You should put a 12 valve commons diesel motor in it

[@vapewilder7843]

I just have to say that I'm mighty proud of that old starter. It was the real star of the video. It hung in there and cranked as long as you needed it and never complained. Round of applause. I really like how you make those old parts work instead of running to the parts house first thing. I appreciate the way you work. And I really enjoyed riding Dude with you to walmart. It really brought back some fond memories and made me smile.

Starter wasn't doing much work because there was very little compression.

That would be a stanky will it run!

[@allenmkent9141]

It was fun watching you chug-a-lug through that startup. Anything that old sitting that long you pull off the valve cover first thing, and free the valves. Take the carburetor completely apart to clean and put in working order. The timing is too far advanced, thats why its hard starting and backfiring. The air-fuel mixture screw on the carb sets about 1!/2 to 2 rurns out after its seated. Then Adjust while its running. Timing can be adjusted while its running too. An worn out engine doesn't run at peak performance with the using the factory timing spec. It has to be advanced about 3 to 5 degrees from the factory setting.

[@backAtCha9132]

My Grandfather used to describe the options on a truck like this as; Armstrong power steering, stomp hard power brakes, and automatic shift it yourself transmission with optional clutch. Yours also has convenience of a hood mounted gas tank and auto door openers.

[@tommak6516]

I drove pickup trucks and cars from the 1960s with no power steering or power brakes and there was no extreme force required to operate the vehicle. Seems to me power steering and power brakes are unnecessary complication on cars and small trucks. Also crank windows work just fine and air conditioning is unnecessary in the northern 1/3 of the US. Replace automatic transmissions with manual also. Vehicles would be more reliable and affordable.

[@GeneralSulla]

​@@tommak6516Just more stuff to go wrong I reckon. My first car was '63 Chevy Biscayne 3 on the tree with a 283! Old USAF car. Drove it into the ground.

[@pilsplease7561]

Yeah, Power steering feels like it takes more force for me to turn the wheel ironically lol. Also I agree on windows, my car has windows that automatically drop to open the door cause the top of the car has a channel the window goes into and it needs a motor to open the door or you would break the glass dodge did some weird shit with the challengers. @@tommak6516

[@jamesmichael3998]

I really like the old dump truck it's definitely worth saving, great job. An old trick I learned years ago with a stuck open valve if you use a long piece of quarter inch rope and fish a bunch of it into the cylinder through the spark plug hole and bar over the motor that rope can bunch up and push the hung valve back up to free it loose, it's an old trick. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞

[@bnoone3072]

It's also a fool proof way of changing valve stem seals (overhead valve engines). You could hammer on the valves and they won't drop into the cylinder.

[@henrymartinez8202]

155 guys would keep walking by this old boy, but there are a few of you yourself included that have a vison that we can't see. It is incredible how you bring these time machines alive again. You make us better at TurningBolts, thank you.

I like that old truck. On my relatives farm They had a two Internationals . A KB-2 and a KB-5. My aunt and Uncle had an International dealership in Pennsylvania.

You can run a chain through a heavy length of pipe and draw the chain tight by backing two vehicles together till you have just enough slack on both ends of chain to make turns. Grandpa taught me

[@bertlexington7716]

While you had it running … should have taking it back where you got it. You are a great mechanic

[@jonathanmiddleton1141]

I watch a lot of different people on KZbin working on cars and such-like, out of them all, I’ve come to the conclusion, that, in my humble opinion, you have the best taste in music.

[@glenwestphal7510]

With the constant back fire and even with the change over of the other carb , it did it even more , I saw on another channel the guy did all the same stuff as you are doing and was running Into the same issues with it staying running and kept back firing as he's trying to restart it , a watcher of his channel told him that his timing is to rich to turn his distributor cap more lean and he barely moved it and wow that was it and it never have him an ounce of trouble since , I'm not a mechanic by any means , my dad was and he was old school ! I learned a lot, enough to never take even my new vehicles in for repair , do it all myself, even now that I'm a wheelchair ound person I get. y Slef to the ground and work my breaks , oil change , radiator rwplace.ent 2 times this year and an alternator, water pump between the 3 vehicle's we have and I enjoy doing that ki da of stuff , but like you , I wish I had the big shop to do it in instead of the driveway. Keep on keepen !

I worked for an IH Dealership back in the 70s for several years and sold a lot of parts for these old Trucks so I really enjoyed this Will it run episode.

[@Falco45able]

Ignition timing seems to be out a little ,turn the distributor slightly one way or the other, or use a timing light to get it correct!😉🇬🇧

[@RODALCO2007]

Another great video. Persistency pays off. The test-drive was awesome with the odd flame coming out of the carbi and the fuel tank falling off at the end. New subscriber from New Zealand.

[@rexfreelom4300]

That is the key starter toggle switch under the hood and the terminal with connector is rust steel. So clean the rust out that the battery connection is contact touching good then hook up to the electric motor that is motor starter. Then the ignition switch goes thru the fire and finally then goes thru the dashboard. Thanks.

[@aaronhickox6839]

Just wanted to take a minute and say thank you, I love the videos sir. I am happy I stumbled across your channel a couple months ago. The knowledge you shared is great. Ever since I was a young kid I've loved tinkering with small engines, or pretty much any with a motor for that matter. It brings joy to my heart to take something most people would view as scrap or trash and make it work again. It's definitely a dying art with all the computer crap. I've been able to pick up little tricks I never thought of to get something working again thanks again God bless.

[@robertmiller1916]

Enjoyed the video! The oil trick to build compression is helpful. One trick I use to get the engine to pop is to heat up the number one spark plug. Sometimes that works. These old vehicles have a mind of their own!

[@EdselMoody]

😅 😢 good work 🎉🎉🎉😂😂❤

[@rexfreelom4300]

IBM the push button starte that you did sanded the connection inside push button but the push button starter is under the hood. Not under the dashboard because the push button is not fancy enough to be vintage push button Starte.

[@64marine]

That was good luck on No Sheriff's Deputies showing up. No driver mentioned.

[@meruliouslacrimens5154]

So the starter works, its just everything else that needs replacing. My brother-in-law and i rewired an old motor and the only cable he had for the wiring loom was green, so every single cable got replaced with lovely new perfect for the job green wire. It all worked perfectly, but heaven help whoever had it later, i mean as i said it all worked, but you would have no clue as to what was going where.

You know if you're not honest how is anyone else to learn. You said in one of your videos your daddy said to be honest, this is why. Yes, we listen to older folk and listen to their wisdom, but they are older and don't care about how silly they may sound. they just don't care. So your honesty is commendable. I really enjoy watching and listening to you.

[@MaxNafeHorsemanship]

I owned a couple of 52 L110s so this was close to my heart. Those old trucks are the best of any make as long as you don't need parts. They don't rust because the body metal is too thick.

[@braddokken9191]

That was pure artistry watching you get that truck running. Its hard when one or two things are flaky but when spark, fuel delivery, valves and compression are acting up it takes a maestro to get that engine to start. This video also had my interest because there was a 1 ton International, same year, on my cousins ranch. Growing up I dreamed of hauling it off and getting it running. Before I moved back to the area some idiots decided to shoot it up and now there is not much left of it. I was able to live some of my dreams seeing you get this one running. If I ever run across a '50 International, I may have to buy it.

It was a sort of international 1947 I had the original motor RD 500 black Dimond , I say sort of as it was dealer built new motor gearbox the rest well WW2 military surplus , transfer case and diffs where out of a White mobile gun carriage . Cab was ford blitz . Wheels and tyres where British 1200 x 20 and with 6 wheel drive was a bitch to turn till I fitted it with power assist off a Nuffield tractor . Brakes hehe yeah all so fixed with hydronic power assist off a Leyland bus . Good to see old gear working again . 😊

When I was a kid, we knew a family where the husband was a paleontologist. He drove an I-H Travell-All (probably late 1960s). It was a beast. Every summer, he'd drive it a coupla thousand miles from his home to his research site on the Burgess Shale. I don't know how many miles it had on it when they replaced it in the mid-1970s with a Jeep Wagoneer. I always felt like we were heading out on safari in that I-H travellall.

Watching you start that International up, took me back almost 70 years (yeah I'm that old, 79). I remember those 6 bangers would always fart back when they were cold. My first job as a commercial driver, included driving a 55 International one ton, and I am guessing the engine you have, is out of a later International truck.

[@zeonanomusRCHT]

The pucker factor was pretty high when it started rolling back on its own. Gotta be aware of where things will go if things go wrong and stay out of those danger zones, lol. Edit: Probably known advice for everyone here, but if you think some valves even might be stuck on an old engine, taking the valve cover off and giving the valves a few whacks with a soft hammer before you turn it over is a good way to avoid possible contact and a big headache. Also looks like the ol' shade tent took a hit, lol.

Good going in getting this one running. Seems like your total investment this farm aside from the battery, is purchase price, some brake line, points, some spark plug wire, sealer and sundries. Not bad at all! Loved what you did with the carb - remember doing much the same with an engine (rebuilt) that we hauled out of a yard for my Dad's old 1960 Chev: we made 1 good carb from the 2. Thanks for the great work and interesting content.

[@Brock_Landers]

Bud, if I ever come across a car or truck that's been sitting for a while and I try to revive it, I ALWAYS put a cap full of oil down every cylinder before I attempt to start it. The cylinder walls are easily fuel washed and it won't have enough compression to farr up, the oil helps the rangs to come back around. At least enough to build a c-hair of compression.

[@bruceerb8324]

I think that carb popping might be the timing
