I worked for an Interstate Overnight Transport company in Australia in the late 1970's ~ 1980's and we had quite a few 4200 Transtar's 8V71 Detroit Diesel, 15 Speed (Direct) Roadranger Transmission, Hendrickson Suspension. Also had another 4200 Transtar with 8V71 Detroit Diesel and 14 Speed Spicer Spoiler Transmission, this particular truck was purchased Brand New in 1979 from Whitehorse International in Nunawading, Victoria, Australia. (Melbourne) I served my apprenticeship as a Diesel Mechanic with International Harvester Company of New Zealand Ltd and always liked the 4300 Transtar ~ longer hood NTC400 HP Cummins. In my opinion the 4300 was the pick of them. 👍😎👍 You have certainly purchased a well preserved example of day's gone by and I wish you all the Best with whatever you may do with this fine old truck. Kind Regards, AJ Bentley. Rotorua, North Island, New Zealand. PS : This brings back many great memories of Overnight transport on the Hume highway between Melbourne and Sydney. Thankyou so much for sharing this Video. Take care and be safe over there in the greatest country in the World.👍💯👍 *Subscribed today !!! (5/1/2020)
I agree the 4300 does look better with the longer hood. when i bought mine there was a 4200 day cab with a 903 cummins and I chose the 4300 for obvious reason. Repainted yellow and black and the engine set up to 444 specs and its a running beast now. I use it to haul steel out of Birmingham Alabama. Shell climb Monteagle loaded with no problem, I put a triple axle Fontaine 48 foot flatbed on her and she is a head turner.
been looking at one of these for a long time, only 3 weeks away from buying an 82 Transtar 4300. Lord willing it's still a solid truck and can still take commercial use.
That’s one sharp old IH! You’re taking it to the Iowa 80 truck show? Yeah! I’ve never been there, but hope to go sometime in the future. Have fun on it. Is that a Series 60 Detroit? 🤩
Partner that is a beautiful truck it's not the rarest but you don't see many of them. From what I can tell the exterior in particular the paint looks excellent if there's any way you can please please don't repaint it buff that out have it cleaned professionally redone but for God's sakes those are classic truck scenes from the fifties and sixties and 70s that you do not see anymore and probably won't seen again wonderful example of a classic 1970s truck.
Not trying to get all in your business but wd 40 is way easier on your motor than ether is. Ether is hard on those old motors. I have seen people pour that shit down a 2 stroke detroit but its hard on those old cummins and cat motors

Glad there's people like you keeping these things going. Trucks were manly back then. That Cummins says it all
I love them old 4300 wish i could get one and fix it up the way i want it
I love the squareness of that rig. So cool.
been looking at one of these for a long time, only 3 weeks away from buying an 82 Transtar 4300. Lord willing it's still a solid truck and can still take commercial use.
Them old macks superliners with the v8 motors too
that is one good looking truck, 235 inch wheel base and a 60 inch sleeper and it wont even look like the same truck.
Drove a 86,,4300 with Jerr dan 35 ton wrecker body on it,,,,,,same interior same engine and trans,,,,,,,,love the ole IH!!!!!

Porter Productions Big Cam Cummins. Watch our latest episode to hear it screem. Thank you!
DO NOT REV AN NTC CUMMINS BEFORE IT WARMS UP, those head bolt will break and then youll have a whole lot of fun fixing it!!!

7:31 Music?
I dont know why everybody wants to lower the front end of these trucks. They are supose to set up high. They are trucks.
In their opinion it looks cool. Like a low rider.
Nice paint scheme. It would look awesome with a chrome light bar on the rear.
That would be cool!
She's a real classic and they don't make them like that anymore. Hopefully it has a better engine in it then the one I drove .
Chris Collinsworth Big Cam Cummins. Check out our latest episode. Thank you
I love the sound of a Hummin Cummins
Yoo that thing is sweet
Skyler Jenkins thank you. Wait till it’s done:)
I cant remember the name of the company but there was a heat kit you could buy for the fuel on those old motors but i cant remember the name.
Cool truck ))) l like him.
We do too! Appreciate you watching.
A can of ether would help you getting it started 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
thats crack to a diesel engine, once you use it to cold start an engine you wont ever cold start it again without it.
Czy mi sie zdawalo albo Polski słyszałem
Na sto procent:)
Thats a good looking old harvester though
We think so too! Thanks Vaughn.
I own a 02 mack Vision that the oil gear pump blew up in how much to rebuild it? Has a 475 mack in it . Thanks
Ether? Mechanics frown on Ether, but, I had no problems using it for 40 years..
lake Elsinore CA , my place 264 East Peck Street
Might should've known, a square head..
you check for neutral during crank???? isnt it pretty obvious???????????
It is but It's like a habit now. I can't control touching the shifter
I do 2...cant help it.
What year is it
Hey Jason .This is a 1984. Thank you for watching!
Is that a big cam 3 or 4 ? And what does it have for a transmission?
Darwin Payette big cam 3 and it’s a 13 speed.
@@TruckYoo any plans to turn the motor up?
Darwin Payette not sure yet what we’ll do with it. It was overhhauled so I might just leave it but there are more episodes coming about this project
Back in the day, this was my first big trk., day cab, Cummins with a 7 spd. Spicer trans., would climb a wall if u didn't spin out.

Yup, ive seen cat loaders in the heat of afghanistan need ether to start. Its like meth for diesels.
3rd try? Where'd you learn how to count? 😂
Wait its a diesel e cold start ....
Why buy this old truck? International has like the lowest quality. It's not even a Cab Over. What's was the fascination? I like the colors though.
IH built great trucks before the 80s. It wasnt until they sold off everything that they started gettin cheap.
