Years ago I was driving semi in Washington state and encountered an old truck yard. The guy had many old trucks like this and others. I remember the old trucks with manual turn signals. It is so important to preserve this kind of history.
These old mover trucks really are a humbling experience in a whole. You just have to think how it would be operating one of these in a blizzard with no heat and no doors. Heck your lucky to have windows in some of these. Those old timers were built different for sure.
@@thisoldtruck4719 if you wanna watch some videos on old truck like these Rainhill1829 has some videos of old trucks along with a video of one of the original mining trucks used at the hoover dam
Just like you said Barbed wire and Kerosene! I knew an old guy who always talked about his days in the Navy.. One day I said Hey Mike! When were you in the navy? His reply "Back in the days when the ships were made of wood and the men were made of steel “ Haha yep you bet! International is an underrated company and vehicles, amazingly tough, they even built Tanks and Rifles during both wars I own a 78 Scout II TOUGH MONGREL FOR SURE!
Couldn't hit the thumbs up fast enough! What an amazing old truck. It's good to know that there are people who will commit to being the caretakers of these old beasts. Wish I could drive it. What a stump puller.
I grow up driving 60's through 80's model trucks and they are nothing like the concrete kings we have today. But that International truck gives you new found respect for the trucking industry in its infancy and humble beginnings! No a.c. no power steering, no air ride, no comfort and no doors. Have mercy we been spoiled brats for a while now. Could imagine building this nation with that kind of equipment, those old timers did!
Sorry I should have waited to the end to comment seen as I have so many already but I have to say that I absolutely love at the top of the cab you can see when someone has tried to weld the roof on. It just adds so much character. Try doing that on the trucks of the day. It just adds so much to the amazing and very cool factor!! Ty for putting it up for us old fellas and ladies as well of course.👍🇨🇦
Fun to watch video. Good old truck and built like a tank. Hand cranking though was tough to watch. I have old tractors that I have hand crank but I stand on the other side and pull over the top from 9 to 2 or so.. Reason is when the crank handle comes back at you standing the way you both did you'll know it. I have the memories and had bruised legs to talk about. Love that add on accelerator wire. Something I'd do.
I'm an old freightliner tech and seeing the old hard hat brings back all the memories of pull clutches with the motor mounts on the transmission. Oh yeah and ice cold air. Especially the ones with dual evaperators. Looking forward to checking out the channel 👍🇨🇦
So fucking cool u love all this stuff when stuff was made to work not made to fail I hope there's plenty of people keeping these type of things alive for the future
@@machinerydoctor rail locomotives had those pockets in the front beam for pushing cars in yards. The engine would be on a parallel track to the one the cars were on with a metal pole or even a wooden beam nestled into the pocket on the loco and the cars. I believe there's a few videos on them. I'll link one of them.
That scares the hell out of me watching him try to crank start that truck, by pushing the crank into the compression stroke, i keep waiting for it to kick back on him and break his wrist, always bring it from underneath up against the compression stroke until just before it pops over the point of resistance, then quickly snap it over with one hand and allow the momentum of the crankshaft to fire the engine don’t keep cranking on around in a circle, you can hurt yourself real bad.
Great piece of history with chain drive. You will get hurt cranking the way you do! Always pull up- if it backfires it will pull the crank out of your hands. Never push - sure way to break your wrists
love old trucks like this, "we need to move a house, what rating should we go with?" " is 5 tons enough? " "moving a 100,000lb house? oh that should be plenty"
Are those "poling pockets" on the front ... er, frame/bumper? Old railway equipment used to have those, so that wooden poles could be used to push things that weren't actually on the same track.
How come you edited out the part dropping the air suspension when you pinned to the trailer?🤣. Very cool and definitely going to sub and check out the channel. Ty for your hard work putting the vids together. I think that alot of people just think that you turn on your camera and that's it. NOT lol👍🇨🇦
I probably should have mentioned I spent a bit of time at the international dealer and never seen one of those. Nice. How did they go from that to Maxforce. Iucg
There’s a truck very similar to this one located by me that’s been tucked away against a fence,underneath a tree and bushes i always check to see if it still there.I often wonder why it’s left to rot instead be saved.
Please don't take this offensively. 54 was a Torbenson style rear end 54C is chain driven . 74C 1927-> 28 engine similar to a 10-20 IHC tractor engine apart from the engine mounts , after that they had HallScott engines and a different top radiator tank . 54C - 74C - 94C - 104C I've the baby of the four models being a 54C currently under restoration and still searching for parts . Its In very poor condition , as it may have hauled tin ore in a mine far north Queensland Australia . ( Searching its history still ) The 74C had the 2 speed splitter in front of the diff . There is one in the museum from where I saved the 54C from the scrap pile . Herberton heritage museum Lovely unit , great to hear it run and see it move . I hope to have mine running and moving for it centenary in 2027 Chassis # 1088
4:16 Torque. Torque is how you get that. Horsepower is a marketer's tool it doesn't actually do work. TORQUE is what does the work And that's what this engine has in droves.
Always a dance when trying to start these. This particular crank handle has a one way engage notch so when it spins the wrong direction it will disengage. Definitely not safe but safer lol!
I was really hoping they were going to get rid of that little flatbed and then get serious and stick a D9 dozer on it!! but that was really cool. I know where there's a 1912 Mac that's a little smaller than that one. with 60,000 pounds it's just yawning .
This truck wouldn't even know it was there. But the fact that we don't want any issues with keeping this 100 year old beast alive, we will stick with the little flatbed :)
Obviously a city slicker 👎 You never push down on a engine crank 😱. You stand in n front, facing the truck . The crank is engaged so that it points to the 9 o’clock position. You pull up on the crank with your right hand, with all you have quickly. I’ve started many a truck and tractor that way 👍
cool truck, a bit underwhelming as far as excitement goes, but its a cool old workhorse. goes to show you dont need 500 ftlbs to pull anything ( looking at you new trucks)
Thank you Holst Family and the This Old Truck crew! This truck has been in the family for around 90 years. My dad would be proud!

Wow ,,, these old trucks built America helped win WW one .
THANKS FOR SHOWING THESE UNBELIEVABLE MACHINES FROM THE PAST...
Attitude is everything,right?
This truck has tonnes of it.
Keep the videos coming,ok.
and its nearly 100 yrs old and still runs way cool
WOW....BEAUTIFUL OLD RIG..VERY IMPRESSIVE..
My grandpa was a house mover. His tombstone has a truck pulling a house engraved in it.
That's awesome.🙂

In Australia IHC made planes for WW2
What a great parade truck that truck and flat bed combination would make.

Absolutely beautiful! I'm so jealous! I'd love to experience operating her!
Always enjoy seeing these old chain drive trucks; Mack, Dixon, IHC, etc. Very nice !

Yeah, it was hard to watch him risking injury like that. I was surprised the owner didn't stop and warn him
Made me nervous and ive never even had to do it, just know how much torque that kick back could have. lol eek
That old Bulldog can move the world!

So cool! Thank you for the vids!
So fucking cool u love all this stuff when stuff was made to work not made to fail I hope there's plenty of people keeping these type of things alive for the future
I've its little brother in Australia
I Hope to have it moving for its Centenary in 2027
I'd love to see another video featuring the interior of the cab and the controls.
Hell yeah.
That can be arranged for sure. Its in storage for the winter but maybe this spring.
Absolutely awesome, love it, yup I want one!
That is a very cool truck! And that is a big chain!
Interesting to see that it has poling pockets in the front bumper.
Could you explain abit more of that term poling pockets please .
I have one of these trucks

I've just watched it .
glad I found this channel!!!!!
This is incredible!!
This truck is spectacular great video
What an awes old truck! Very interesting rear drive train love it
I've always loved International's. The Corn Binders.
That chain drive looks a lot more dependable than an axle! LOVE IT!!!❤️
I had no idea the Lemons owned that.
Holst always brings it to car shows around IF.
That scares the hell out of me

Now this is cool!! I definitely will be subscribing!
I love vintage big trucks!!
Great piece of history with chain drive. You will get hurt cranking the way you do! Always pull up- if it backfires it will pull the crank out of your hands. Never push - sure way to break your wrists
And lose teeth
love old trucks like this, "we need to move a house, what rating should we go with?" " is 5 tons enough? " "moving a 100,000lb house? oh that should be plenty"
100,000 lbs? Your neighbors lawnmower can do that lol
My uncle,Ed had some vintage heavy equipment. He owned a Sterling chain driven dump truck.
Love it old technology great cool
Getting those old magnetos can b a challenge! Gramp's old John Deere has the massive flywheel instead of a crank!
Are those "poling pockets" on the front ... er, frame/bumper? Old railway equipment used to have those, so that wooden poles could be used to push things that weren't actually on the same track.
I just asked another commenter on their term .
But you've answered it
I have one of these Inters
I've played with a decent sized crank start tractor.... will be the last crank start I touch

Ty for your hard work putting the vids together. I think that alot of people just think that you turn on your camera and that's it. NOT lol👍🇨🇦
Local movers had an LTL Mack with a two six bits Cummins and a Mack quadruplex.
I probably should have mentioned I spent a bit of time at the international dealer and never seen one of those. Nice. How did they go from that to Maxforce. Iucg
The front of it reminds me of a WW2 German Prime mover semi- track.
Always pull an engine crank, never push it!
It be cool to find an old flatbed for this
Why is it so unbelievable?
Did they have the brakes on the trailer caged because with no air, how did it move?
I assume that trailer has the brakes disabled to allow this rig to pull it for demo purposes.
Yes we caged the brakes on the trailer.
There’s a truck very similar to this one located by me that’s been tucked away against a fence,underneath a tree and bushes i always check to see if it still there.I often wonder why it’s left to rot instead be saved.

Hey, I know those guys and that truck!!!!!
Looks like a lot of slack in those chains
Is a cool machine glad to see they haven’t repainted it and hidden its history
4:16 Torque. Torque is how you get that. Horsepower is a marketer's tool it doesn't actually do work. TORQUE is what does the work And that's what this engine has in droves.
That's my gradfathers truck
He was a legend, RIP Reed!
That KW is beautiful. Is that a W900?
Yes, the orange one in the background is a 06 W900L.
8:49 You're asking for trouble hand cranking it like that, one backfire and all that rotating mass will break your wrists, or worse.
Always a dance when trying to start these. This particular crank handle has a one way engage notch so when it spins the wrong direction it will disengage. Definitely not safe but safer lol!
What did you do, back the brakes off on the trailer?
Yes we caged the brakes on the trailer.
Where did you get you White Trucks hat?
And the internationals today drive and ride just like that one .
I was really hoping they were going to get rid of that little flatbed and then get serious and stick a D9 dozer on it!! but that was really cool. I know where there's a 1912 Mac that's a little smaller than that one. with 60,000 pounds it's just yawning .

People have gotten killed with old Tractors and trucks not being in neutral when start
I am Max, The Road Warrior.
Anyone ever put one of those engines on a Dyno? That would be cool to see the real numbers.
No compression equals no power.
40hp
Id be wanting to grease it constantly.
SOLID rear tires you would feel EVERY bump in the road 🤣as Jay Leno would say, back when Men were REAL MEN and women were proud of it 🤣🤣
💯 👍
The chain isn't "ridiculous"... It's necessary.
great seen a lot of cars and trucks buts thats cool I wouldn't restore its only oringal once it should be a new penny
Almost only counts in horse shoes & hand grenades. 🤣
Back in the day if you wanted a barn moved you got everyone together like the Amish do today and a if needed tractor no trucks
This proves you don’t need a diesel
Obviously a city slicker 👎 You never push down on a engine crank 😱. You stand in n front, facing the truck . The crank is engaged so that it points to the 9 o’clock position. You pull up on the crank with your right hand, with all you have quickly.
I’ve started many a truck and tractor that way 👍
That's the same as the Ford snowglow
Such a shame to think people actually scrapped these....
Tractor engine in a truck. Similar to a 15-30 or 22-36.
10-20
Very similar , just the engine mounts are different front and rear to the tractor.
I have the remains of 5 trucks
One 54C and 63s 43s & 33
Ouch
YOU FORGOT MOST IMPORTANT SAFETY BE SURE TRUCK IS IN NEUTRAL
cool truck, a bit underwhelming as far as excitement goes, but its a cool old workhorse. goes to show you dont need 500 ftlbs to pull anything ( looking at you new trucks)
Solid tyres damage roads BUT when you have plenty of horse drawn transport around, you have plenty of horseshoe nails to puncture inflated tyres!
Nearly as tough as a Mack.
I undrestand not "wasting" money on whats basically yard art but running it without the airfilter is just idiotic!
They never had an air filter .
I'm adapting an air filter of a similar engined IHC tractor onto my truck
It ain't yard art
F-150 Lightning in 2124?
NOPE.
That is a mack
Most definitely an International.
Definitely an international
