Having the build-sheet is important for IH light trucks. My experience (limited) is that IH sourced parts like I used to drink beer--anything available. Same model year could have more than one (sometimes more than two) brands/sizes of unimportant items like rear wheel bearings--super frustrating. Nonetheless, they are like Jeeps in that the same frame was set up for multiple GVWRs and drivetrains. I converted a 1/2 ton 2WD pickup (1100?) to a 3/4 ton 4WD pickup by cannibalizing a 3/4 ton 4WD 'Struggleall' we bought as a donor. Manually hanging that cast iron divorced Xfer case on the frame mounts while lying in the dirt, by my lonesome, was a feat. These things are like lego machines; mix and match.
@@waltkeyes57 I found that out on old GM trucks too. I have a 46 GMC that I found out has the same type of issue on U-joints. It hasn't been on the road in almost 30 years. It is sitting in a nice dry clean concrete floor shed, but life has gotten in the way. little things like a family, job, divorce etc. I bought it in 1987 and dailied it until about 93. It's my first truck and am not selling it.
My dad bought one just like that from the state auction and it was the bright safety yellow and hadn't been started forever, i had it running in no time and it ran good and had the granny trans in it. He drove that old truck every day for 30 years, he would leave his new cars sitting and jump in the old international and go hundreds of miles away and back with no trouble, the only thing that we had trouble was it was a short bed and when the road was wet it would spin out in the curves so quick it was crazy, and we changed the tires twice trying to get it to stop but it was so light in the back it wouldn't hold the road in a turn, and we wasn't going fast. But it was a good truck. That's a fact
This brought back great memories, I worked as a mechanic in a IH dealership in 1970 and we got those pickups ready to sell New. Great videos and enjoy working with you LOL
Nice work with the old International Harvester. What a crazy shift pattern for that transmission. I have never heard of that style pattern before. It was also nice to learn about heat treating the aluminum. I always learn something from your channel. Awesome work as always. I especially like how you stop when you are not having fun. I need to learn how to do that with my projects.
U can put a piece of carboard in between the radiator and the fan so when the fan comes of it wil not damage the radiator fins Hello from romania i love your videos
Enjoy EVERYTHING about this channel!! The ingenuity, the talent, the choice of neat stuff (most of us could only dream about)! Please keep them coming!!
Great video. Its nice to watch somebody logic something out and make a real life repair. Other comments are right about the numbers being low. This channel is too good to miss.
That is a well-appointed truck. I figured it had a slide in camper right off when I viewed those hold down hooks on the bed and of course the missing tailgate. Poor old truck is the victim of somebody not knowing what they are doing as to the servicing and adjustments but overall it is pretty complete. Of course the wiring is a bag of snakes but that is expected for any add on items that are not factory. When you get it squared away it will make a pretty good serviceable truck. As you probably know the square body Chevrolet trucks have that same issue with the hood bending. It is a safety design engineered into the hood to fold up upon a front end collision, but as the hood hinges wear and also rust up then the hood will bend like that when one goes to close it. There are support pieces available just like the ones you made up and of course some lubrication on the hood hinges helps out. Of course like yourself I fix a lot of things with an oil can.
Love those IH trucks! Nice job on the shroud repair. Keep that original fuel pump, rebuild kits are available from Then and Now Automotive, and those original pumps are much better quality than the new pumps!
Hey. On that 10mm bleeder. I recently installed new wheel cylinders on a 1960 CJ5 with 9” brakes. The mounting bolts were threaded correctly for the SAE bolts from the old wheel cylinder. Mounting went great. Then when I went to bleed the brakes they had the famous 10mm bleeders. So you may have the correct wheel cylinder that was manufactured offshore like mine was. Who knows? Thanks for the fun. 🤠
I really love your channel. People pay a lot of money to fake the patina you have on that truck, it just looks so cool. Please don’t change as you pick up more subscribers and the corporates come knocking to get you to promote their junk. I’ve seen several channels loose their focus and forget the reason they became so popular in the first place. Cheers mate, Stuart 🇦🇺
I can finally understand why the homebuilt wiring from the previous owner on my Dads 1970 Travellall was so frustrating. Great video, first thing I drove was '77 Scout II so IH holds a special place in my heart.
As a retired metallurgical engineer, you got the 2024 solution treatment and aging exactly correct. Awareness of documents like Mil-H-6088 is a UA-cam rarity. My 1950 International L-112 is scattered about my garage but now I'm encouraged.
As long time channel viewers, we can really smile when one of your projects cooperates the way this truck did. Great to see it running. I hope you get a chance to swap the clutch soon , and have it to use.
I really enjoy watching your videos! These are the only ones I can watch multiple times and enjoy as each time I see something I missed the times before!
I like cars and trucks but I'm not really a "car guy", I mean I don't fix or tinker with them but I like your videos. They are laid back and educational. This International is beautiful the way it is. I'd love to have one like that for rural driving.
Little by little you're getting - r - done. I worked on a 1969 - 72 Dodge that had brake light issues. After much aggravating time tracing wires down, the problem was in the turn signal switch. That's where the power splits between separating the Left and right lights. Or diode as you say.
I looked through to see if you'd done another video on this. A couple of things I know from working on vehicles when that Cornbinder was new. 1st gear is really a creeper gear, and you generally start in 2nd, unless you're pulling something heavy. Second thing is, the problem with the left taillight is probably in the turn signal switch. I made that frustrating discovery in a 1974 Econoline van.
Been watching your videos for a couple of months now on an unregistered tv. Finally remembered to subscribe today. Sorry, lol! I like your wit, projects, and methods of repair. I mostly watch repair videos and you are by far my favorite. And though I have been a mechanic for many years it seems I learn something new every vid. I think you have something here. The formula is right. Keep it up sir, this channel may grow much more soon! And I love your taste in trucks. Not the usual suspects from the big three
Happy New and Hopefully Better Year to Everyone!!! 🙏🎊🎉🇺🇸 Beautiful Truck overall for a International which were made more like a farm implement than a vehicle with creature comforts! That what probably makes them so unique and treasured! Not too many survived their hard lives either especially in the condition of the one you found!
I love watching this channel it never ceases to amaze me at the things that you are able to do with a minimum expense and a seemingly endless wealth of knowledge and spare parts! Keep up the good work!
That's a rad Binder. Even the green is on brand for it. A 396 Travelette is on my short list of dream trucks. I'd love to swap the transmission out for a stacked NV4500 with an SM420 and an NP201 for additional reduction ranges.
You're a wealth of knowledge about all things metal, fabrication, old machines, and having fun while you're building! Love all the traction you've seen and love watching more of your videos.
I've found when taking the fan off with Radiator still in. Take a piece of cardboard and lay it against the radiator. It will protect it from fan blades. While your removing it..Nice looking International.
I realize this is old but for future reference, the brake light power goes from the brake light switch to the turn signal switch and the turn signal switch determines what tail light to send brake light power to. I suspect your turn sig sw is bad. Thx for a great vid!
One day I hope to own something as beautiful as this harvester and kep it running as long as possible.. even if it means getting parts machined for it.
I am not sure if I understood your problem with the lights. I believe the brake light switch feeds the turn signal switch then from there it will go to the left and right brake lights on separate wires. So the turn signal switch is where I would look. hope this helps
ATTA-BOY James! Nothing like resurrecting older rolling iron. I was thinking about differences between Your IH and the latest and greatest '23 4X4 trucks. Yeah a nice new truck is pretty and all, but only if ALL of the bells and whistles were assembled correctly. AND, what about the "Ghosts in the Machine" in the CPU, bad programming will wreak havoc on the other systems. NOPE, I'D PREFER TO STICK WITH THE OLDER TRUCKS THANK YOU VERY MUCH...
You had me at just seeing the right turn signal indicator on the dash. Hope you get the left one working. Keep making some videos about this truck so I can hide from the wife and kids and have a moment of peace and happiness.
One thing I remember about the old corn binders was that it was important to have the serial number when getting parts. Ignition parts could come from any of several manufacturers depending on when the truck was built. I guess they must have jobbed out bids, and took the best prices when building em'. Still, you could have a barn dance on them and never leave a dent. I miss em'. We had that shift pattern on one, don't remember year or model. The 345 was twice the engine of the 304, had to reroute the fuel line on one that vapor locked, LOL good memories, they would get you anywhere and you wouldn't forget how you got there!
I love that truck. When I was in high school we tried working on a 69 International 2WD with that same V8. Unfortunately the engine was seized so we couldn't save it. I'm glad you were able to get that running and driving. To save it.
Dear LoBuGa guy. 👍👌👏 Well done again (video and work). Maaaan, I simply love this big, sturdy, green pickup truck. Please balance at least the worst brake drum. I'm eagerly looking forward to watch the car getting a new clutch and afterwards the first real test drive. With it's 5 speed gear box, it could even be fast enough for highways. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health in particular.
I enjoyed the video very much James! 😁👍 Glad to see you're getting time to wrench on that old *binder!* Sorry to hear the clutch is bad 😕 I like how the paint shines now that you hit it with some wax. Keep wrenching and be safe
I'm sure you have more important issues, but I hope somewhere down the line, a grease gun gets acquainted with the numerous grease fittings under there. I wish I had patience like yours with the wiring issues. I know just enough about electricity to know to stay away from it. I really like the truck though! Thanks for the video!
My friend had a early sixties International Harvester Travelall two-wheel drive in the late 70s. It looked like a slab sided suburban. We would pile in to go to northern Michigan to go skiing. I remember the starter didn't like to engage very well so we pushing it to get it started a lot. It never let us down all we ever did was put gas, oil and snow tires on it. It was a great truck but had a lot of weight reduction due to rust. Good luck on the clutch job, looking forward to the next video on that truck. 👍🇺🇸✌️
Here's a tip for a cheap wire protector. Find yourself some used cheap garden hose, push your wiring through the garden hose & waala your wiring is protected. Works great when having to run trailer wiring from the controller to the back of vehicle. Use some silicone caulking to keep water & dirt out of the hose.
While stationed at a naval practice bombing range in the Pacific Northwest, those type of Binders were the chore trucks,I think we had 5 of them,3 regular p/u like yours,and 2 crew cab 4 door models,,the trucks were nearly indestructible, very heavily built,on 3/4 and 1 ton chassis ,,we ran around on the super lug mud and snow gripper tires,and could go pretty much anywhere we wanted,regardless of the terrain we were on.Nice find!!😎😎😎
For the age of that machine it's totally Legendary. I picture it green and as new , must have been a very proud owner! 5/6/23 rewatching. Motor sounds very smooth. I wondered if theres a bearing cup sticking out of the yoke a touch more than ideal, while we were watching the brake test?
Sure wish I could have kept the one I had like this , but it was back in the mid 80s and I was broke, so had to sell it ! When I changed my water pump, I took out the rad and flushed it, much easier that way... Put some grease on the bolts you remove, you will be glad you did .
Watching fixing the fan shroud. Next similar situation get metal window screen and a soldering iron. Lay a patch of screen across the plastic break and spot heat the screen until it sinks into the plastic. When done leveling the screen into the plastic you wipe the iron back and forth to level any high plastic to smooth it out a little.
Such a sweet old truck! I'd really love to own an IH like this one some day. They have such a "power language" to them. They just look like they're unbreakable and ready for anything. And they basically are too! Here in Sweden they're more or less unobtainium though, and prices are ridiculous. But i do have a neighbour who owns an old IH tractor from the 70's that he actually bought new. I believe it's a Hydro 186. His son has now taken ower the family farm. And the IH is still there, doing the work like it was nobody's business.
Man that's a cool old Cornbinder, great find! Looks like your neighbor has a sweet yellow "A" model KW Aerodyne as well. Man I need to move down there, cause ain't none of that stuff still in Ohio that hasn't dissolved yet.
Brake light issue: May want to check the turn signal switch itself. Brake light switch should send power to a set of contacts to energize BOTH rear turn signal circuits(to act as brake lights). Left turn would disconnect the left rear turn signal circuits from the brake switch contacts and connect it to the flasher(similarly for the right turn). Hope this helps, as I also noticed the same confusion on the red Jeep “double duty” front turn signal issue.
Search for brake-light-wiring-with-3-wire-turn-signal-help in the images portion of the favorite search engine... for a pretty animation/diagram...perhaps this comment won’t error out this time....
I agree, I did a bad job explaining the issue. I compounded that with what I did on my last turn signal install on the red jeep. I started with a turn signal switch that did not have the brake light isolation, and used diodes to straighten out the flow. Then I swapped that one out for a newer style turn signal switch with a brake switch input in that same Jeep. When I did that, I realized that I had the "trailer light" connector for my tow bar wired through the front turn signals, which meant that I had to keep them wired to the brake lights in order for that to still work. I'm working on a video of wiring up the mutt truck, and I'll do a fresh install and hopefully I can do a good job of explaining it then.
IH makes good trucks, work horses. I had a Great Uncle that loved those international trucks but as far as cars, he was a Chrysler man all the way! Nothing wrong with that. Oh, he also liked the Checker cars, you know of Checker Cab game. But he worked for Chrysler and Checker both , of Michigan, he was a supervisor at both places. Anyhow, good stuff buddy, been subbed to you for about 6 months or so.
I love how he just--- fixes shit, no messing around ordering and waiting on parts, breaking things down into a million episodes.. he just, keeps on trucking through fixing stuff.
Yup fix it ignore. It Jan. Any part in. 😊😊😊😊

Yeah a calm intelligent man
He’s been growing steadily which is good.
Agreed. At least we are here 🙂
👍👌👏 Definitely!
Best regards luck and health
I agree wholeheartedly
I'm so disappointed in myself for wanting the camera to fall for a third time when you're tightening the water pump screws 🤣
Those old International pickups will run forever literally and this guy is the king of problem solving

Hey, I like your way of bringing things into shape or using simple solutions instead of using Hitecch tools. Greetings from Germany and keep it up.
Take the VIN number to your International dealer and they can get you a copy of the build sheet. I did it for my '69 Scout 800A.
Having the build-sheet is important for IH light trucks. My experience (limited) is that IH sourced parts like I used to drink beer--anything available. Same model year could have more than one (sometimes more than two) brands/sizes of unimportant items like rear wheel bearings--super frustrating.
Nonetheless, they are like Jeeps in that the same frame was set up for multiple GVWRs and drivetrains. I converted a 1/2 ton 2WD pickup (1100?) to a 3/4 ton 4WD pickup by cannibalizing a 3/4 ton 4WD 'Struggleall' we bought as a donor. Manually hanging that cast iron divorced Xfer case on the frame mounts while lying in the dirt, by my lonesome, was a feat. These things are like lego machines; mix and match.
@@waltkeyes57 I found that out on old GM trucks too. I have a 46 GMC that I found out has the same type of issue on U-joints. It hasn't been on the road in almost 30 years. It is sitting in a nice dry clean concrete floor shed, but life has gotten in the way. little things like a family, job, divorce etc. I bought it in 1987 and dailied it until about 93.

I would bet Reverse is below 1st which is granny gear and you can start in 2nd gear with no load.
AMG and Studebaker Army M35 2 1/2 ton trucks have a similar shift pattern.
U can put a piece of carboard in between the radiator and the fan so when the fan comes of it wil not damage the radiator fins
Hello from romania i love your videos
A great idea
You have no idea how many fans I have removed and never thought of that. Great idea.
Do you realize you’ve raised the value of all International trucks out there with a great vid like this? Lol
I typically do not subscribe to channels anymore but this one, is too good.
Enjoy EVERYTHING about this channel!! The ingenuity, the talent, the choice of neat stuff (most of us could only dream about)! Please keep them coming!!
Amen to that
Wow, thank you!
Great video. Its nice to watch somebody logic something out and make a real life repair. Other comments are right about the numbers being low. This channel is too good to miss.
Logic isn't a verb.
James, you have such a broad skill set and I love watching you solve problems in your unique way.
My head started to hurt when you got to the rear lights so I fast forward to the end I think
Wow 🤩 what a great video 👍 Also, Loved all the different camera angles at the end of the video
The king of problem solving… on a budget! 😅
I really like this Truck. jealous. Enjoyed these videos, you make it look easy. [it's not]

"Patina" is a word that needs to entirely disappear in the automotive world.
I love that old truck
It's a good looking truck. Seems to want to be on the road again.
I love your no nonsense direct approach
such a nice truck, definitely worth putting some work into and getting that wiring/clutch done. excited to see it out on the trails!
I can finally understand why the homebuilt wiring from the previous owner on my Dads 1970 Travellall was so frustrating. Great video, first thing I drove was '77 Scout II so IH holds a special place in my heart.

I could never do this! I just get a kick out of watching you and seeing the stuff you manage to get by with!
The turn signal switch is where the magic happens. That is where the brake light connection is opened so the turn signals to work.
When you started taking the water pump off I thought to myself I also live my life a quarter turn at a time.
Such a nice truck.
So much better than the plastic garbage we have now.
That truck is in really good shape.
You, zip ties n bias plies, neutral drop, & the dirthead shed are my favorites so far.
Jonathan w is well worth watching too
I like the fuel tank underneath, growing up I always hated listening to the gas sloshing around behind the seat.
I have been waiting for a new video to drop. I really enjoy your videos brother!!
I realize this is old but for future reference, the brake light power goes from the brake light switch to the turn signal switch and the turn signal switch determines what tail light to send brake light power to. I suspect your turn sig sw is bad.

this guy is heat treating aluminum for a fan shroud on a farm truck, and here i am drilling holes and using zipties on my daily 😭
I enjoyed the video very much James!
😁👍 Glad to see you're getting time to wrench on that old *binder!* Sorry to hear the clutch is bad 😕 I like how the paint shines now that you hit it with some wax. Keep wrenching and be safe
Thank you!
I'm sure you have more important issues, but I hope somewhere down the line, a grease gun gets acquainted with the numerous grease fittings under there. I wish I had patience like yours with the wiring issues. I know just enough about electricity to know to stay away from it. I really like the truck though! Thanks for the video!
My friend had a early sixties International Harvester Travelall two-wheel drive in the late 70s. It looked like a slab sided suburban. We would pile in to go to northern Michigan to go skiing. I remember the starter didn't like to engage very well so we pushing it to get it started a lot.
It never let us down all we ever did was put gas, oil and snow tires on it. It was a great truck but had a lot of weight reduction due to rust.
Good luck on the clutch job, looking forward to the next video on that truck.
👍🇺🇸✌️
This is a man of my own heart...throw away NOTHING, always look for the best bargain & don't take no BS off of the machinery
Here's a tip for a cheap wire protector. Find yourself some used cheap garden hose, push your wiring through the garden hose & waala your wiring is protected. Works great when having to run trailer wiring from the controller to the back of vehicle. Use some silicone caulking to keep water & dirt out of the hose.
While stationed at a naval practice bombing range in the Pacific Northwest, those type of Binders were the chore trucks,I think we had 5 of them,3 regular p/u like yours,and 2 crew cab 4 door models,,the trucks were nearly indestructible, very heavily built,on 3/4 and 1 ton chassis ,,we ran around on the super lug mud and snow gripper tires,and could go pretty much anywhere we wanted,regardless of the terrain we were on.Nice find!!😎😎😎
Love your style, Wit and Variety! Keep it coming
He really gives you the get up and go so I put my garden hat on and went to the garden 😮
For the age of that machine it's totally Legendary. I picture it green and as new , must have been a very proud owner! 5/6/23 rewatching. Motor sounds very smooth. I wondered if theres a bearing cup sticking out of the yoke a touch more than ideal, while we were watching the brake test?
Sure wish I could have kept the one I had like this , but it was back in the mid 80s and I was broke, so had to sell it !
When I changed my water pump, I took out the rad and flushed it, much easier that way... Put some grease on the bolts you remove, you will be glad you did .
Watching fixing the fan shroud. Next similar situation get metal window screen and a soldering iron. Lay a patch of screen across the plastic break and spot heat the screen until it sinks into the plastic. When done leveling the screen into the plastic you wipe the iron back and forth to level any high plastic to smooth it out a little.
Love your videos. I also appreciate your explanation of what something is and how it works.
Nice! Low Buck Garage never disappoints. Great video! Blessings and respect!
Such a sweet old truck! I'd really love to own an IH like this one some day. They have such a "power language" to them. They just look like they're unbreakable and ready for anything. And they basically are too!
Here in Sweden they're more or less unobtainium though, and prices are ridiculous. But i do have a neighbour who owns an old IH tractor from the 70's that he actually bought new. I believe it's a Hydro 186. His son has now taken ower the family farm. And the IH is still there, doing the work like it was nobody's business.
"I felt a lump right here" my immediate thought was that the wiring system had cancer
Man that's a cool old Cornbinder, great find! Looks like your neighbor has a sweet yellow "A" model KW Aerodyne as well. Man I need to move down there, cause ain't none of that stuff still in Ohio that hasn't dissolved yet.
What a great project man. And I agree, if it’s not fun you’re doing it wrong. Wise move just figuring out a better solution with the brake lights.
What great show,I learn so much. Thanks for all you do.
The videos are awesome 👍. Good knowledge with real life situations and the ingenuity to deal with them. The humour is on point 😅.
Brake light issue: May want to check the turn signal switch itself. Brake light switch should send power to a set of contacts to energize BOTH rear turn signal circuits(to act as brake lights). Left turn would disconnect the left rear turn signal circuits from the brake switch contacts and connect it to the flasher(similarly for the right turn). Hope this helps, as I also noticed the same confusion on the red Jeep “double duty” front turn signal issue.
Search for brake-light-wiring-with-3-wire-turn-signal-help in the images portion of the favorite search engine... for a pretty animation/diagram...perhaps this comment won’t error out this time....
I was thinking the same thing.
I agree, I did a bad job explaining the issue. I compounded that with what I did on my last turn signal install on the red jeep. I started with a turn signal switch that did not have the brake light isolation, and used diodes to straighten out the flow. Then I swapped that one out for a newer style turn signal switch with a brake switch input in that same Jeep. When I did that, I realized that I had the "trailer light" connector for my tow bar wired through the front turn signals, which meant that I had to keep them wired to the brake lights in order for that to still work.
I'm working on a video of wiring up the mutt truck, and I'll do a fresh install and hopefully I can do a good job of explaining it then.
@@LowBuckGarage Not a bad job in the least ... just a few of us willing to help... as if we were all hanging out in the same shop.
if your thinking of a diesel engine swap, i recommend a DT360 or DT466, then you keep the engine International
Hey..
Ya got her moving and stopping ..progress..
👍😎👍
Letttttttssssss gooooooo! Hope your camera is okay but the falls are gold. Lol. Also, if two hose clamps don't work you can always add a third. 🤣
That's a really nice truck enjoyed watching thanks.
IH makes good trucks, work horses. I had a Great Uncle that loved those international trucks but as far as cars, he was a Chrysler man all the way! Nothing wrong with that. Oh, he also liked the Checker cars, you know of Checker Cab game. But he worked for Chrysler and Checker both , of Michigan, he was a supervisor at both places. Anyhow, good stuff buddy, been subbed to you for about 6 months or so.
On the favorite list...the truck is the bomb...😍
