My father and uncles work for the Van Buren county road commission up in Michigan back in the 1970s . The plow trucks for plowing snow on the roads in the winter time had huge v plows on the front they were bright orange 5 yd dump trucks with bottom plows also attached to the underbelly of the truck. These trucks at high RPM were loud and scary looking to a child watching them come towards you. And nothing at all could you could stop them from completing their job clearing every road in the county. We ended up buying a 56 in the 1980s for our farm use. " as a teenager I learned to operate this truck quite easily fore we used it year-round on our farm. We would use the grader underbelly plow to level our long gravel driveway in the summer and snow removal in the winter .we would fill the dump box full of fire wood that we cut or sand and gravel that we needed to apply on various areas of the farm .we ended up selling it years ago and it still is in use on another farm today serving the same purpose it did for my family .if I had this boom truck I would restore it and put a flat bed on it to haul anything I wanted and take it to local truck and tractor shows also .😊

That truck definetly deserves to be roadworthy again. Good vid.

AMEN to that!

Those International R lines were very popular in the 50's and 60's ! My grandfather had one with that straight 6 engine. Excellent truck !

I love these old American trucks and pickups and it fascinates me how robust they are, starting after decades abandoned. Great content. Thank you. Best wishes from New Zealand. I look forward to more footage. Good luck.

oh man I Love old internationals. I just watched someone else dig one of these, almost exact trucks too, out of the weeds. It was used in the Oil industry and used for Drilling . Had what looked like the attachments and all the equipment attached to the rear ... it was a Beast . I rem driving one of these old trucks when i was a kid, uncle had a few and some were turned into Forklifts, Massive forklifts for Logging, was a thing in Northern Canada. They would remove the cab from the front and slide it to the rear and stick on the lift and whatnot to the rear and would drive backwards. A lot of them were all controlled with levers, no steering wheel , all hydrolic, however ya spell it. I must have driven a dozen of those home made forklifts, and they were Huge.. So much fun to drive and operate when your 8 years old :) They made do with what they had back then, thats for sure .. Great memories these trucks bring back . Cheers .

I would think checking electrical system like coils, points, ground, etc would be right after oil check/ change. Of course you’ve got to see if it will crank a little. That will be one heck of a truck if it’s totally restored. One mean machine.

There's something really satisfying about even watching a video like this. While it's easier to wake up some of these old workhorses than newer vehicles, it still takes some effort to get that far. Hope she makes herself useful as a street legal tow truck

That was a great place to end it. Can't wait for the next episode !

Nice rig. Good job getting it running. Look forward to the next one.

Anyone who can get an old truck like this to run again is a very good mechanic!! I admire his skills. I like that old truck!!

Good job on getting the old truck running .I hope that you are able to restore the old truck to the former glory, that it had, in years gone by; both mechanical & cosmetic.

That's a cool truck. I love internationals. I'm so happy that people give to love to trucks that are in need!

Hope you do more videos like this. Love your channel man. 🇺🇸

Beautiful truck thanks for saving her. Used to drive in the late 70s__a '57 rdf190, straight6 petrol, twin stick with tandem drive pulling a logging trailer. 280 mile round trips.

There you go clean and adjust those points. Good luck with the make shift tab in the distributor. You need a squirt bottle for filling the fuel bowl. A old Ketchup bottle from a restaurant or a flea market works great.

One of My favorite trucks growing up,town dump trucks! 1957 international dump trucks,cool!

What a great effort and success ! And a celebratory camera smack at the end. Hope to see how you progress getting this International on the road. Really enjoyed this, so thank you.

Perfect! I hope the camera is OK for the second video! Great work.

The Red Diamond engine came in various sizes from 318 to 501. Most were 372, 406, 450, or 501. Peak hp was around 3000, and peak torque around 1600.

The simplicity is remarkable when compared to todays vehicles. I used to work on vehicles ALL the time. Now I rarely open the hood and then to jump start something.

I would also like to know what happened to the people who was going to work on the tractor and what suddenly happened to them that they just had to abandon such a project that back in the day would have been extremely expensive and probably very necessary to operate the farm? 🧐😉

You can crank it until you burn the starter, check the electrical. File the points, then worry about the other stuff . Great find.i like it

Very cool!!!!!!!

Eventually Id love to find one like that to haul my Farmalls to shows! Great find!

I love how you literally had to cut down trees to rescue it 😂 i think it's great youre saving these old rigs. They dont make em like they used to!!!! Understatement.

I love that truck. Glad you got it running

Get spark first/ Crank it over without plugs and get oil pressure up/ refit plugs and get running by tipping fuel down carb save all that messing

​IH did build automotive type engines for their pickups Travelalls and Scouts. They had the Silver Diamond series inline 6 the Black Diamond series then later the 152 slant 4 cyl. for Scouts. They produced the 304,345 and 392 v8s for their pickups and medium duty trucks. They did not produce automatic transmissions. Their last trucks had Chrysler torqueflite automatic (727) trannys.

Lovely old truck and in good nick,look nice with some paint on her.

Pretty darn cool that it started and moved !!!!

Beautiful old truck thanks for saving her, drove a '57 RDF 190 Straight 6 petrol, twin stick, with a tandem drive, pulling a tandem axel logging trailer back in '77s__ the truck was 6 months older than I was.

I love watching old vehicles drive out of their grave.

That is a way cool truck, love the old bikes, cars and trucks👍

Great, we want update on that truck! Very nice video too, subscribed 😊

We had one like this with a dump bed on it. My Dad also used it to haul coal, gravel, sand, just anything to make a dollar. I drove it in the fields at a very young age. My Dad would put it in low range and low gear, then set the hand throttle for me, then step out on the running board so I could drive! One thing that sticks in my mind was the electric Arvin heater. Instant heat on those cold mornings. No waiting for the engine to heat up. We used it hard. Pulled stumps with it. Got tractors out of the mud with it. Just a workhorse.

Good call on the siphon bulb and nice work getting it running!

This track made a marca and presence in los Caminos de la muerte en Los Yungas Bolivia.What a memories!! GREAT JOB!!

Hell yeah!!!!! She has a whole new life brother!!! Great job!!! I love seeing this

There was a truckie in Australia that converted one these R190s to a tilt bonnet and put a Detroit 6V71T in it. One of the best looking truck's of the time, late 50s. Hope you can tidy it up.

Great effort getting that oldie going again! Good job! Have fun! 👍

The old R-190's were some of the original trailer truck freight tractors, 'R' meant road, as in over the road trucking. My dad drove a great looking red R-190 with black fenders that ran out of Birmingham, Alabama starting in the late 50's.

Love this adventure. If you try this at home; bring plenty of fire extinguishers. Expect the carb to leak like a sieve, rodents to have chewed on the wiring, the exhaust to leak in all the wrong places. Expect the clutch to be froze and the brakes locked up, no oil where there should be and water where there shouldn’t.

kudos for getting this antique truck running. as you can see there are plenty of antique out there if you can Put in some TLC to get them running.

What a truck! Good find

History of machines. It's going to be a great work truck.

Jamie Davis would love this one.

Just a tip... fill the carb ahead of time through the vents, saves on the starter. Running over the camera was a great ending.

WOW GUYS ! SOUNDS AWSOME !

Old is gold That till date they still crank and smooth sound reveals the highest degree of engineering marvel. Modern vehicles life span is 15 years or 5 lakhs kilometre All the best

When doing that so you don't burn the start up fill the fuel bowl first through the vent on top

I hope that you can get it on the road again, those International trucks are cool !

That truck is in better shape than most of the brand new trucks nowadays

Full Custom Garage can fix that truck perfect

I am impressed it ran so good. Usually when they sit a long time, they run but they run poorly because the valves are stuck or the carburetor is gummed up

i have a 1970 IH school bus. i think it has that same motor. guy i got it from said its a 406. they drove it from Cailfornia to Pennsylvania. said it got 6 mpg! gas was cheap back then.

You should save the tractor that was behind it too!! And what's up with that 70-72 ford truck in the background!? Also you ran over the camera😂

Amazing your dang good Maine

Great mechanical engineering capabilities with those gyes. Salute to you
