- bought this sassy unit, time to get her running, driving and hauling again......5 and 4 transmission...absolutely no brakes...also got shirts and stickers made...check out the store...
You paid for a running engine and got a free truck, what a score. I've been looking for over a year and a half for exactly that truck you're a lucky man.
truck is junk
@@londolly Only if you have no skill.
"I have no brakes of any kind."
*Proceeds to take the 5 ton unstoppable death trap for a little spin*
Farm road its OK b in field
Yeah, What else ya gonna do eh?
I ran my car with one working brake for a year and half and had to park it in gear cause the parking brake cable rotted away, he can brake with the engine bud.
you. don't need brakes
Yea and I love it.
This guys attitude should be a lesson to many, in the respect, that it's all about having fun with these beautiful old trucks, and having a sense of adventure and not taking it to seriously will always serve you well, and as long as you have your health at the end of the day , that's what really matters! K.O.T
sawed off frenchman just might have the best truck on youtube
Instead of “on TH-cam”. I think you mean “the ole lube tube there”
I ran I 5 and 4 when I was a kid on the farm. You can change ranges on the fly but also just leave it in high unloaded. Only time I used low was backing up to the auger. Used 2 in the field loaded. Direct when loaded on the road. It was a 66 D800 with a 413 industrial. 5 and 4 with a 2 speed axle. Ran it until 2008.
Normally I scroll past the “will it start” posts but this old girl deserves some respect.
I love how clean the inside of that valve cover was good old diesel oil keeps everything nice
Beautiful truck! Love the shape and lines. 100x more style than any modern truck. Looking forward to seeing more of it. :-)
I cant believe you scored that for 2500. One of the nicest trucks on YT !
Engine sits for god knows how long, gets it running, immediately puts it to the governor. Healthy healthy.
I know, right?!?
I'm like "what the f are you doing that for?" 🤦♂️
It detroit diesel want hurt it at all.
@@tallone09 until it runs away, ever tried to stall a runaway Detroit with no brakes?
@@atariforever2002 known in the UK as a village idiot 😂
@@hitop2365 now THAT would have made a great video! Lol
4:53 Dude, this truck is so frickin sweet.
^ the time stamp, get it? 4/53😂
Dude, your timestamp can't be coincidental 🤣
5:11
Sweet sounding engine! Great engine and a real buy. Best to you.
Awesome truck! It sounds amazing too. I would totally register it as a pickup and use it like one. It has paid it's dues.
The old timers used to say “if a GM/Detroit 71 series turns over it’ll start.” Thank you for keeping another another one going. They don’t make them like that anymore. I’d love to have one. Sorry I had to upload my comment so many times. Ol’ lube-tube got rid of the edit option so I had to delete and edit it several times. The oat sodas I or may or may not have drank helped me with my editing.
That's a killer truck man. Awesome save
The 5 speed is probably a Fuller TO905, the ID tag is on the left side near the top. 1st, 2nd & 3rd are in the normal place but 4th & 5th are backwards, down for 3rd, over & down for 4th & up for 5th which is an overdrive. The brake booster is a Cardone 51-8091 & are as rare as rocking horse shit! Pull out the drain at the bottom of the vacuum chamber, fluid shouldn't run out. Cool truck, what is it, a KB6?
Clark 5 had a goofy gear pattern as well.
@@jimmychanbers2424 They have fifth where it is so the passenger in the middle wouldn't have a shifter up their assphincter.
kb12 most likely
I have a 1947 International KB7 (gas I6/5 speed/2 speed rear). First thing we did was change the gear oil in the tranny and diff and it didn't shift for anything, turns out it needed Steam Oil (600W) and it shifts perfect. Steam oil was a pain to get.
That Hydrovac is like a remote power assist slave Cylinder. Your master cylinder is under the front seat, it is a single circuit design, runs one line into the Hydrovac under the passenger seat, then one line comes out and splits to the front and rear axles. I bypassed mine so my master runs the drums directly. If you want to stick with the factory setup they still put Hyrdovac units on forklifts and they are a lot cheaper than getting your hydrovac rebuilt by a shop. I'm putting a duel master cylinder in mine in the stock location. I'm using one out of a 2000ish GMC one ton pickup with a vacumme booster from a chevelle (I think? it was small enough to fit under the floor) and putting a remote reservior on the firewall where I can get to it without pulling the floor boards up.
The wheel cylinders are duel bore and they don't make rebuild kits anymore, so you'll have to cobble together springs and seals and hope the castings are OK and don't need sleeves. On mine (KB7 I think yours is bigger) the rear wheel cylinders have the front cylinder bore parallel with the ground and the rear cylinder points down at a 30 degree angle. It's an odd bird.
Looking forawrd to watching progress on this
Nothing like a 2 stroke Detroit! They pretty much will always run if you can get fuel circulating. Pretty much as dependable as an anvil, if you keep the 40 weight in them and coolant. They seem to love "abuse". Run them wide open against the governor (Probably 2400 on the 4-71) and when you shut them down, it seems to say "What? Done already?" Had a lot of experience with buses in the late 70s and the 80s, and the Detroits were the standard for all highway coaches, and a lot of transits. Love the sound!
yes they are just fine untill they have a runaway condiction , then not so great
Peg is gong to be jealous as fck now that you have such a sassy pants goin' to town rig like that. No wonder he was getting the Kuntworthy all dolled up in his last vidya
Just using all of his slang in one mc.sentence, okie bud
@@StaticM223 hey it's none of your damn business how much slang he uses
That dude is a sellout bitch
"Generations of starting fluid" haha another great video.
Bet it's got great compression.
The engine smoothness is just mind-blowing!
Absolutely crazy about IHC's, had a '42 M-2-4 ex USMC, left here in the UK after D-Day, but that was back in '76.
Well Done!
Who else thinks of Maximum overdrive when you hear an old Detroit??
When he revved it up it sounded like the green goblin coming after the salesman lol
@@357bullfrog9 hahahahhahaha, soo goood
Nope I think of my dad. The first truck his company put him in. Was a 70 Internation Transtar Cabover with a 8v71. To quote my dad " 12yrs in 513(truck number ) plus 45yrs with your mother. And you wonder why my hearing sucks. *** Surprisingly My mom agreed with him** Also
I wish Engine makers could recreate the Detroit 2 stroke sound in these modern air compressors.
(Posted by Rick Pickell) Thx 4 the flashbacks. Currently hiding in the mechanics pit in my garage thx to you. 😆
Bachman~Turner? lol
Good ole Alberta truck. Nice truck you got. Screamin jimmy never dies
I can hear your boy now...KETCHUP! A little redline fur a good time!
I have a KB-6 about that vintage that's slowly melting into mother earth. I need to do something with it soon.
You could paint it flat black and make another 'Jeepers Creepers' movie.
When he uploads you know it’s gonna be a good day
The inside solenoid parts from a newer 40mt will fit in the old external plunger style solenoid
Or do like my grandfather did and put a lever up through the floor lol
I'm glad the engine didn't run away from ya after sitting for so long. She's an absolute gem!!! Love it.
It should have. He finally checked the rack.
My oldest brother has my Dad's 1938 K-7 International hoist truck. There's a Cummins B-210 engine in it now. 20ton main hoist with 3 spools. One main two reserves. All hydraulic. A 5ton hoist up front and a 5ton hoist on the rear of the truck. A brush cage and radiator plate from a 50s D-8 Caterpillar crawler. All the hoist are hydraulic. He bought the truck in 1954 and converted it for logging and lifting heavy equipment and any other uses. 500ft of cable on the main spool. 25ft boom with a 25ft swing out extender. And a add on articulated boom for more reach. Mechanical out riggers and 11,000lb counter weight. It's a beast.
I am impressed with the 80 year old plus just turning over! Hope you keep its original paint scheme. Good luck 👍 it's in good hands now.
Just a hint when working with a Detroit that has not run for a long time you know to the check the injectors to know the rack is not stuck. But if you use a filter and an electric fuel pump it is very easy to prime them. I used to have a kit made up so I could drop a hose in some fuel and a line to hooked to the primary filter. I would just run the pump until I fuel returning to the tank. Then the engine would fire up quick.
Love your enthusiasm, save the old rig. Get it before the guy scraps it on your way there. Hear of that every so often. The Driptroit will make this sound wicked. Like the paint scheme except the engines the wrong colour.
Nice one on the colour, got a 353 and it's almost chev orange but too much ov a pain to change it
That is a sweet truck! Can't wait to see it completely back to life and back on the road! I would put it back into service in my business if I owned it. Love your videos bud!
Great find. Good runner. I've always had a thought to find something similar to this and build a period correct pickup truck bed. Always thought that would be cool. Take care
Good film thanks,for reminding me. The first detroit i worked on was a 3-53 in a log skidder in 1970. I've still got all my adj. Tools for all up to the 149 series.
Your like me just hear old 2 stroke detroit and your all about it and then the guy pulls it out with old timber jack with a detroit that is where i fell in love with 2 stroke diesel from runing a skider
I once had a 1947 International KB3 with green diamond flat head six gas engine.. Loved that old truck....Cheers from Louisiana USA
That is an absolute jem and for such an old truck that motor is fantastic
And man does it rev 👍👍
Many Trucks that age don't have synchronizers in the manual transmissions. You may need to double clutch every shift to prevent grinding gears.
In my younger days I'd run down the alley to try and catch a glimpse of a 50's GMC 650(?) pulling onto a thoroughfare several times a week at my end of town. I used to love hearing the driver go thru the gears with that 4-71 "screamin' jimmy". Years later I tried to hunt down that same truck but I think it had already gone to the junkyard.
The most fun part of that truck is the 5+4 not many people can drive those any more . I drove a B model Mack one summer for a paving company in a city . The crew could tell when I was coming because they would hear me shift 20 gears up and down at each stop light or sign on my way back .
Wow! Nice International. Good luck with the brakes. My brother and I purchased a '41 International flat bed, gasoline powered original inline 6 with a vacuum powered hi/low differential gearbox. It's the original motor and it runs great, however, the brakes were completely shot. Could not find brake wheel cylinders or shoes ANYWHERE. Had to piece together components from other brake wheel cylinder rebuild kits, just to restore the originals. Also, had to have the original shoes relined, because replacements were impossible to find. We're still having issues with the brakes and the whole project has been put on hold, for now. Probably will just end up selling it. This would make a great project for a vintage restorer.
I bought a 51 Diamond T with the 471 in it.. had a winch bed on it.. hard starting ole broad in the cold but once ya got her started shed run all day
You had me at 471 Detroit Diesel.
Great find!! Nice KB binber.Make sure you double clutch her and ease it in to gear.Check out some of the You Tube videos on shifting the 5×3 & 5×4's.A lot of the owner's of the oldies will show you how it's done. Good luck and best wishes to you.
That thing is bad ass. A 4-71 can spin to the moon. Love those old 2 strokes.
That thing is a beaut.... I'd love to find an old rig like that to ring back to life... The older units always had a nice, classy look...
Suh-weet!
Keep doing what you’re doing. This American loves it. Hope all is well with you.
Pick that gear up on the way back !! Hahaha. You don’t need brakes !!
A new legend is born 🤌🤌🤌🤌
I love these old internationals, I am currently resorting my own KB2 which is quite a bit smaller but one day I will get myself a truck like this one
What a honey of a truck, glad you're keeping it!
Unloaded put the auxiliary in direct (3rd) and drive the primary like a regular truck.
Loaded you will only use two gears in the primary or so then shift back down the the primary and shift up in the aux. You can grab the aux gear first then downshift the primary, but it's better to grab both at the same time while no hands are the wheel.
Have a little more patience when shifting, you just have to wait for the speed to come down then lightly push it in gear.
That's an awesome truck I love 2stroke diesels.❤ The stories that truck has you can only imagine ❤
Wow, nice truck! Nice to see something you're not looking to blow up LOL. Best of luck with her
wow, what an absolute junkyard gem. Amazing. She really needs just a bit of fix me up and its time for going to town.
Nothing sounds more badass than a Detroit! I’ve got the 3-53 in my Timberjack 225 cable skidder. Just fucking loyal
2500 for a 5x4 and a detroit! what a steal!
Love that truck. Reminds me of some of the freighters we had in the bush back in the '80s. That's where I learned to drive a 5 & 4!
Great video and even better truck. Love them cornbinders
Hi A,those tranys love to shift at lower RPM start shifting at a lower speed, nice rig, thx for keeping her, 😁
That's a sassy unit right there bud!
I just got my CDL and I can’t wait to find a gem like this and bring her back to life.
I think that’s a really neat old truck it’s good you got it and saved it for maybe a scrap this is six in a row Jim from Kennerdell PA
That baby could've been straight out of the movie Maximum Overdrive for sure. Gotta love it. GaMike
Those Detroit's sound amazing, great find and job getting her running
This is so cool - and that you had plans to use it again. What brought me here and to a few other videos was Curbside Classic's recent stories about the Detroit Diesel engines. I never knew a truck this size would have a 4 cylinder, but it seemed common back in the day. I'll estimate around 284 cid? Love the sound of those DD 71 engines. Brings back memories when I was a kid, this truck being made 10 years before I was born.
Yes, 284ci or 4.6 litres.
4 times 71 is the capacity mate, it's a Detroit so easy to work out
Yep, I 'did the math', and I know the same applies to other Detroit engines like the 6-71 series.
That truck has a non sycro manual gearbox, you've got to double the clutch.
This is the exact truck I want, and your using it for the exact reason I want one. And I mean exact, the paint color, driveline and patina on it. One day all find one like that, just not in Southern Ontario. Sounds like a road trip in a greasy old unknown truck.
Ok you got me with Detroit Diesel....My father drove a 5 and 4 when I was a child. So I want to see you fix this up, just hearing it run makes me see my dad standing next to it and that was 1964 and it was an old truck then....wow that's a nice truck.
Good ol duo -stroke fuel toilet lol. Does sound good though, and that blower whine NICE.
Atleast you got the safety sandals on lol.
Hahahahahahaaaa!!!! Starter fluid in generations!!! I remember our Allis HD9 dozer always but ALWAYS needed starter fluid....can still recall that smell from 45 years ago.
I watch this over and over. Coolest old truck on the planet
i love the sounds of detroits, i almost want to swap one into an 82 k20....almost
Man I love your channel you remind me a lot of JH diesel haha just more Canadian thanks for the upload.
True
What a beautiful piece of machinery!! Nice find Mr Frenchman
That IS incredible, almost no rust, what an amazing condition for a 75 year old truck! If it could speak, it would probably say: "All my colleagues are RIPing somewhere, eaten away by corrosion! But I - I am the Last of the Mohicans!"
She’s fuckin mint dude 👌🏻👌🏻 Detroit’s with an air starter sound so sweet, my first thought was maximum overdrive 🤘🏻
What's a Detroit with an air starter have to do with this truck?
@@dustintunis9347 clearly has nothing to do with his truck considering his is a Detroit without an air starter, it’s what most would call a general statement, could even be considered a suggestion seeing as making shit cool is what he does and might’ve already thought of 🤷
@@18spd4Life - It's the first of his videos I've watched, so all I knew was he revived it and is planning on making it into a usable flatbed. I didn't read your comment as a suggestion so it seemed quite random. Air starters seem like a horrible idea to me because air leaks happen, and no pressure means no start. I guess if you have an air starter you just have to track down any tiny air leak ASAP.
@@dustintunis9347 air systems were pretty minimal back then so honestly it’s not as hard as you’d think
@@18spd4Life - I got my CDL in 03, so I didn't think about how much less used air on the old trucks... It was probably just brakes I guess, well besides the starter.
That is going to be a sweet truck
Thats one of my dream trucks! Love the old Internationals.
Fukkin fabulous sound, amazing body condition. You got yourself a nice toy!
Engine is sitting there pumping out its lifeblood all over the ground, and he’s standing there revving it up….😆
How cool, even I got a kick out of it when it started and ran. Can't wait to see the finished product. Good luck with it 😎👍
Taught me something. I've been going to the Gentleman's club when I need something sassy.........😆😆😆
It’s at least a kb6, cause it’s got the bigger fenders, and they don’t have headlights in them. I have a kb5, they are all alike from 1-5. You found a good one! Love that old 2 stroke!
What a beautiful sound! We all know International "corn binders" have square gears! Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I grew up with a 1946 KB 6 International with a 6 cylinder gas pot engine.
Was a 406 in line in the end of gas 220 hp Cummins neck n neck where Cummins started in the ihc truck
3:20 that was a beautiful day, i must say...
Once it's primed, the old 471 will sing beautiful music. When I was a kid we still had some city buses with 471s that were bought new in the 1940s that were still running. They were still in limited use until the mid 1970s.
Great story about a great truck good luck with it thanks for sharing lots of fans of dem old binders out here
all I could hear was peg leg yelling "put it in the catchup"!! lol
That truck is bad ass!!!
Love that truck and the skidder.
Skider looked a payloger
Just went back to look and I'm wrong
Great video. Thank you. Candy apple is the color!
I've worked on hydra boost It was 50 years ago. I don't remember much. I there not that bad. I have faith in you. Do remember when you bleed the system start at the boost unit then far to close
Worth the money bud. I was glad to see she started and ran on diesel.
Makes me happy to hear that detroit
Detroit's don't leek oil they use it to mark there territory
I just bought a RF190 with a 5&3 will have to learn how to shift that. I seen that truck on Kijiji sure wish I beat you to it.
I've seen some big, old iron that's tempted me, but I haven't given in yet. Nice job!
Awesome score bro even for an experienced truck driver a 5 by 4 it's a whole new ballgame you don't know how to do it it's hard
Yeah I watched some videos on shifting those seems confusing
