'll be money and time ahead by getting another cab to swap. I have a S140, wrecker body, that needs a frame among other things. Found a clean one owner S150 that I'm going to put the S140 axle and transfercase in.
I have a hunch that those "puck" style bushings, if they're the center bonded type like the C-series used for its TC X-member with the NP-202, are probably made by Lord Corp. That style is still made to the same spec. Clean em up, see if they have part numbers on them around the edge. I emailed the company directly after pulling mine and they were able to provide a current part number, I emailed Jeff at IHPA with that an equivalent IH# and they took care of the rest.
Hello. Just a Quick comment on you truck. Many years ago (1969??) I bought a 3/4 ton International pick up that was wrecked in the front. Replaced the nose (front clip). and drove it around for for a daily driver. But it developed a noisy valve train and I pulled the head for repairs. Milled the head i think about 100 thousands as I remember and what a difference in torque. Don't remember many specs but the performance was very noticeable from the first start. Apparently the factory compression ratio was very low (1953?). Perhaps this is a good idea for your use. Great show.
Well, it does depend a bit on tire size. The ‘56 S-160 4x4 I drove cross country a couple years ago has 6.16:1 diffs and so I put 11:00-20s on it and averaged 55-60mph on the top end without over-rev. It behaves about the same as my 3/4 ton with 4.10:1 diffs and 9.00-16 tires. The M-5H-6 parked behind the R-170 in the video has 7.16:1 diffs. That beast is supposed to have a top speed of 46mph with 8.25-20 tires. I put 9.00-20 tires on it and I don’t know if I’ve ever cracked 40mph haha. While I’m thinking 6.16:1 with slightly oversize tires may be the magic number for these medium-duty beasts, I’d love to try the 5.38:1 diff ratio in this, any lower than that and it may be useless. Note: The transmission has an overdrive 5th on both the R-170 and M-5H-6.
If the breaks on the transfer case mounts were solid and not "broken" the rubber puck wouldn't be effective from what I can see. I bet it was originally mounted to the empty tabs farther back. Damn cool non the less.
Yeah, I’ve reached out to Coleman owners who I know have Model 40 transfer cases for some clarification! It’s an non-conventional setup whatever it ends up being.
Cool, video. My Brother has a 67' 1100, i think, 2wd step side. He want's to put an OEM fuel tank back in it. You have any idea where he could find one? Keep on saving them, good work.
Man, I don’t know that anyone is making them. Best bet is to find a decent original and that can be tough. Junkyards, marketplace, part truck, etc. You may try a wanted post on a FB International page for fuel tank.
oh joy just like johnny sang one piaece at time get have the inside knowledge whats wrong winter projects oh joy i got few lot in area is what is lot people use current drive train like light duty commerical i get keep it original but when thier a tool i use them cheap current diesel cheap all steel works for me
Cool project I have an S130 I am working on. 1956.
Nice work with the teardown 🔧🔩
Sweet project brother! Can't wait to see it all together
Hey! Glad to see you’re on here, subscribed!
Man, great job! Can't believe you cleaned out that cab w/o a mask! UGH!
Or even gloves! I was editing the video and wondering what I was thinking!
Another interesting project

tHanks for the video. Loads of work getting this far along. Great job
Such a cool truck. Love the bed! Can’t wait to see the progress!

Cool old truck !!!!
There is an interesting TH-cam video showing how an older middle eastern craftsman fixed a similar engine block side hole.
If not you , someone can make use of that engine block and crank. Always enjoy your videos, Happy Thanksgiving Eric and the IH family.

I’ve never milled one that much, I’ll keep it in mind!
6.16:1
6.66:1
7.16:1
That's pretty amazing gears that low in anything all wheel drive for road use. Probably maxes out at 25 or 30 mph.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. The rubbers would flex and eventually break the other mounts.

What about a DT 350 or DT 466m would be more appropriate than a Cummings 12 valve. Don't know if you have the room for a powerstroke.
I have a 52, its currently getting a duramax. Sweet project dude
Wow
What kind of tractor is that? The one pulling the cab off?
The brand name is “SAME”. It’s Italian. They made really badass 4WD tractors.
7.3 PowerStroke would be a better choice than the boring cummins...
I'm mistaken
About what?
oh joy just like johnny sang one piaece at time get have the inside knowledge whats wrong winter projects oh joy i got few lot in area is what is lot people use current drive train like light duty commerical i get keep it original but when thier a tool i use them cheap current diesel cheap all steel works for me
Original, no Cummins!!!
What's up with the music playing while talking. Very irritating 😮
