Use to drive over the road in the 60's with a 9000 white, no a/c, no sleeper, just making a living. Brings back memories when I was a much younger man. Thanks for the video.
BOY!...If that old dog could talk! What a fine example of classic american iron. Thanks alot for posting this video for us Teeter. Can't get enough of these old ground pounders!
That's great to see the old beast running again.There is something so sad about seeing old machinery just sitting there and left to rot.So bravo guys,and glad to hear it went to a good home.
I drove a 1964 White 9000td,an old Acme Markets truck , back in 1973.It had a 220 Cummins and 10spd Road Ranger.Those old trucks were so simple and basic. It had a compression release that came in handy.Thanks for the memories it brought back,as that was a great time for me. I just got my Class I as they used to call it.And so began my career in diesel trucks.I just retired 2 years ago,but still love those old trucks! lol.
Love seeing old iron come back to life. We're going to be working on a '56 Chevy car that's been sitting for 34 years and try to fire it up. It has the original motor so we're hoping it will run and be rebuildable.
Congrats! It sounds impressively strong out of the muffler! Thanks a lot for making taping editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck health and wisdom.
Seems like a JN-130 or C-160 i to me! What a great sound! Grew up with these and JS-6-B and sold & serviced 21,000+ Cummins engines in all applications save submarines😂 God bless the souls of great men like J.I. Miller, Don E. Tull, Dick Stoner who were real leaders for all 🙏🙏
I remember as kid seeing a lot of White 'Super Power' gas, 'Mustang's' and diesels. The east coast was good for seeing many Whites, Diamond T's International 's, Mack's, Autocars, GMC 'cannonballs, Dodges, Ford's, and sometimes the occasional Pete, KW, or White-Freightliner. This was along time ago for me as I'm. heading toward 71. Their were also Federal's and Brockway's.
Oh yes love the Old Girl ,time to get her back in shape,White trucks will help the glory and praise don't ruin a original and do a cab rip ,like cars it's lovely when done correctly, best luck building this rare gem
She looks like the one that was in the movie "Convoy".When I turned 21 in 1973 I was put in a 1964 9000TD.It was an old Acme Markets truck from Philadelphia,Pa.My job was to transport rendering products,probably the stinkinest job in the world.I just got CDL (called Class 1 back then) license,and I was in my glory with that old truck and a 38ft. Strick Trailer and my stinky load!
White did have an agricultural division that purchased Oliver and Minneapolis-Moline sometime in the 60s and was later bought out by AGCO. White started out as a sewing machine company and the sons of the sewing machine company wanted to start an automobile company. They did and they made cars and trucks until the mid-teens, when they switched to truck-only production. There is a lot of information available about the history of the White banner available online.
It can be driven legally on the street once it has been restored and passes its federal safety inspection. As it sits, it has a tare weight of 13000 lbs and is 96" wide. It's the same size as a small school bus. There are several trucks similar to this within 50 miles that are on the road on a regular basis.
Nice! My '57 IH with a 220 Cummins sat for 18+ years without starting. Short story shorter, put in batteries and a little bit of ether and it fired right up. Built oil and air pressure and charged right off the bat, too.
Best of luck to ya and great video. Congrats on getting another classic running again. Stuff like this was made back in the day when things were made to last.
I love it, history is back on the road to make more history! I love hearing these old trucks come to life. Lol so much i posted my own videos doing the same thing with my 1980 Chevy Kodiak. I would like to see more of the truck
We had a few of these still kicking around at a concrete company that I used to work for up in New York State we had a Flat bed with a crane mounted on it along with a few 2 old dump trucks and a semi that were all used as yard trucks they were far from being road worthy. We also had about a dozen old Cement trucks that were used for parts supply
This engine is well before any kind of ECM made it into trucks. The only electrical parts on the engine are the generator and the fuel shut-off solenoid, and that is wired directly to the ignition switch. Some of the sending units are electrically based, but they are wired directly to the instrument cluster.
You forgot the “GLO-Plug” that you use when injecting a spray of diesel fuel in to the intake manifold that ignites when contacting the hot plug😊 (Pump, pressure gauge and electric switch on the right hand o f dashboard towards the passenger seat) Ether is for Jimmies that came as plastic capsules in a little cylinder you hit with a key or gsmmer 😂😂😂
I didn't know White used the "block" lettering in'56. Must be the "White 7000/9000's,(Diesels). The Gasser Wb/WC series used the "written script",up until '59,or '60?? These Whites are my favorite trucks,and I am a TRUCK NUT!! THANKS For gettin' her runnin' again!! Hope you restore the old GEM!!
This truck is supposed to have the "script" grill emblem. The block lettering emblem came with it when I bought it and the holes had been drilled into the grille frame. If you take it off, you can see the outline of where the script emblem used to be.
***** If everything checks out, most engines can run after sitting even longer. My '45 Farmall A sat for 30-ish years before I started it up again. If it has fuel, compression, and spark, it will run. Sometimes you also have to have a pinch of luck going your way too.
teeter1939 man you are lucky sounds like earlier she tried to do a run away on you good thing she caught herself in time are the engine would have been toast or if you covered her air to breathe then it would have worked too but still nice truck
The White-Freightliner brand was a joint venture between White and Consolidated Freightways to build cab over engine (COE) trucks in the 60s and 70s. White continued to make their own conventional cab trucks and COE trucks throughout this time frame. Freightliner also made their own conventional cab trucks. Eventually White was bought out by Volvo and Freightliner was bought out by Diamler.
English-Ash I DO, old trucks have always been an interesting thing for me, I was born in 2002 and I prefer the old truck ERA over our "new generation" of Semi Trucks. My Favorite old Truck Brand in Diamond Reo, or Hayes
So that makes you 13 then? Long way to go yet before you look at these old trucks at a classic show or in a museum and say "I used to drive one of those when it was new!"
@51CORNBINDER I'll add the key style master disconnect once the battery box is replaced (hopefully over this summer). Until then I'll keep taking the hot wire off of the batteries and tuck it out of the way. I do the same thing to my IH when its parked for more than a day at a time.
The crane is one of the main reasons I bought the truck, besides it being an antique and stub-nosed. I plan on using it for hauling my two tractors and larger hit and miss engines (some day pipe dream). I plan on painting the whole thing. I'm not a fan of "show room trailer queens", but it will shine when it needs to and get dirty when it needs to.
The TD stands for Tractor Diesel. White used letters after the four digit number to designate the different options the truck had. This truck was originally a road tractor with a 5th wheel. The frame was stretched approx. 6ft. and the flatbed and crane were added. A C-series Cummins with a turbo would be a C-190. There was a supercharged variety that was designated the C-180.
The 9000 means that it has a 90" BBC length, and TD stands for Tractor Diesel. This truck originally had a 5th wheel. The frame was stretched roughly 6 ft and the rear axle moved back to be near the hinges on the bed. You can still see where the axle used to be, this truck had a very short wheelbase for something of this size.
@mastersduhgree Here in NC you have to farm more than 10 acres, sign an affidavit saying that you're using the truck soley for farm purposes, and if you get caught not using it for farm purposes, the DOT will stick it to you in fines. I want to start a tractor restoration business (hence the crane) and hauling rusty lumps back to my shop or shiny ones to shows would draw some attention. It's going to be a bit expensive, but a regular weighted tag will make life easier in the long run.
Nice vid. Keep a CO2 fire extinguisher handy when firing a diesel which has been sat for some time. They can get loose and when that happens spray into the air intake to starve it of oxygen, that will shut it off without doing any harm to the motor or turbo.
I was wondering if it started to run away on oil (maybe put down the bores for storage way back when?) as it was smoking well too... Sphincter tightening moment whatever the reason & glad it died again! Nice to hear an old truck live some more :) Bravo sir
Sos un groso por poner en marcha a esa bestia ahora un par de lijada y pintura un poco de limpieza en la cabina y a la calle te felicito todavia le queda motor ya no los hacen asi con esa polenta saludos desde ARGENTINA para el mundo

Love them old trucks. Thanks for bring it back to life and the video.
I'm glad there is people like you around that wants to restore stuff than scrap it. Love the video man.
This thing has a remarkable starter motor...
Latest update: I sold the truck to help fund buying a house. It went to a good home and is being restored and converted into a tow truck.
Good for you!
+teeter1939 how much u sell it for>
It's called a runaway it's a rare acuranse when vehicles over rev and it's not u doin it it doesn't mater how old the vehicle is
Nice
its due to poor lubrication
wow! a peace of history! great job on getting her going.
Hope to see that babe running down the road sometime....great job guys!!

Congrats! It sounds impressively strong out of the muffler!

What a sound, recently I rescued an old German Magirus Deutz V8 aircooled Diesel,
started right up after 22 years siting in a backyard
Goes to show that old trucks never die!!!!
Goes to show that old stuff was built with better quality!
Nano I ^ That.
Mhm, lol
Beautiful old truck. I want one.

very interested ins seeing the end result..I hope you do restore her to her original glory..keep up the good work
Almost had a runaway great vid love old trucks
True
Seems like a JN-130 or C-160 i to me! What a great sound! Grew up with these and JS-6-B and sold & serviced 21,000+ Cummins engines in all applications save submarines😂

Wow that brings back memories I used to ride shot gun with my dad back when I was 8 years old
Look like that one used to haul newspaper and carbard.
Love the sound old solid diesels!! Never will be duplicated!!
Man, that is a sweet sound to hear her come to life....wow...amazing..hope you get her running/fixed up nice!
Gotta love it when they fire up again I love projects like this .
It can be driven legally on the street once it has been restored and passes its federal safety inspection. As it sits, it has a tare weight of 13000 lbs and is 96" wide. It's the same size as a small school bus. There are several trucks similar to this within 50 miles that are on the road on a regular basis.
Nothing like the sweet sound of an old truck, diesel....
Love the sound of old solid lifter Engines.
Really cool watching one of these ol' fella's coming back to life.
Can't wait to fire-up my 49' International LF-220!
Sounds great, Drew. It's a good feeling to bring a veteran truck back to life.
Nice! My '57 IH with a 220 Cummins sat for 18+ years without starting. Short story shorter, put in batteries and a little bit of ether and it fired right up. Built oil and air pressure and charged right off the bat, too.
Very exciting to see the " rebirth" of a old relic!! Well done!!
Best of luck to ya and great video. Congrats on getting another classic running again. Stuff like this was made back in the day when things were made to last.
nice warm idle sounds like a sewing machine nice and smooth
Nice old truck good to see it running that flatbed and crane would come in handy for pulling old iron from the woods. Enjoyed the video. Phil
thoses old warriors dont die.just need a good man and some love and attention, like a wife .thanx for the show,,
I love it, history is back on the road to make more history! I love hearing these old trucks come to life. Lol so much i posted my own videos doing the same thing with my 1980 Chevy Kodiak. I would like to see more of the truck

Friggin awesome to hear it run again!
My dad drove a twin screw like this for Mobil Oil years ago.
That wos cool i like them old trucks. It brings back some good memerys i have from my chiled hood days. Thank you for your vedieo.

how do these things run after sitting for almost 20 years??

What an awesome truck man. Please take good care of it! Perhaps you'll restore it someday!
park a common rail electronic injection for 18 years and try and start it...... good luck
First semi I ever drove was a White 9000, Cummings 220, 10 speed,single screw with a tag axle. Pulled a milk tank.
i love it wen the old rusty beasts come back to life

Hot damn some body that cares about old Trucks. We need to keep history alive. Unless then it would be lost forever.
God bless
Don't ya just love it? Life after death for this old truck
Yeah

So that makes you 13 then? Long way to go yet before you look at these old trucks at a classic show or in a museum and say "I used to drive one of those when it was new!"
Im not saying I drove one, Im just saying I like the look of them better than todays trucks.
That old truck probably made somebody a lot of money back in the day. Hopefully, it can be restored, and go on to be a useful some more.
Very cool, glad you got this neat machine runnin' again!
Nicley done fellas, sounds good for not running in 18 yrs:) congrats guys :)
@51CORNBINDER I'll add the key style master disconnect once the battery box is replaced (hopefully over this summer). Until then I'll keep taking the hot wire off of the batteries and tuck it out of the way. I do the same thing to my IH when its parked for more than a day at a time.
happy trucking there Teeter,what an old beast...looks like she's a go'er mate.
it's impressing how it still runs so smothly after so many years
Man those old trucks are cool!
The crane is one of the main reasons I bought the truck, besides it being an antique and stub-nosed.

I'm not a fan of "show room trailer queens", but it will shine when it needs to and get dirty when it needs to.
What a beautiful truck
woo. she almost ran away
The trick is to not panic and have a piece of solid wood to block off the intake.
or a huge towel. had a VW diesel that loved to run on blowby- dang thing got 55MPG with my foot completely off the throttle going down the highway
Or co2 extinguisher
@@illidan2ify Hahaha best tip of all
HOpe you get this beauty back on the road soon..great job!
The interior of this truck reminds me of an old 52 Studebaker truck my granddad had..
Man that truck looks mean, love the spoked front wheels.
PB Blaster amazing stuff

Youngun ya need to see more old trucks to understand that they was better back then. Thanks for the laugh.:)

Very nice. Old diesels don't deserve to sit and rot....
love the sound
superb. respect for waking the beast
Nice vid. Keep a CO2 fire extinguisher handy when firing a diesel which has been sat for some time. They can get loose and when that happens spray into the air intake to starve it of oxygen, that will shut it off without doing any harm to the motor or turbo.
Nice tip
Great job, well done!
Cool video, wish you would've kept it. Got pics of follow up restoration?
I was wondering if it started to run away on oil (maybe put down the bores for storage way back when?) as it was smoking well too... Sphincter tightening moment whatever the reason & glad it died again! Nice to hear an old truck live some more :) Bravo sir
Owned one these years ago! What I remember most they were good trucks they were just really hot with a big load in the summer! 😄
Very cool,love the old Whites.
Looks like a boom truck for loading and unloading itself instead of breaking backs.
Love the straight exhaust...
compression fired engines are the best. I love it when engines do what they were made to do,,,, run,,,,,
Sos un groso por poner en marcha a esa bestia ahora un par de lijada y pintura un poco de limpieza en la cabina y a la calle te felicito todavia le queda motor ya no los hacen asi con esa polenta saludos desde ARGENTINA para el mundo
Cool wish I could get a truck like that one day
