I love the old binder trucks .my grandpa bought a new 1957 ihc A160 golden anniversary 2 ton 4x4 with the 6 cyl . for his oil testing company . Used it for a lot of years.we put a wench bed on it 15 years ago. Just put 6 new 900.20 nylon mud grips on it. Still has the same engine to this day runs strong. Were going on 4 generations of my family rideing in this truck. My boy is 6 and thinks it's the best thing ever
Jonathan I enjoy your videos. Drove a Scout with a souped up 392,4 speed for years. Also had a 73 Travelall. Those engines have hydraulic lifters. The Scout originally had a 196 4 cylinder engine. Thanks for saving the oldies !
Ahh, my lovely Cornbinders! As an ardent observer of your channel, I'm constantly perplexed that you've no feelings or affections for IHC gas engines? A retired DIESEL tech x3, I love the light through heavy diesels. I maintained a fleet of 27 school busses for 18 years, singlehandedly for the most part. Couldn't have done it with any other hood ornament. I drive an IHC 7.3, in a 96 Ford F250 at 263K on miles and still stroking. Appreciate your efforts to preserve the classics!
When I was a lad just starting out I ran into a lot of those old GM point sets, I haven't seen any for probably 40 years BUT I still have the flexible allen wrench I used to adjust the dwell on those
Sounds great ! I really like what you do buddy ! I have to say there isn't many people like you in this day in time you and your family are great people
My uncle was a locksmith and he took key blanks, put em in the lock, twisted the key back and forth with pliers and filed where there were marks with a little round file, kept it up untill the key worked. Pretty amazing to a kid like me way back in the day.
It can be picked open and rekeyed also. Back in the late 70's I took the National Institute of Locksmithing course when I left the auto repair trade and went into building maintenance. Too bad I live in Minnesota as I still have my rekey kit's.
He mainly did that for people who lost their keys. He also had big rings of keys which he could try until one worked to open doors where the keys were locked inside, or he would pick the lock instead. He had jimmy tools too, but didn't like using them. This was in the 1970's, things are probably much different now.
Hey Man, I finally got to set down and rest a bit and watched your video on this cool ol' truck. You sure do have a Lucky Streak go'in with them starting fairly easy. This is gonna be a Good truck for someone to fix up.
Nah you aren't cheap you just know the value of a dollar and dont like to waste money. Hey I know you got a wife and kids to take care of so you spend money in the right place. Thanks for making the videos
Imagine in 15-20 years, someone like Jonathan trying to start one of todays modern computer driven engines after sittin' that long... Lol... Nope. Another great start to another great save. That is one cool truck.
I love your techniques for getting these old girls started. I am looking to start saving oldies in my area since I have the land and time to do it now. Looking forward to more videos!
I love International Harvesters. There was a dealership near my house as a child. I remember wondering about the tractors and such we used to have in Los Angeles County.
Yeah ,, after seeing you're knowledge of engines in all your videos I believe it's a given you have checked all out before starting . Unfortunately there is always somebody who assumes otherwise cause they didn't see it . Carry on , it's a another great video the rest of us enjoy , thumbs up !!!!
love your videos man . Started following your son to . Great family with lots of knowledge . Your rat rod international would look cool painted as a A 1 Towing Shop truck .. Thanks for your videos
The younger boys who work and hang around have no idea what the value is worth for the teaching you are doing for them. I had a opportunity thru the years to work around people like you. I learned so much. The younger generation would not at all be interested in watching you. It is interesting for some of us to be able to watch and predict what is coming next. Thank you for taking the time to video all this adventures.
2 years ago i knew very little about internationals. tractors mostly. then i seen a pickup for sale. kb2. it was not used as a truck and condition is amazing. i cannot believe i own it. i did pay up for it. not cheap to me.5k. i now have a kb6 on a ton frame which it is it. i love that truck and i know i should not but i do. i have now bought 4 more internationals. i took one to mt shata from kansas 3 months ago. they are the best built trucks i have ever owned. yours are new compared to my year models.lol. thanks for video fun watch
We had a '57 2 ton International 2 speed rear end. 266 engine. Originally had a straight 6. When we got it, the fan had a bunch of shims to take up the space to the rad. I learned to drive that thing at a young age. Our 266 was timed off of #8 instead of #1. Check into that when you're setting the timing. As for your missing door window, check inside the door. That's where my dad found both of ours.
Love watching your stuff... it's so cool seeing old cars and trucks fire up. the technology was so simple if they had fuel and spark, chances are they'd fire up. up here in the Northeast, those motors would be seized up solid. can't wait till that motorcycle engine is cast..
Old IHC pickups rare now. Dodges and Studebaker's also. I had one of these when I was 14...we used to drive over pine trees in the woods. Solid old trucks. Rusted out bad up North here. Scouts cool also.
WOW, runs really smooth and sounds really healthy too. Congrats! Thanks a lot for making taping editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health.
Great to see all these old "Auto History On Wheels". Here in upstate/central NY the road salt has these for lunch. The only thing left you'll find, would be maybe 1/2 of the truck/car sitting above ground. The rest of the vehicle will be buried into the ground eaten by rust.
Hey Jonathon, I've watched a few of your videos now since they keep showing up on my recommended list. Good stuff you have here, so I am subscribing. I' a retired mechanic, well let's say retired, I stopped twisting wrenches in 1993, retired in 2016.
Hello Jonathan I know you're the kind of guy that could care less about what other people think and that's what I like about you as I told the guys with budget build the reason why I subscribe to people like you is because your no-nonsense trying to preserve vehicles on a budget not like a lot of the others and definitely not like some of the real idiots I've seen on TH-cam they tear stuff up and they are sponsored to do it they get paid to do it which I think is a real shame but I'm just letting you know that's why I subscribed to your channel because you are not an idiot sir you're one of the smartest mechanics that I've ever seen so thanks for your videos and good luck in the future
worked in a self storage yard in the early 90's had a 67 IH medium duty dump for a yard truck....4wd I think it was a 392 ....4spd was a beast no power steering....the damn wheel was almost as big as a hula hoop... lmao
I used t love the looks of a 61 Binder. Over and under headlights on a brand new school bus. Our bus driver would never get in 5 th gear. On our last day of school, she ( bus driver) put her in 5 th gear for 1 mile. We thought ( her kids)we were in Heaven. lol
I had a 1210 with a 345 that had 285+K miles on it. The cam bearings were so worn that the rear half of the valve train didn't get oil. I set up an drip oiling system thru the valve cover to lubricate the valves. Got another 8,000 miles out of it.
this is a truck i would be interested in owning. like you, i have a soft spot for internationals. i have way to many irons in the fire right now to add another project but this is a really nice truck. i dont have any real nice old ones....yet. although i have several.... 9670, s series, 2) 4700 and 4900, 8) 4300 and a 8600.
I wonder if the truck had a mechanical overhaul in the '90s when it saw service as a dump truck. It could be that the odometer was zeroed then because it had effectively a new engine, transmission and rear end. That used to be fairly common practice with commercial vehicles in the UK when they got a full overhaul, until it was outlawed. If the odometer is right then you might have a truck with virtually new mechanics under it. You were saying about the camshaft drive gears whining on those, I assume the gears are steel then, rather than the fibre gears that Ford used in their V4 and V6 (Essex) engines in Europe which is smart thinking, refinement wasn't a big consideration for trucks then, unlike cars, and those fibre gears have a nasty habit of stripping when they get old which wrecks the engine...
At high rpm, IHs oil returns can't keep up with the amount of oil that gets pumped up too. I've heard of them starving for oil if it's a little low at high rpm. The easy "fix" is to run it with an extra quart in it. But those long tubes welded on the valve covers could be to keep oil from sloshing out the breathers. I used a non vented oil fill cap and plumbed an extra vent line to the crank case vent.
Jerry McBride had a 392 in old international bus,it was alot more power than the 345 s in my dumptruck s,definitely like the 392 better, alot torqueier.
Nice to hear the old Cornbinder run again. I've been waiting for this. Looks like the right rear brake drum might be stuck. A couple of the Studebaker trucks I've rescued have had gear oil on the brake linings making them swell up and stick. Might just be some rust. Not many people have saved the medium size trucks. Hope this one gets a new life. Might make a classic service truck.......just thinkin'.
I feel you on the paperwork. New York is one of the worst places to try to get title to an old vehicle. Some states title back to 15 or 25 years. NY titles to 1973, regardless. What a pain.
I had a good feeling bout this one. The body is incredibly clean for a 1961 anything. Neat old truck.

I had a 1960 B-120 with the six cylinder and 3 on the tree. I loved that truck.
good to see those old trucks running I would prefer a old truck like that over any new one
I've never thought of putting rock's like that in a feeder,it gives the bee's something to stand on while they eat,great idea,thanks Mrs W.
Awesome old IH Truck, glad it fired up for you!👍
When I was a lad just starting out I ran into a lot of those old GM point sets, I haven't seen any for probably 40 years BUT I still have the flexible allen wrench I used to adjust the dwell on those
I too still have my flexible screwdriver/allen wrench and dwell meter for adjusting those. Even after 50+ years I still use it once in a while.
My son ate my flexible Allen wrench
Sounds great ! I really like what you do buddy ! I have to say there isn't many people like you in this day in time you and your family are great people

Pretty amazing to me now!! I have seen it done, may just have a key made for this one, Last one was $15.
That's called key impressioning.
+Jonathan W I would definitely not drill out the ignition lock cylinder if it's otherwise in ok condition. A locksmith can make a key no problem
It can be picked open and rekeyed also. Back in the late 70's I took the National Institute of Locksmithing course when I left the auto repair trade and went into building maintenance. Too bad I live in Minnesota as I still have my rekey kit's.

Always makes me smile to see the old girls come back. thanks for making the video's.
The old Internationals had such character, beautiful front end - grill, headlights, just so nice to look at.
Lots of fun,I was here in my chair saying COME OLD GIRL!!
And I was in my bed saying come on old girl 😂
Hey Man, I finally got to set down and rest a bit and watched your video on this cool ol' truck. You sure do have a Lucky Streak go'in with them starting fairly easy. This is gonna be a Good truck for someone to fix up.
Sounds like a decent runner, course them old cornbinder motors are pretty bulletproof. Nice old truck, its ready to work again!
Love your videos! Thanks for the time it takes to film and edit.
Thanks for taking the time to watch them!!!
Is that a V-304? If it is you're a lucky man. They are fabulous engins in a truck. A real torquer.
She's a beauty and remarkably clean for her age. Definitely be a fun project truck.
great video I love the late 50s early 60s trucks! love the first start, old start, and colds starts! hope to c this truck more! take care!
I agree with you! I love those too!
Its another runner. You did it again without even adding any new parts Amazing. Saved another great work
I'm cheap!! LOL
Nah you aren't cheap you just know the value of a dollar and dont like to waste money. Hey I know you got a wife and kids to take care of so you spend money in the right place. Thanks for making the videos
Being cheap is no sin Jon! Warren Buffet took Bill Gates to lunch A few week's ago. They dined At Mickey D's and Warren used coupons when he paid up!
Imagine in 15-20 years, someone like Jonathan trying to start one of todays modern computer driven engines after sittin' that long... Lol... Nope. Another great start to another great save. That is one cool truck.
Awesome old IH. That's a keeper.
GL & HH my friend,
Brian

Love your first start videos ! Thanks
I worked on a bunch of ihc stuff years ago they also had a 504 cubic inch gas engine huge beast have a scar on hand from cylinder head
Congratulations on another running and moving truck! Hope the paperwork comes through soon for you!
Man, sometimes I wish I was you. Another success story. Cheers!

Cool Truck, Would love to have it, put an oversized pick-up box on the back ! Good firewood truck for me.
Excellent video, as always. Thank you.
Thanks for the videos brother! Happy to be a subscriber of Jonathan W.
Looks quite solid , like a lot of possibilities there !!
Old IHC pickups rare now. Dodges and Studebaker's also. I had one of these when I was 14...we used to drive over pine trees in the woods. Solid old trucks. Rusted out bad up North here. Scouts cool also.

Yeah buddy. That is great. Man you got a diamond in the rough. Great score.
Nice job Johnathan!
Good stuff, thanks
nice rig hope u keep it as is
nice video love to watch old cars starting
I love that too!!!
It's just like me in the morning little slow hard to start but once I got my motor running and warmed up I'm ready to rock
love the international
Much respect. Great skill and entertainment value. Subscribed.

Glad it started got you, but I enjoyed the cranking leading up to it!

thats one cool ol truck.
cool I had b-160 when I was in highschool but mine had a 6 cylinder
I want to see more of your daily!
Looks like a newer engine than the truck Jonathan ! Truck has a pcv valve, most trucks didn't have till the mid 60'S
May be, was a dump truck throughout the 90's for a re-construction company, could have been changed.
cool old truck Jonathan
Hi Jonathan, Any updates on the 4x4 Wrecker Build ?, thanks for the videos .
dam, it sounds good. New tow truck. A
Just found your channel and subscribed.
There's one of those that runs and drive around my town
I LOVE 1st starts!
Me too!
I sure like to follow your post.
My dad's oilfield company ran alot of binders. Not much for speed, but they could flatass pull!!
this is a truck i would be interested in owning. like you, i have a soft spot for internationals. i have way to many irons in the fire right now to add another project but this is a really nice truck. i dont have any real nice old ones....yet. although i have several.... 9670, s series, 2) 4700 and 4900, 8) 4300 and a 8600.
great video. good explanation
Just like one I found on my farm. I have the same job ahead
sounds great
Sweet ride right there
Looks like IH used the same Generator on that pickup as some of my Farmall Tractors used
I put a 364 Buick nailhead engine in a A 100 years ago. 4 speed muncie too. It would fly.
I wonder if the truck had a mechanical overhaul in the '90s when it saw service as a dump truck.

I'd love to have one of the B160s
Awesome video my friend.
It would be awesome if it's a 266! Those motors are monsters in power and torque.
Wow I have corona that hasent started in 47 years and it runs!
Amazing how them ole motors just crank up.....
Sweet!! Doesn't sound bad either 👍
At high rpm, IHs oil returns can't keep up with the amount of oil that gets pumped up too. I've heard of them starving for oil if it's a little low at high rpm.
The easy "fix" is to run it with an extra quart in it. But those long tubes welded on the valve covers could be to keep oil from sloshing out the breathers. I used a non vented oil fill cap and plumbed an extra vent line to the crank case vent.
I have couple 392 IH engines. I could see that only happening if those oil returns are full of carbon.
Love the wideo
nice job
Is it a 345 ? Those old international gas
Motors are torque monsters
didn't have them in 61, but it still could have been changed, so it may be. Will know soon.
I got a 345 in my 75 pickup. You're right, they definitely are torque monsters.
Jerry McBride had a 392 in old international bus,it was alot more power than the 345 s in my dumptruck s,definitely like the 392 better, alot torqueier.
Needs a 555 diesel in that thing!!
its a beast

wow another good candidate for a one day Rat Rod build. FINS UP
Proud to be a hillbilly. Keep up the good videos brother
good stuff
Really like the Daily Driver the whole set up sounds great, How cheap can you do one of those for a Model Train Truck Hauler??
great video Johnathan you are one of if not the best at waking up an old engine what do you make of the odometer reading?
Good start up. The 'ol girl didn't make you work too hard for it.
What is that song at the start?
