for the batteries connecting the positive side first leaves the system without power until it is grounded power flows from the negative pole to the positive . thanks for the videos. ps the hood clips engine blanket or sound insulation but with the block heater i would venture a guess its spent time where there is serious winter not the florida variety.

[@r.ccustomtruckingsydneyaus4632]

wish you would make Wyle a shirt. . great show guy. you guys are like best mates that get on very very well and that makes a great show . I learn so much off you guys. love your show. even mumma bear doing the intro. its new keep this content coming. motivation is so great

[@toddmabey1299]

Hank....those plates on the inside of the hood butterflies are there to hold soundproofing insulation. I suppose the insulation was there to keep warmth in the engine compartment during the cold weather (in the much colder climates than Florida!). The insulation sheets were fiberglass with a foil like covering on the outside. We had a couple of Autocars of that vintage....one my Dad bought brand new in 1979.

[@robertbullcarmichael9856]

Yep. Insulating blankets.

[@bertgrau3934]

I think the insulation was to protect the paint from extreme heat, and hopefully last longer than one summer.

[@toddmabey1299]

@@bertgrau3934 you very well may be right on that....it makes sense since those butterfly doors are kinda thin to keep the weight down

[@roycepruett5862]

International Fleetstar is a series of heavy-duty trucks that was produced between 1962 and 1977 by International Harvester. Slotted above the Loadstar and below the Paystar and Transtar conventionals introduced after it, the Fleetstar was the first truck line that International designed specifically for vocational use.

[@cherokeeoutlawmartiel5340]

I can remember as a boy. The company my dad worked for bought him a brand new 1976 International Trans Star 2 Bicentennial Edition cab over. It had a big cam 400 Cummins and a 13-speed road ranger transmission. It would flat out get on down the road. Before that, he drove a cracker jack box jimmy. He hated that truck because he stood 6foot 6inches tall.

Great video, Hank. They don’t make them like that anymore. That was one tuff strong truck back in the day. Thanks for sharing.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

For sure!

[@noelwarner1235]

I would think that's a very restorable truck being in Florida there is very little body rust. I most definitely would relocate the batteries from inside the cab I've never seen that before that's just a little bit of a safety hazard

[@davidbarnsley8486]

I bet that truck is from way up north we’re it is very cold , the block heater and I suspect those little squares held insulation in place to keep heat in the engine bay 👍👍

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Good guess. Makes sense. I know it spent many years down here, but it may have started up North for sure. 👍

That owner just lets those rot. Apparently will not let parts go for a decent price. Let them rot then. Some people are like that. Just a hoarder.

[@jasonkuehl639]

The steel plates on the hood might have held insulation in place, could be for sound deadening or temperature control in really cold climates (fits with the possible bl9ck heater cord, too)

[@HorsepoweredRims]

My thoughts too!

[@brocluno01]

Definitely for under-hood insulation. Batteries under seat to keep them from freezing. With the block heater, that truck came from up north. Formula 290 was a combination built by Cummins for fleet operations. It's not the HP. If that was house mover, the beefed frame was for carrying extra "traction weights" as the house was on dollies. So no tongue weight to help.

[@majorkg8106]

It may be a bad starter solenoid, I've watched other start videos and it made that clonk noise, he changed it and it started.

[@RODALCO2007]

Great video, more batteries in parrallel = more amps. Yes, a part 2 would be great. Thanks

[@jamesbagos3459]

That suspension looks like Mack camel back rear ends, not rockwells like they normally had

[@richardneale246]

You've got to come back and give the old Autocar a second chance. Great video you two.

[@gmcjimmy3580]

I know they're expensive but you guys may really benefit from a 12+24 volt jump box some of them will turn stuff over without a battery at all.

What are those 2 shifter looking handles up on the back of the cab while Hank was installing the new batteries? Looks like air lines going in/out of them

Air controls for the winch,1 for the brake band,other for the dogs to engage or disengage the winch drum

[@rickey5353]

Probably some underhood insulation was tacked on there.

[@dennismackiewicz9256]

[@J.R.in_WV]

The numbers mean as much as the letters when it comes to the old IH trucks…the 1600-2000 series were the loadstar and fleetstar, aka medium duty to light heavy trucks, the 2070 being the biggest model (the “7” in the model number denotes HD diesel engine, a 5 would be a light diesel, and gas I can’t recall, maybe a “2”. Anyhow the 4000’s were the Transtar range, which were class 8 road trucks, the 4070 being the cabover and 4270 and 4370 being the hood trucks, short and long respectively. The 5000 was the Paystar , the on/off road heavy vocational truck line with both a 5050 and 5070 available, the only model in the 5000 range back in the IH days although more were added later once IH became Navistar International. The last of the Transtars was the 9000 series, the 9200 and 9400 were aero models and the 9370 replaced the old 4300 series. The 9600,9700 and 9800 were the last of the cabovers.

[@kirk467]

Hank and Wiley, have you seen Matt’s Auto-Car he’s using one his channel Diesel Creek? It’s awesome and he might know a lot about the Auto-Car trucks! Just saying brother’s! Enjoyed your videos Hamilton Farms! 👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@nateyb3580]

Y'all made mention of when the circa these trucks ran to. I do believe it was 1987....u may find a couple "named" 88's, that was the last of the metal fenders and butterfly hoods. This is when Volvo got involved and pulled A-car out of Pa and moved them to Utah. However, I do know Western Star used that same cab into the 90's and I believe Volvo/Autocar might have kept it around a couple of years for their vocational trucks but they were pushing hard for that "New Spaceage" look cab for that time.

[@exploreeverything336]

The star rating on international was to represent the weight series all the way from one star being light duty all the way to six star being the heaviest load capability.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

👍

[@J.R.in_WV]

That suspension is a Rockwell 6 rod suspension, tough but hard to get parts to Re-bush these days. I like Hendrickson better just for simplicity but it’s still a tough setup. I’d bet that truck had a winch on it from day one, the auxiliary transmission behind the 13 speed almost guarantees that’s what it had from new because that’s one of the only reasons to order a truck with a road ranger trans and still have an old auxiliary trans behind it, it gives an extra low hole and overdrive as a bonus but the big reason is to run the mechanical winch forward and backward at variable speeds. And before anybody says “blue button means 8ll or 15 speed, not 13”….that’s true since around 1985 but the OLD original Eaton 13 speed knobs had a blue splitter button and a single Phillips head screw holding the top plate on the knob…that’s what this is. Back in the day when this truck was built the 8LL and 15 still used the old style range selector valve that clamped on the stick with hose clamps and had the deep reduction switch on the dash.

[@chipps1066]

Loadstar-medium duty truck aimed at farmers and inner city commerce.Fleetstar-otr trucks designed to be sold in fleets to otr commerce companys,more sparsely equipped and priced according.Transtar-High end conventional and cabover tractors for long haul otr commerce companies and owner operators.Paystars-severe service trucks aimed at the construction industry,IH constuction equipment was the PAY line,but Paystars were in the oil industries as well as heavy logging or wherever a severe service vehicle was required.

If you'd been able to get the horn to work, you would have heard the song, "I've got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle" by Kay Kiser and his orchestra. That's what the metal squares under the hood are for: accompaniment to the horn as they drove down the highway.

[@jurgenkuhlmann9194]

Hm, this reminds me of Matt a.k.a. Diesel Creek who has two Autocar trucks, one painted orange (running) and one bluish green one with a busted transmission. Maybe you could help him out.

[@ghorner11]

You guys always need more batteries. You should have at least 4, fully charged, heavy duty batteries with you every time you go to do a "Will it start?" video on top of a truck to boost with. You're dealing with all heavy equipment - not light duty trucks.
