It’s a rainy Sunday in JT ville. Let’s dig into the new international loadstar

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

[@kevinballuff1164]

Love those old Internationals, good decision to keep the old carb. Those engines were put in everything from school buses, grain trucks, fuel trucks, and combines. They are "bulletproof", most have had the piss run out of them and keep on plugging, I've had a couple over the years. One had been a county truck, then a water truck for a Co-op, a grain truck for a farmer which I bought from at a farm sale for 400. and then mine. I used it for hauling a little gravel, hauling stuff around the farm, and going to breakfast occasionally, a friend used it when he stripped his roof off. The engine was rebuilt when the co-op had it. It is now sitting in a farm shed as a backup grain truck, I sold it for 1500. One thing I noticed, the engine never stayed clean, it was cold-blooded. Oh, and I had to weld the manifold also, those were notorious for cracking. Hope you have as good of results as I did.

[@Porkchop65]

We had old grain truck just like sully we used as a roofing truck and I had to weld the manifold on it & my weld held for the 5yrs I worked for that guy

[@thomaspetroff9117]

Those old binders are tough as nails. That is a electric shift two speed. If you have power to the motor when you flip the switch to high or low , it's probably a stuck motor or corroded contacts on the limit switch which is inside the box the motor sits on. It stops the motor in each direction. The only problem with that truck, and you will learn to work around it is it's a Tag axle and will get stuck easily. You'll really apreciate Gus for his Twin Screw Drive. Nice truck! Subbed for a while now enjoy your Adventure. TGP

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Thanks! I’ll be looking into that electric splitter soon😉

If the Centri-Vac governor on that old Holley doesn't work, get used to using the tachometer. Those "modern" 'binder V-8s will bend the pushrods if you wind them much past 4000 RPM. Ask me how I found out.

Things to look out for are worn king pins. This series was know for this problem. Carb… any more than a 600 single pumper would just dump fuel down into the motor. The two barrel is fine for the 345. JT you can adjust the little arm on the accelerator pump to make it pump earlier. I grew up with these trucks and I LOVE them.

[@stevenbrown3901]

Hi JT. I think you should paint the grain hauler, white with red JT’s Barn and Grill on the doors. Or JT Farms on the doors. The red lettering, would definitely pop! Heck, the cab is already white, so it should paint up nice, using new white paint.👍😆😮

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

That would be cool 😉

[@arcanewyrm6295]

Between the carb rebuild and sealing the vacuum leaks, that thing should run *_way_* better. Just make sure you take care of the vacuum leaks because they cause carbs to work far less efficiently - you get lean conditions, and the atomization of the fuel is less efficient. Fixing the vacuum leaks will make sure the carb gets all the air it needs to mist the gas properly. Makes it more responsive and really reduces hesitation.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right on!

[@roberthale8407]

2 trucks is good to have for extra storage until you get to the elevator and helps with getting grain out of the field.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

Right! Don’t have the resources to do a small grain bin so I thought an extra truck would be just as good. That’ll keep me going in beans all day and I don’t have to handle everything twice

The old IH trucks we had were electric 2 speed rear axles, I have seen an old 2 speed vacuum shift on an old 1946 Chevy Dump Truck, whatever it is, you’ll figure it out. Shifting them takes a little practice and finesse. It would look pretty sharp, red or black. I would go red, you might get a discount buying a bunch of red for the 1800 and Sully. Thanks for the videos. Have a good weekend, JT.

An old automotive mechanic told me yrs ago to put about 1/2 cup atf oil in the gas tank. He said it helps clean the carburetor plus keeps the gaskets from drying out .

Theres a 99.9% chance both valve covers are leaking and the valley pan.. We’ve had a scout and a travelall and I used to run around with a bunch of guys that had scouts.

If you're doing ignition timing. It's very sensitive to over advancing. If you hear the slightest ping in the engine back off the timing. I have a 392 and once I figured that out, it made way more power. The spec for a 392 is 0 degrees with vacuum advance disconnected. I think a 345 is 5 degree advance.
