1973 International Transtar CO 4070
During the 1960s the DCOF-405 or "Emeryville" was the top seller among American trucks for four years.
In 1965, International Harvester introduced the CO-4000, replacing the DCO-400. Featuring a larger and wider cab, the CO-4000 was distinguished by a large trapezoidal grille, a design feature that would be used on International cabovers into the late 1990s. For 1968, the CO-4000 was given an update, with the standard engine becoming the turbocharged IHC DVT573 diesel V8 with optional diesel Cummins and Detroit Diesel engines. Internally known as the CO/COF-4070A and as COF-4090A (with a raised cab), the new truck was marketed as the Transtar.
For 1970, two new models were introduced. A Super Transtar featured a Detroit Diesel 12V71 V12 engine, allowing for loads of up to 144,000 lbs. The all-wheel drive Unistar was introduced; the truck was fitted with a freewheeling front axle, powered when the drive system detected loss of traction from the rear wheels; the Unistar was sold through 1972.
During 1974, the Transtar cabover underwent a second upgrade, becoming the Transtar II (CO/COF-4070B).[2] Visually, few changes were made between the two vehicles, although a Transtar II is distinguished by windshield wipers mounted from the top of the cab. Under the cab, to accommodate trends towards larger-displacement engines, International modified the engine lineup. International offered its own V800 turbocharged diesel V8 (replacing the DVT573), with Detroit Diesel introducing the 8V92 V8 (in place of the 12V71), the Caterpillar 3406 six, and several Cummins engines, including the 1150cid KT-450 six (among the largest engines ever fitted to a roadgoing vehicle).
In 1981, the Transtar II CO 4070 was discontinued, replaced by the CO-9670, the first of the Newport Series cabovers. Sharing little more than the trapezoidal grille with the Transtar, the 9670 (also branded as the XL-Series) shared its doors with the Transtar 4300 conventional. In a significant break from precedent, the interior of the 9670 and its successors were designed without any intrusion of the engine or transmission (leaving a flat floor). The final Newport-series cabover sold in North America was assembled in 1998.

International 4700 DT 408
The Navistar DT engine family is a line of mid-range inline-6 diesel engines. With horsepower ratings ranging from 170 hp (130 kW) to 350 hp (260 kW), the Navistar DT engines are used primarily in medium-duty truck and bus applications such as school buses, although some versions have been developed for heavy-duty regional-haul and severe-service applications. Prior to 1986, Navistar International, then known as International Harvester Company, used the DT engine in farm and construction equipment.

Awesome job on the video love the 1979 john deere 6600 combine nice job God bless you 👍
Great video like to see the older combines still working.👍👍👍👍👍👀
You're doing such a great job at showing everyone the way you see the world! Thank you for this!
Nostalgic seeing that 6600 operate so smooth. We had a 6600. It brings me back to my youth
I have a 6600 and it’s still doing a great job.😅
That old 79 John Deere Combine and that 74 International Transtar takes me back to that time, when I wore a younger mans clothes, actually a teenager's clothes.
"Nothing Runs Like A Deere" 🦌👍🇺🇸
Love this concept! Chasing the harvests across this great country! Thanks for filming these older machines, too!
Thank you for watching!
Love that old IH. The combine make me feel likes it's 1987 all over again. Really neat stuff there!!
I really like what you choose to film. I like the how you get the countryside in your posts , it gives a good picture of how many people choose to live. Small farmers are some of the best in the world.
He stopped and filmed my 92 year old father shelling corn this year.
Thank you very much. I have about 25 more videos to upload that show some pretty cool farms. Have a great day!
It was a honor to film your dad this year! I told many other farmers/people about him and his service to our country. I hope to catch you guys again for Harvest 2021.
@@libasan i hope so too.
I like that you leave the sound of the machines rather than cover it up with crappy music like most harvest videos. 🤣
Glad you enjoy it!
I concur
Can't get any more down to earth then this with the mud on the side of the second truck describing the TranStar also was a Plus keep up the good work later
Thanks for watching!
That Transtar sounds like there's a Detroit in it. Love those trucks. Especially the 79 models
Yeah I would have liked to heard that thing take off down the road
@@barrybardo3249 When I was in my late teens there was a fish market at Reelfoot Lake here in West TN. They had 2 79" model Transtars . Both were black and chromed out. Man those were the nicest trucks in their day.
I wonder how many bearings, chains, belts and sprockets had to be replaced over the years ??
Awesome video, thank you.
Thanks for watching! #harvestchaser
There is that little green car again lol
Nice catch! #HarvestChaser
If he dumped the partial could've made a full round. Got a 1978 6600 SH. Nice sample.
must rare,6620 was intoduced in fall of 78
Con una igual me ensene. y son muy buena. y es idostratica me encantan
The size I learned on how to run a combine
I hope for Harvest 2021, I will be able to catch a ride with a grain cart operator-I have never had one before. It would be awesome if I could drive it too! Thanks for watching.
@@libasanI rode in the cart tractor once
I have a neighbor still running a 4400.
Loves the videos, great to see a face with the channel. Can you show us your set up?
I use a GoPro Hero 9 & 7 and a GP 3 way grip. I remove the bottom of the grip (tripod stand part) and place it on to a long golf ball pole that my neighbor provided me. I can adjust that pole to different heights and the grip works well on it. I also use a Nikon D3500 but I am not happy with the quality of that camera. Thanks for watching.
If John Deere was smart they would start making these old beauties again for the small acre farmers they would bank.
Lot of trouble opening the field up. Maybe its time to rethink how you plant it.
Looks like that 6600 has RWA, if it does I have never seen them with RWA before.
Our 1978 7700 has it
То чувство когда джоник 79 года лучше современного ростсельмашевского комбайна😅
Thank you watching! It would be great to visit Russia one day to do some harvest chasing. I hope to ride the Siberian Express trains there in the future.
Привет.
most likely a 78 since deere had the 6620 in 79.
Where is that place?
Washtenaw county, Michigan-thanks for watching!
Are you shure it is a 1979 6600 as i had a 1979 7720 and i am not shure when they changed from the 00 series to the 20 series
Yea we had a 1979 7720. First year of production.
Yeah, I confirmed twice with the farmer. I also filmed a 1978 John Deere 6600 back in 2014: ua-cam.com/video/-agnoWN8hYc/v-deo.html Thanks for watching.
@@libasan the last model year was 1978, all 6600 and 7700 combines came with In cab auger extension. Also one important detail was that the top of the cab has a slightly smaller ac intake that only takes up about 1/2 of the back of the cab from where it sits in the middle
78 was the last year for 6600 and 7700. They made the 4400 1 more year, however a lot of the part numbers are for a 4420 even though the parts are the same and interchangeable. They also changed the rotary screen to the 20 series style in the 79 model, but they didn’t change the cab and add the hydraulic fold on unload auger until the 80 model year, which was an official 4420 . So a 79 4400 is kind of a hybrid.
I don't understand this row pattern
Looks like the head on the 6600 is a 643 hi tin harvesting 6 rows of 30 inch corn. The planter that they planted that field with was a 12 row as I see in the clip at 3:30. So this set up is pretty common for this machine and his corn head is period correct as the low tin corn head came out later.
