Even if you cannot find that specific engine, it would be extremely easy to swap in something with similar specs, so long as it's mechanically driven. A more modern engine with similar specs would last you far longer and would have much better fuel economy. Don't limit yourself to on-road engines either. There are many Marine and Industrial engines that would go perfectly with that Loader. The only thing you need to look out for is making sure your torque numbers aren't exceeding the original if you plan to retain its original transmission and final-drive.
That opening statement, "Gentlemen welcome back", for one second I thought this was an AvE video but there was no "to the shop" or "a treat especial" 🤣🤣🤣
Being an old Electrician, I ALWAYS have the knife, usually 2, and an EASY 100# of junk, plus good stuff in the back of my truck. We would get along just fine. (Great video too ! Thanks).
I don’t know anything about fixing a loader I just enjoy watching these videos and it’s really great to see all these different strangers coming together to pitch in and help out👍
It’s a shame to leave those machines out where the weather slowly kills them ! It will take quite an effort to scrap them ! Thanks for trying to save them Wes ! Like your videos a lot !
International machine in the forest haven't run 13 years long time hope you get out there get moving good condition praying running awesome video keep up the good work friend bless you
Thanks Wes, love the old machinery rescue... Would appreciate the forklift resuscitation, it would give me hope with my "55 Yale. Cheers and thanks from Canada...!
We have the same fork lift at work. And funny enough we dragged it from out of a creek from behind the recycling building. They drove it back there when the spark plugs went bad in the 80’s and left it there so they could get a new one. We found it, fixed it and use it here in transportation daily. Also hello from Missouri
if you have the time you could remove the spark plugs and fill the cylinders with diesel. fill the crankcase right up with diesel and leave it for the winter. small chance it might unseize but i would imagine the bearings will score as soon as it turns over. but if its already junk there's nothing to lose.
Wes, I don’t know how you react to others offering suggestions on different processes we as mechanics or technicians have seen, tried, and heard off over our careers, but as one who is now retired as I became disabled with M Dystrophy and now an armchair tech, I’d like to offer up something I’ve used. With that old seized C301, I’d like to have seen you try pouring boiled diesel fuel down the plug holes and then leaving it for a few days and then trying to turn it with a power bar/socket. I used this method one time on a sunk fishing boat motor that was sunk in the salt water for about a year, I got it fired up for an insurance company. This boat was sunk when hitting ice while fishing around Newfoundland, Canada years ago when I first started my career. Love watching your videos, am subscribed, and like watching your videos because you are patient and dive directly into your work without the foolish antics most blogs have. Your show gives me comfort as I loved my work and was very dedicated and usually worked alone without distractions and your videos make me feel like I’m there again.
Sorry to see that the old girl is not a problem that is easily solved. Remarkable what problems cannot be solved by throwing large sums of money at them 😁 I'm sorry for what happened and what you went through. Take care of yourself those you care about, Pete
Coolant has corrosion inhibitors in it usually and there was no sign of rust in what came out of the sump. See if you can get it unstuck, I don’t reckon it’s as bad as you think 👍👍
Hey, I'm only in to the 4-minute point, but I can already tell your a swell mechanic. You've got all the correct sound effects and I'll bet you could raise the Titanic and get her running in a jiffy! My dad used to say "never trust a man that can't make good sound effects". Dang, I like this channel!
Hi Wess. Well here's another you most likely already know. I work on mostly really old rusted stuff. I always have metric sockets and wrenches as well as sae. I've had really good results driving metric impact sockets on old rusted sae bolts that are rounded off. Most of the time I've got to drive the bolt out of the sockets with a punch and hammer so yeah it works pretty well. Have a great day.
We picked up an IH 2404 industrial tractor. It was a warm day and the engine turned but when it turned cold it was stuck. We dragged it into the garage and the entire oil pan was a solid block of ice. All I could figure was that it was condensation the exhaust was down and the air intake was covered.
Ive been watching a lot of your older videos...im glad you stuck it out, i think you had less than 10k subscribers when you made this one, and now you have way more! I hope to see the day you have 1 million :) I know im on board!
the frontend loader might just have a blown gasgit , with the green fluid in everything, it might have protected the engine from freezing over the years.
You can't save them all. Thanks for showing the process even if it did not turn out. Other TH-camrs would have just not posted the video so you think they win every time. You have the guts to show the good and bad .. keep it up! SUBSCRIBED!
I just love the optimistic wannabe mechanics out there who think they know everything, no one else knows anything and a tune up will fix everything. It's a good way to get work in the door though as evidenced here, the tune up led to an engine replacement. One of my favorite stories is an attractive young lady bought a hot rodded Camaro which had a knock. The local garage knew enough to not touch it with a ten foot pole and sent her to me. I was younger and single then. Took a look at the situation and said I dunno for sure but it's not the timing chain letting the valves hit the pistons or the cam or lifters. Only way to fix it is to jerk out the engine, which I tried to discourage because it was a miserable job and the car was borderline. She says go ahead so I do and the crank is totally trashed, the noise was the piston slamming into the head. Give them a realistic estimate and don't hear anything for some time. Put everything into storage. Some time later she shows up with her dad who was a monster of a man and he has "his mechanic" with him. They take a look at the situation and they decide they can fix it, all the crank needs is polishing. I charged them $200 in 1990 which was pretty reasonable and they complained about that. Never saw the car around again but ran into the "mechanic" a few years later and asked him what happened. They took the crank to the other machine shop in town and they confirmed it was FUBAR. Fubar to the point unless you were legally blind you couldn't see it was blue and rougher than a gravel road, as were the rods. There is no point in getting mad about such things, these incompetents will always be there. They may not be very good mechanics, but they are very good salesmen/politicians. My only regret is because things were sour, the young lady and I never got together.
Sounds like me and my buds with the truck. I keep ramps, large mat in the bed. 2 different tool boxes in the back seat, a pancake compressor, fishing gear, breaker bars, pry bars also inside the cab. Not to forget 3 different flashlights in the cab. Also keep 5 pairs of scissor, and 2 knifes in the truck. Never know when you'll need a pair of scissors until you need to hack a electrical line.
I believe you will find that forklift had a Mitsubishi 4 cylinder motor. Was also used in various Mitsubishi, Hyundai, Kia & Chrysler cars in the 80s & 90s.
That was definately antifreeze which won't freeze. Your pistons are hydro locked. Pull the plugs and try turning that engine over. You may be able to salvage it.
I don't think it hydro locked. We had the plugs out of it once and poured in some diesel. Either the main bearing are rusted solid or the pistons are seized. Also, even though it looks green, we get -35F temperatures in the winter here. It could easily have frozen if the concentration was wrong.
@@WatchWesWork I'd still hook up the breaker bar or batteries and give it a crank now. With that much fluid in the case, you'd never roll it over. That green was definitely 50/50 or stronger. I'd be willing to bet it rotates now, especially since you left lube soaking in the cylinders.
Good man helping unstoppable Morgan out! Your stuffs been in my “suggested” for years and I’ll watch em from to time. I suppose me subscribing is the least I can do!
I am a great fan of white vinegar for rust removal It has never failed me yet. Here is a very cheap suggestion. Get 5 gallons of white vinegar, it sells for about C$ 1.80 - 2.0 / gal from Canadian tire (in Canada). Replace the oil pan and seal it up, then. fill it and every cylinder and every hole you can find and let it sit for a week. If it has not freed up by then, -- throw it away. forget it and move on . If you can move it a bit, wash it out with water give up a prayer, then lubricate everything with transmission/brake fluid mix and reef on the end of the crankshaft You might be suprised !!! Good Luck.
Hey Wes, I'm with you. I believe a gentleman should have boots on his feet, a leather belt, some cash and a knife in his pocket before he leaves the house. I think the forklift first, but don't write off that loader yet. If you could make it run for $2500 or so, that would be a deal. Since it rear steers, it could also be the big boy fork lift.
@@WatchWesWork It's a Clark, bud. It won't lift nearly as much as you think it will, especially considering that it's one of their "compact" models. A big forklift weighs 20 000 lbs or more. 10 000 is about what any modern compact forklift will weigh in at. That Clark probably weighs in at less than 8000. Also, the fact that those small Clarks are so narrow makes them extremely dangerous, even if they're only ever used on a level concrete pad. Stick with the Wheel-Loader. That lift will just give you more problems than its worth and it might even take someone's life. Far as I'm concerned, the only thing an old Clark Compact is good for is scrap metal. My local scrap yard is absolutely full of small Clark lifts like that one waiting to be torched apart. It bears mentioning that the only fatal forklift accident I ever witnessed was due to one of those narrow Clarks tipping over at full-mast. Clarks are about the sketchiest lifts you can get. Even Hitachi makes better forklifts than Clarke ever did, and they're on the low-end.
I remember using a brand new 3850 and my first impressions were incredible power but difficult to use. The geometry in the boom/bucket was very strange.
In the rollback truck front axle seal repair; the Bellville/spacer is in presumably to keep constant preload on the bearings. I would tighten another half turn. We may not be used to such quality built into front wheel bearing systems.
You might have antifreeze in the cylinders keeping it from turning. Since it is not just water, it might not have rusted up too bad or frozen and cracked something. I would pull the plugs and siphon the water out and put in the transmission fluid. Let it sit for a few days and see if you can turn the engine over. If you can get it turning the maybe take the head off and see if it is just a head gasket and maybe clean up the head and cylinder walls a bit and drop a new head gasket in there. put some oil in and see if you can get it started. It would be ashamed to see that scrapped out.
That was a valiant effort and another great video, maybe someone will be able to donate a suitable engine. I’ve been enjoying your videos, but can’t bring myself to leave any of that ‘Dominant’ feedback you guys who make these videos clearly thrive on. P.S. Sorry to hear about those endangered baby Bald Eagles.
Good weather and positive attitude would be a good start. Vice grip garage would not be my choice of mentors. I'm quite sure that old loader deserves a little effort. A chain saw and a fire to run the bugs off with the smoke. I would walk a dozer in and drag it out screaming to repair it
There's no reason to give up on an older vehicle. For one thing vintage vehicles were ment to be repaired forever. That tractor would accept prety much any power plant you took the intuitive to build in there. The real question is are you going to be defeated that easily?
I have an old 1979 john deere 755 crawler loader on my farm. When it was parked in the 90's they never drained the coolant so it became acidic and destroyed the orings on the wet sleeves. When I drained the oil on it last year looked just like this probably gallons of coolant everywhere lol. I wanted to restore it but at this point it would cost more to get it back up and running then it is worth.
My biggest time-consumer id finding the tools I need to work on a project, at least you keep stuff in piles. I usually have to jog my hit & miss memory for what I was using the tool on last, then go see if that's where I left that tool. Yeah, I bet that block is cracked. I'd look for a Diesel replacement if it could be found, more torque. Even Mustie1 would have a tough time bringing that gasser back. Save the good rams on the machines that have any, and scrap the ones beyond hope, you have some work ahead of you!
Motor is probably ok with that amount of antifreeze in it. Change oil filter and fill with old black oil and try to fire it up. When you get it running thin the oil about half with diesel fuel and run about 10 minutes then drain. Change filter and oil for new. You may be surprised. I have been before. When oil and antifreeze sit together for a while they form a chunky slurry.
I LOVE Old Internationals! I hope you can do something with this old Girl. My employer (my first 40 hr a week job, 1980) had one of these with forks on the front. He used it to move the big steel plates we would cut up with a "torch train". He would only run it when we were cutting these parts, every few weeks or so. Thing ran great.
I would love to see this beast alive again. I got almost the same machine, mine has the backhoe though 3800.. Cabs the size of my livingroom lol Front engine D282. Was left for over 12 years with the hood and the head off by previous land owner. Having trouble finding a similar block with the same bolt up pattern at a decent price.. About ready to pull the rods and go crank pulley to another power source.
I am working on international 3400a endloader backhoe and 1975 two wheel drive I think been sitting for years 4cly gas too cold to work on it outside not at home I live near Havana I'll
If anyone knows of a decent International D282 engine please let me know. We're not completely ready to give up on this machine.
Even if you cannot find that specific engine, it would be extremely easy to swap in something with similar specs, so long as it's mechanically driven.

Wes Johnson Services it would be that hard to get unstuck. Hell as long as it’s has some compression it’ll run again
Get zip ties and bies plys to fire it up for you.. He can get any heap running.. Minnnt.. 👌
I have a rebuilt IH black diamond engine just sitting in my shop. I’m always up for a little bartering. West of Rockford.
I think even Mustie1 would admit this engine is toast.But he'd still rebuild the carburetor!

It's just so far gone...
My Initial Thought thought Was Save The Loader. Screw The Loader . Save The Forklift. I Had One That Style. I Have The Books On It Also.
Hi Wes, great channel. Love your workmanship and knowledge.
A Cummins 4cyl would be an appropriate swap.
You may have height issues with the BT series engines.
I like you humorous Philosophy. Thanks for the videos.
Good weather and positive attitude would be a good start. Vice grip garage would not be my choice of mentors. I'm quite sure that old loader deserves a little effort. A chain saw and a fire to run the bugs off with the smoke. I would walk a dozer in and drag it out screaming to repair it
Great design, oil and coolant in one drain plug.
To me that loader would be worth fixing. To buy something capable of doing the work that thing could you would be into major dollars.
Thanks for helping Unstoppable Morgan! A great favor to another person! Well done Wes, I've watched your channel 👏 and now I subscribed 👍
There's no reason to give up on an older vehicle. For one thing vintage vehicles were ment to be repaired forever. That tractor would accept prety much any power plant you took the intuitive to build in there. The real question is are you going to be defeated that easily?
I have an old 1979 john deere 755 crawler loader on my farm. When it was parked in the 90's they never drained the coolant so it became acidic and destroyed the orings on the wet sleeves. When I drained the oil on it last year looked just like this probably gallons of coolant everywhere lol. I wanted to restore it but at this point it would cost more to get it back up and running then it is worth.
12:18 when you have a weak stomach and eat some taco bell.
My biggest time-consumer id finding the tools I need to work on a project, at least you keep stuff in piles. I usually have to jog my hit & miss memory for what I was using the tool on last, then go see if that's where I left that tool. Yeah, I bet that block is cracked. I'd look for a Diesel replacement if it could be found, more torque. Even Mustie1 would have a tough time bringing that gasser back. Save the good rams on the machines that have any, and scrap the ones beyond hope, you have some work ahead of you!
Put marvel mystery oil in each cylinder and let it sit and try to turn it over
Fill the case and cylinders with a 50/50 mix of PB Blaster and Marvel. Leave it set for a couple weeks. Bet it would break it free.
@@TerryKott I reckon it depends on the work. I have found when heating and using penetrating juice, pb draws in better and doesnt flash off like wd.
I like the way you describe what your doing and will follow your videos on youtube.
You give up to early would be great to watch you try to get it going don't give up !!🍺🍺🍺🍺
The Florida pool pump motor repair guy approved ! that was good info Wes
You sir have a new fan from Scotland. Love all of you’re videos. Keep them up! 😀😀
I'd like to see more of this, already a subscriber of you and Mustie1 ;)
I like odd ball machines.
You need a snow plow rig right.
"" can't trust a man without a knife in his pocket+£50 worth of crap in the back""" Oh man... Great/sound/solid advice.. 💯💯💯💯💯
Ok I've felt with stuff like this before, it's save able but it'll take a while
Love your shows! Keep them coming!👍
Convert it over to a 6 cylinder cat diesel and keep runnin her like she was new
I think that's a good way to lower the value of a Cat engine.
Can’t save em all! Keep up the Great work, Save the forklift that hits close to home....
I do believe that cow beer you can only get in Wisconsin !
Yes Sir. Good stuff.
Great steak too!
Motor is probably ok with that amount of antifreeze in it. Change oil filter and fill with old black oil and try to fire it up. When you get it running thin the oil about half with diesel fuel and run about 10 minutes then drain. Change filter and oil for new. You may be surprised. I have been before. When oil and antifreeze sit together for a while they form a chunky slurry.
My dad has this same loader as you and your loader is called a Hough
And a Hough is or was part of IH which was shown on the ID tag. :-)
I LOVE Old Internationals! I hope you can do something with this old Girl. My employer (my first 40 hr a week job, 1980) had one of these with forks on the front. He used it to move the big steel plates we would cut up with a "torch train". He would only run it when we were cutting these parts, every few weeks or so. Thing ran great.
The Grey chunky stuff looks like me after taco bell
I would love to see this beast alive again.
I got almost the same machine, mine has the backhoe though 3800..
Cabs the size of my livingroom lol
Front engine D282. Was left for over 12 years with the hood and the head off by previous land owner.
Having trouble finding a similar block with the same bolt up pattern at a decent price.. About ready to pull the rods and go crank pulley to another power source.
I am working on international 3400a endloader backhoe and 1975 two wheel drive
I think been sitting for years 4cly gas too cold to work on it outside not at home I live near Havana I'll
