      Same here. I really have no background in working on cars at all, I only know the basics that most people know. One thing I can see is the older vehicles are probably a lot easier for a mechanic to work on, so much more room and less crap to fix.

    Many years ago I was trying to adjust the timing on a 49 flathead.
    Had a 80 year old neighbor, was watching, and he asked for a glass of water, I thought he was thirsty, he said now put the glass of water on top of the breather. He said now rotate the distributor until the water was level is not wavy. That was amazing.
    Keep up the restorations.

    When you say "it leaks like a screen door", I think to myself, if you don't put out videos more often fixing old trucks, you could try stand up comedy. Beyond the humor you really present a lot of patience, determination, and skill. I watch your videos because I learn things. Thanks for doing what you do. You can turn a very old truck into a treasure.

    Back when I was a kid in the early 80’s over here in Mississippi, I had to help my Daddy haul pulp wood a lot. Daddy would go out and find old international about like this one, get her going, work the dog out of her, and started over with another. Watching these videos take me back to my childhood.

    I have had many of attempted pranks where they show some scary face in the middle of a quite video and I never flinched. You broke that motor free and I ducked and almost filled my pants! 😮 I have done that several times myself and I still can’t contain my reaction of both the joy of the engine turning and the horror of all of the stuff shooting out of the cylinders. Thanks for the great content.❤

    @benjamincresswell3713 Рік тому +16

    Was that your special elixir of ATF and ACETONE? Wow! That was nothing short of remarkable. Thank you for showing your simplified steps to getting it to fire up. I really liked the part where you heat the sparkplugs up and douse them with penetrating ole. The cooling action sucks the oil down along the threads. I watched a spring shop do that to U-Bolts and Nuts and they reused them a lot of times.
    I'd like to add 2 things if I may: 1). My first thing to try is use about a 3' long prybar with a nice flat end and pry between the bellhousing and the starter ring gear teeth. I'm not too sure how to calculate the mechanical advantage, but it's way way more than going on the front dampener bolt or driveshaft. 2). If I can get it to turn over 2 whole revolutions, I don't bother with compression testing, carb or anything else, I gear up for spark and use starting fluid to give it a try. Most of the time if even 1 cylinder "helps" it will eventually speed up the cranking and go on up to several hundred rpms and from there light off. I hold it to only a few thousand rpms until it heats up the whole engine. Then shut off and cool down. After a couple heat cycles I usually have almost all the cylinders helping out. That's just my way of making the initial determination of conditions. If I don't hear rods knocking or see blow'd head gaskets, I consider the next level of investigation. Nice video Jennings. tnx ben/ michigan

You can tell it missed being noticed by someone. I love that era (1940’s - 1950’s), I love the look of it and the sound of it once she started up. Great job!!!

    I have a 1949 International KB2. I purchased it restored and was always curious of what it might have looked like prior to it's restoration. I think your example is probably pretty close. Now I've never owned a international before so to watch these video's helps me if I was ever to have run-ability issues with mine. So, thank you for that! Also, you don't see a bunch of these trucks around and they are not super popular so when I see a video of one I watch it. You never know what you might learn about these ol'girls. Keep the video's coming.. I thoroughly enjoy them.!

    Another fabulous/entertaining video. I have a theory..... You had a relative that owned a wrecking yard. When you were 12, 13, 14 you would spend your Saturdays in that yard equipped with a battery, can of starting fluid and a jug of gasoline. As far as conveyance a picture you with a little red wagon or maybe a golf cart. It was your joy, pleasure, entertainment to see which car or truck you could get running again. I would have loved that. Am I remotely close?

    Excellent work, you got the old girl running. Lucky the engine had compression on all 6 and freed up. The 6 Volts starter has a lot more torque on 12 Volts but will heat up faster when the engine is locked up, although the older equipment was better made and will take some overload.
