Twin stick shifting the 5+4 DT466 IH S1900!

[@jsd795]

Out of all the stupid, I mean super trucker videos on 5&4 shifting that is the only time I've ever seen it done the right way. Used to drive an old Ford with a god awful 3208 cat and a 5&4, total piece of shit but man I got good at going through the gears on that thing

[@J.R.in_WV]

Good old 2 and a quarter Kitty shitter! The first fords to have them they were actually designed to fit in place of a 477 or 534 gasser that was the standard for Fords at the time, basically all they wanted was a cheap Diesel engine that made the same power as a big block gasser but was cheaper on fuel.

[@mr.nobody68]

It was a trick but, I learned 10, 12, 13, and 18 speed Eatons in 2019 to get my CDL-A. Never got to try one of these but would love the opportunity. Great shifting. As a mechanic, I can see that this is more of an art form than a science. Plus lots of timing and rhythm. 4.5 stars because I thought I heard and saw a little grinding. But I've talked to retired truckers who said nobody ever had a perfect day with these things I wanna learn it

[@JacksonGuitarsPlayer03]

Everyone grinds a gear remember that

You culd tell those old brownie drivers when they made the move to a simpler tranny, like a straight 9, or even a bus with a 4 and a two speed axle. They'd wind those so-and-so's so tight make you grit your teeth. lol

I was lost too when I bought her hahahaha

[@dommeister4004]

@@SouthSaskFarmer1 I went back to the shop got in mine and shifted it like this and fell in love with it. Went flawless until the 4spd box got caught in 3rd but I got under it and popped it out and sprayed the shafts with some Schaefer’s lube and limbered it up a lot.

[@wemedeeres4105]

I did a lot of that with the gas tandems we had, only problem was about the time you get through all the gears on those gutless bastards it’s time to start slowing down to turn!

[@SouthSaskFarmer1]

[@leinie6683]

Spent some time driving dump trucks with those things. I was young and thought it was great fun. We skipped some gears because they were so close together Wound the piss outa those tall deck 427 Chevies we had. Never blew one up though!

[@deborahchesser7375]

Leinie we hauled logs with some gas Chevys your right, wound the dog piss out of em

[@anthonykaiser974]

Same with an old IHC 392 we're getting ready to retire (a 1975 Loadstar 1800 grain dump with the same pattern 5x4). Generally only use the 4 speed between 3-4 on the main, and only 3-2, 3-3, 4-2, 4-3, as the gear overlap is ridiculous. The 4 speed 1st gets used off-road, plus to avoid main first. They said the transmission is older than the truck. Shift the 5 speed synchronized trans at 3500, then double-clutch the 4spd up or down.

[@KING-FU]

Dad had a L8000, heavy spec., tandem dump, geared low for local hauling, with a Spicer 5 / 4. As a kid, I can still picture him splitting gears, only now I’d describe it as simultaneously pushing and pulling two mismatched levers on a rattling old slot machine. 🤣

[@shaneholst6940]

Dam good job Nick there not too many guys that can drive a 5and a 4 anymore !👍👍👍😉 The first truck I learned how to drive had a 5 and a 3 it was a 1961 White with a straight 6 gas single cab twin screw and a 650 bushel box!👍

[@pattoohill5307]

Man I don't miss that. When my brothers and I were your age we had a 59 Dodge 700 tandem with a dead axle. We decided that we needed a twin screw. I found a 64 IH loadstar with a henrickson and a 3 speed. The frames were a different size but we made it fit and double framed it. Of course the truck was pretty cool. Lol and we were young. I like my 9 and 10 speed a lot more. Lol

[@jasonnewell6834]

That was totally fucking AWSOME buddy 😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@AndersonCattleCo]

IH put a lot of those 5+4 trans in , not many left now. I drove sugar beet truck with that trans a lot of years ago and my neighbor had 4 trucks like that and everyone drove them different. Mechanic told me that the 5+4 was bullet proof but still the most hated trans.

[@SouthSaskFarmer1]

I can see that lol

[@martinbenton742]

I was a twin stick junky years ago. I had a Ford with a 5+3. You could climb a mountain or fly. I'de reach through the steering wheel to mix gears. I don't miss driving it in the cities. Ha ha. MB BAR RANCH

When I was in the navy I drove a ford that had the same setup everyday from Norfolk to Portsmouth Va at least 3 times a day for about nine months delivering supply's to the carrier I was stationed on. By the end I was really tired of that old truck and sick of shifting so much. Having a fuller is almost like having a automatic next to one of those. Lol

[@larrythompson8630]

I drove one many yrs back. A friend bought a 1968 semi with a 5 by 4. He asked me. I told him the little I recalled. He said he watched videos where you MUST shift both at same time. I was sure I shifted one, then the other. (Sometimes both on same shift but separately. This helps remind me. I was only going 25 miles. Small lumberyard truck, and older farmer grain trucks. So longest strait away maybe 3 miles. Top speed 45 mph and too dang much shifting.

[@iBackshift]

Holy grinding coffee batman. haha. I learned on a 72 x 13 letter shit spreader w/a 392, 5x4. Frank would not allow me to take my hand off the steering wheel. I had to shift the chopsticks one hand. Shifter' rite in the ketchup. Great vidya.

I’m late to the party but I grew up driving a 5+4 in a 66 Fargo with a 413 industrial gas. On the 4 I used 2 in the field loaded, 3 on the road loaded, 4 on the road empty and 1 when backing up to the auger. I never had to shift on the fly unless I wanted to. So basically I just drove it like a 5 speed. I was never shown how to shift on the fly like that. We farmed south of Outlook.
