Being it is an old wrecker, cylinder one could’ve been used as an air compressor cylinder for a truck mounted tank. That was kind of common back in the day. The international Harvester parts list call for a specific piston to be used for compressing air in those old engines. They were a pretty deep dish piston for more air volume.
@herrakaarme3 жыл бұрын
I had no idea such a thing was actually done. I have heard of whole engines getting turned into air compressors, run by an electric motor, for example, but not of one cylinder of a work truck getting such a role. Quite ingenious, assuming you don't mind losing the power.
@robertnussberger20283 жыл бұрын
That's amazing. Though, I can imagine them having to stop to fill the air tank with that one piston. So I am sure they are not worried about losing power within the engine.

This is a common problem on these flatheads, the valves are stuck in the valve guides. Pull the side covers off and apply PB Blaster to the springs and bottom of valves. Apply heat. Take the starter off and use a pry bar directly on the flywheel. Once you get the stuck valves up then soak more and play whack a mole as you spin the starter. Got my 1950 Power Wagon running enough to get it moving around the yard!

That old truck must have been the pickup version of the original Scout that came out in 1960. The Slant 4 was literally one side of an International (or was it Olds? I'm old) 394 V8.

I am not a Mechanic, but after watching a few of these "Will it Start" Videos, I think that a few steps are almost mandatory before trying to crank an engine: Clean off all Debris (keeps crap from getting into the Engine - Cylinders, Points, Fuel, Air, Etc.), Drain and Replace the Oil (it is usually crap), Drain and Replace the Fuel, Remove the Spark Plugs and Lubricate the Cylinders, Add a New Battery, Check your Wiring and Grounds, Check that the Starter is free moving, try to manually turn the Crankshaft, try to start it. I see a lot of people skip many of these, and it just seems like a bad idea. There may be more "mandatory" steps, but as I said, I am not a Mechanic. I do enjoy every one of these Videos. Love seeing the old stuff and tinkering (even vicariously) is fun.

The clue here is that the first two cylinders won’t drain away the oil. The rings have rusted to the bores. You would need an almighty amount of force to push the engine round with it like that. The only solution is to remove the whole engine and dismantle the pistons from the crank shaft one by one. You might get lucky if you can get the stuck pistons out with the crankshaft still in place. The two stuck pistons look like they are on the bottom of their travel on the crank, bashing them down further won’t help…they have nowhere to go.

My brother still has Dads 1947 KB2 International. All original. Stored inside pole barn. Engine was rebored in the early 1970s. Runs great. Needs brake cylinders. Can’t find any. Might get them rebuilt. Wish I could send live picture. Sounds great.

I think the camera was reversed or something. Glad im not losing my mind

The first part was reversed (mirrored or negative). You can read "truck" on the plate at 24:00. I checked closer, at the beginning and the lettering of the ID plate was reversed.

BEFORE any engine work is performed, an intensive and thorough cleaning MUST BE DONE to the outside to prevent further contamination.

Christmas idea: Ask Santa for a compressor, powered off your pickup. If ever there was a fella who needed one... You'd be him! Cool resurrections! Love seeing old iron brought back from the brink!

Dude, why don’t you clean around the spark plug holes before removing them, come on man
@douglasharley24403 жыл бұрын
lol, the cylinders are rusted up, getting shit in the spark plug holes is not a concern.
