In the U.S. alot of the old International diesels started on gasoline and switched over to diesel to run. So oneside was gasoline and the other side was diesel. They were used in farm tractors and heavy equipment.

Loving the ingenuity of keeping the old donk going for a few more years!!......And for 'shoe-horning' in the 2H. Bloody awesome! I may be wrong here, but my understanding is that the 'H motor' and the '2H' were industrial engines originally made by Toyota's sister company, Hino.......hence the "H". I could be wrong, but it sounds like a good yarn, so I'm going to run with it! Ha ha!! Another awesome vid', Steve!! :-)

Our first Landcruiser was a 1986 60 series but it had the factory fitted turbocharger. We traded it up to a 100 series but the turbo model had not been released in Australia then so had to settle for the naturally aspirated diesel. Certainly noticed the difference, so much in fact we got rid of it and bought a 2006 model Sahara with turbo diesel which we still have . Thanks for the video Mate

Hi John yes they weren’t really powerful without the turbo. Reliable but steady. Great vehicle all the same. My pleasure
@graeme029 ай бұрын
Toyotas are practically bulletproof if you look after them. I've had my Landcruiser since I brought it new in 93. All my mates said I was nuts to pay $52,000 for it back then but, it will still take me anywhere. Those same mates have been through dozens of cars in that time so, it was cheap in the long run. It's still great to drive.

As i said many times, real educational videos. Love to hear about your wildlife. Today is Thanksgiving in the states, a real family day. The remainder of my family is out of state but we talk often. You have my support mate, as always a real pleasure watching your videos. Jim Rioux

Thanks Steve love the vids. Loved the one on UD diesel 2 strokes as I am a big fan of the Detroit and I knew nothing of the UD. I am sad too as it looks like there was not enough interest in the Acco story. I thought it would be so interesting one. I remember them from the early stages of my carrier and do vagally remember changing gears on one, only a few times around the yard as it had sort of been retired.
