- This antique International truck was left to rot in the woods! Can we get it started, and on the road again?
Keep up with me on social media!

Why didn't you prime the carburetor
Cause its a new truck.
My question as well. Maybe check for spark too.
That truck definetly deserves to be roadworthy again. Good vid.
That was insane 👍

Yep I agree with you
It needs me

I felt so happy to see the old girl pull herself out of years of neglect! Hopefully she's getting restored to her former glory and being looked after on her dotage!! 😁😁😁
Those International R lines were very popular in the 50's and 60's ! My grandfather had one with that straight 6 engine. Excellent truck !
This is a testimonial to these old engines and their resilience! It's amazing how when you first started it it actually was idling on its own! Great video!
Yeah, try that with a modern BMW after 50 years in the forest 😂
I would think checking electrical system like coils, points, ground, etc would be right after oil check/ change. Of course you’ve got to see if it will crank a little. That will be one heck of a truck if it’s totally restored. One mean machine.
Anyone who can get an old truck like this to run again is a very good mechanic!! I admire his skills. I like that old truck!!
oh man I Love old internationals. I just watched someone else dig one of these, almost exact trucks too, out of the weeds. It was used in the Oil industry and used for Drilling . Had what looked like the attachments and all the equipment attached to the rear ... it was a Beast . I rem driving one of these old trucks when i was a kid, uncle had a few and some were turned into Forklifts, Massive forklifts for Logging, was a thing in Northern Canada. They would remove the cab from the front and slide it to the rear and stick on the lift and whatnot to the rear and would drive backwards. A lot of them were all controlled with levers, no steering wheel , all hydrolic, however ya spell it. I must have driven a dozen of those home made forklifts, and they were Huge.. So much fun to drive and operate when your 8 years old :) They made do with what they had back then, thats for sure .. Great memories these trucks bring back . Cheers .
I love these old American trucks and pickups and it fascinates me how robust they are, starting after decades abandoned. Great content. Thank you. Best wishes from New Zealand. I look forward to more footage. Good luck.
There's something really satisfying about even watching a video like this. While it's easier to wake up some of these old workhorses than newer vehicles, it still takes some effort to get that far. Hope she makes herself useful as a street legal tow truck
Really nice find. I saw the factory split exhaust, with right mufflers it will have great exhaust note.
That was a great place to end it. Can't wait for the next episode !
Me eather!
@@Dan-xf7bh ,
Me *Either*.
God Bless! I don't know who's more thrilled! You for getting it going or us for being lucky enough to see it happen !a big thanks...
One of My favorite trucks growing up,town dump trucks! 1957 international dump trucks,cool!
Yikes, it has some seriously square rear wheels! 😄 Small wonder, after sitting out there for all these years.
Good job returning this beast to life, and good luck with the restoration job!
Totalmente de acuerdo
There you go clean and adjust those points. Good luck with the make shift tab in the distributor. You need a squirt bottle for filling the fuel bowl. A old Ketchup bottle from a restaurant or a flea market works great.
Beautiful truck thanks for saving her. Used to drive in the late 70s__a '57 rdf190, straight6 petrol, twin stick with tandem drive pulling a logging trailer. 280 mile round trips.
Good job on getting the old truck running .I hope that you are able to restore the old truck to the former glory, that it had, in years gone by; both mechanical & cosmetic.
The Red Diamond engine came in various sizes from 318 to 501. Most were 372, 406, 450, or 501. Peak hp was around 3000, and peak torque around 1600.
Thanks for the information.....!!
Doubt the had 3000 up maybe 300 at very best
@@gregorybarth930 3000 rpm, not horsepower and 1600 for the torque rpm. ;)
Nice rig. Good job getting it running. Look forward to the next one.
No matter how many times he says "let's fire it up" and it doesn't, at least he keeps at it. He also is very innovative in trying to get this old truck back to life.
Yes he is determined
I have a 1989 dodge ram D50 which I'm trying to get going too.his video encourages me
That's a cool truck. I love internationals. I'm so happy that people give to love to trucks that are in need!
You can crank it until you burn the starter, check the electrical. File the points, then worry about the other stuff . Great find.i like it
The simplicity is remarkable when compared to todays vehicles. I used to work on vehicles ALL the time. Now I rarely open the hood and then to jump start something.
I would also like to know what happened to the people who was going to work on the tractor and what suddenly happened to them that they just had to abandon such a project that back in the day would have been extremely expensive and probably very necessary to operate the farm? 🧐😉
Probably passed away. I see that too often. Couldn't complete the project and they are selling the land or have no interest in repairing it
Eventually Id love to find one like that to haul my Farmalls to shows! Great find!
What a great effort and success ! And a celebratory camera smack at the end. Hope to see how you progress getting this International on the road. Really enjoyed this, so thank you.
There was a truckie in Australia that converted one these R190s to a tilt bonnet and put a Detroit 6V71T in it. One of the best looking truck's of the time, late 50s. Hope you can tidy it up.
Beautiful old truck thanks for saving her, drove a '57 RDF 190 Straight 6 petrol, twin stick, with a tandem drive, pulling a tandem axel logging trailer back in '77s__ the truck was 6 months older than I was.
Hope you do more videos like this. Love your channel man. 🇺🇸
Man way back in 1974 I worked for a large concrete construction road pavers. They had a few old. Corn binders hauling concrete on with mixer tanks on back. They were rough but worked. Thanks from. Sc.
Perfect! I hope the camera is OK for the second video! Great work.
kudos for getting this antique truck running. as you can see there are plenty of antique out there if you can Put in some TLC to get them running.
That’s awesome. Keep the videos coming. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome video mate thanks for sharing your story another one saved Wayne Perth Australia
Good looking truck , nice find 👍👍🇺🇸
Awesome truck. Would love to own something like that in a bit of a smaller version
Very cool!!!!!!!
I like these old videos of trucks and car..will they start after sitting all these years?
Get spark first/ Crank it over without plugs and get oil pressure up/ refit plugs and get running by tipping fuel down carb save all that messing
Or get an oil pump primer and get oil pressure before the first crank. :)
@@amcken9316 I was thinking of just getting it going with basic tools in average tool box/The cranks wet with oil for ages so without load should be ok
@@timothypotts4449 I made some from old distributors. :)
I don't know young man... For someone who does not want to damage the starter... I won't send this, but learning that it wasn't frozen up was good enough to look under the cap and check everything before such over-cranking.
Then placing the fuel container just above the open carb on a first-time start after a MINUTE (decades). Have you ever seen fire jump from the overwhelmed carb?
I HAD to sub to you mate , Love watching old gear put back to running order . And im all about Learning things . Thank you for doing what you do good sir. Cheers.
Thanks 👍
Those old IH gas inline 6 cylinders are just about indestructible.
yep just about all ihc engines were indestructible they never built a automotive engine all ihc engines are industrial engines and built to run at a sustained rpm for long periods which would kill most auto type engines this engine i believe is a red diamond 450 and has a 100% duty cycle at 1800 rpm
IH did build automotive type engines for their pickups Travelalls and Scouts. They had the Silver Diamond series inline 6 the Black Diamond series then later the 152 slant 4 cyl. for Scouts. They produced the 304,345 and 392 v8s for their pickups and medium duty trucks. They did not produce automatic transmissions. Their last trucks had Chrysler torqueflite automatic (727) trannys.
Sounds great!
Brilliant old Inter R190 ,,king of the road in the early 60s ,,, from memory they had a 405 cu in motor ,, Big rig in Australia in its day.
The old R-190's were some of the original trailer truck freight tractors, 'R' meant road, as in over the road trucking. My dad drove a great looking red R-190 with black fenders that ran out of Birmingham, Alabama starting in the late 50's.
is this a r190 i didnt see the badges so i wasnt sure i thought it might be a r200 or r220
@@scootertrash911 r is just the series that came after the l series you could get anything from a r110 1/2 ton pickup to a tractor like this i dont remember what the largest sizes was but i know they went up to r220 but id have to dig out a ihc brochure from 53 to 55 i believe. the l series wasnt much diffrent from the latter just a little cosmetics i believe like a different grille
I love it. I enjoyed it. It’s always fun getting these old trucks running again. After you pulled out. I saw you knocked the camera down at the end of the video. But still good job getting it running.
The truck knocking the camera before the video ends was absolutely captivating.
Like the dead coming back to life to haunt the living on the road
Lovely old truck and in good nick,look nice with some paint on her.
Well done! It's a miracle the windows weren't shot out over time!
I really liked it very cool, love the camera fall, just keep on truckin. Well done.
I love that truck. Glad you got it running
Awesome video Man !!! Love that truck !!!!
Great, we want update on that truck! Very nice video too, subscribed 😊
What a time capsule, a winch truck in the middle of s project and pulled a Rip Van Winkle falling asleep.
Yes Yes Yes :)
We had one like this with a dump bed on it. My Dad also used it to haul coal, gravel, sand, just anything to make a dollar. I drove it in the fields at a very young age. My Dad would put it in low range and low gear, then set the hand throttle for me, then step out on the running board so I could drive! One thing that sticks in my mind was the electric Arvin heater. Instant heat on those cold mornings. No waiting for the engine to heat up. We used it hard. Pulled stumps with it. Got tractors out of the mud with it. Just a workhorse.
Good call on the siphon bulb and nice work getting it running!
It’s not like you couldn’t see what it needed after the first visual look see. Wetting the carburetor with fuel really helps. A little startling fluid for a kick. Not much experience but you’ll get there.
Got to love old school technology . I love the old trucks
This is an awesome find. The whole scenery looks amazing..im jealous
It doesn't look like a commercially manufactured log cabin. This is all hand fitted with notched corners. Commercial ones have staggered corners.
Where is this? State or province at least. Just curious.
I'd be surprised if the taxes have been paid, which means the town took it over. Anyone can look into it and possibly pick up a bargain. The property size could be a surprise, one way or the other.
This place deserves a caring owner.
I subscribed and love that old Binder,now you have GOT to go back and get the IH tractor!Bring it home and put it back together!
These trucks are very popular as coach bus conversion in the Philippines back in the 50's, they looked like a giant school bus.
I woulda checked the points first. Thanks for the video !
Awesome video ! Thank you !!
Nice old truck!!
Que caminhão com estrutura ótima aí merece uma mecânica Cummins diesel um forte abraço dos brasileiros
Pretty darn cool that it started and moved !!!!
Cool Tow Truck ! thanks for not giving up.
Rode with my dad many times in a 1953 International hauling bricks.
All hand work, before they used pallets.
He preferred the gas engine over the diesel because he could work on them easier.
Full Custom Garage can fix that truck perfect
They should've used that truck in the 'Wrong Turn' films ! 😂👍
Love this adventure. If you try this at home; bring plenty of fire extinguishers. Expect the carb to leak like a sieve, rodents to have chewed on the wiring, the exhaust to leak in all the wrong places. Expect the clutch to be froze and the brakes locked up, no oil where there should be and water where there shouldn’t.
I was saying maybe the handbrake is on and you release it, awesome job getting it working again
i have a 1970 IH school bus. i think it has that same motor. guy i got it from said its a 406. they drove it from Cailfornia to Pennsylvania. said it got 6 mpg! gas was cheap back then.
I am impressed it ran so good. Usually when they sit a long time, they run but they run poorly because the valves are stuck or the carburetor is gummed up
Now THAT is what you call a good video end!😋
Well , you sure kept working on this ' old girl ' until you finally got her going again. Kudos for your perseverance. Great video.
0:44 oh I REALLY like the body lines and stance of that truck! That one I’d be proud to repower and keep in my fleet!
It needs a Maxx force diesel swapped in
Hell yeah!!!!! She has a whole new life brother!!! Great job!!! I love seeing this
Here for the whole show u folks r smokin some good reefer down there way to clean out those woods
When doing that so you don't burn the start up fill the fuel bowl first through the vent on top
I love watching old vehicles drive out of their grave.
WOW... how old is this truck and how long did he stuck there?
This track made a marca and presence in los Caminos de la muerte en Los Yungas Bolivia.What a memories!! GREAT JOB!!
Great subject (very old truck) great video (Detailed, but not overly) and congratulations on geting it running. Sounds wonderful! Would make a good, "Bombing around the property doing work stuff" vehicle.
Old is gold That till date they still crank and smooth sound reveals the highest degree of engineering marvel.
Modern vehicles life span is 15 years or 5 lakhs kilometre
All the best
What a truck! Good find
I was going to give you guff over that broken spark-plug, but you came through like a thoroughbred, lol, except for cleaning the points right off, did you really think there was a chance the points didn't need it?,🤭, and you missed the wench-shot after immediately talking about it, but I'm sure that sort of stuff will get better with time,🙏, awesome video, thanks for sharing.
I would made this my daily. put an diesel engine in it and some comfort stuff, paint it.... better than any suv hahaha
that red diamond engine is built better than most diesels nowadays 100% duty cycle at 1800 rpm but wont get the mpg that a diesel would the best option for a diesel for that thing would be a dt360
@@ozarkmike735 sure, I´m not thinking in modern diesel. old school with mechanical injection! no electronics, no emissions, but strong heavy metal.
@Oliver Roedel well you have to have some electronics. You ain't hand crankin a 5.9 or a 7.3 in the winter 🤣
@@jaceb7136 electric is ok, electronics I don´t like in vehicles
@@jaceb7136 id advise you to look up air start or spring starter or inertia starter not everthing has to rely on electric shit
When I seen that big IH I just couldn't pass by.
Whenever you're bringing one back from the dead, fill the carburetor Bowl on the initial startup through the vent. Disconnect the fuel line and put on a fresh Supply.
Crank and enjoy
If it gives you a hard time poor a little oil down its gullet it boosts compression.
Or as you found out start playing with the ignition.😅
Love how the video ended with you hitting the tripod 🤣🤣🤣
Just sitting here waiting for him to clean the points.
kewl truck
Great effort getting that oldie going again! Good job! Have fun! 👍
G, day a good job get ii running looks like a inter R190 truck 1950/60s a gem
Awesome video awesome truck awesome ending.
That was awesome! A bit of work, but you got it out.
When you did the lube job , that was a home run move. It helped out , and made the old boy feel loved So it cranked UP.
Just a tip... fill the carb ahead of time through the vents, saves on the starter. Running over the camera was a great ending.
I hope that you can get it on the road again, those International trucks are cool !
