Yea and I love it.
You paid for a running engine and got a free truck, what a score. I've been looking for over a year and a half for exactly that truck you're a lucky man.
This guys attitude should be a lesson to many, in the respect, that it's all about having fun with these beautiful old trucks, and having a sense of adventure and not taking it to seriously will always serve you well, and as long as you have your health at the end of the day , that's what really matters! K.O.T
I ran I 5 and 4 when I was a kid on the farm. You can change ranges on the fly but also just leave it in high unloaded. Only time I used low was backing up to the auger. Used 2 in the field loaded. Direct when loaded on the road. It was a 66 D800 with a 413 industrial. 5 and 4 with a 2 speed axle. Ran it until 2008.

Beautiful truck! Love the shape and lines. 100x more style than any modern truck. Looking forward to seeing more of it. :-)
That's a killer truck man. Awesome save
I love how clean the inside of that valve cover was good old diesel oil keeps everything nice

Awesome truck! It sounds amazing too. I would totally register it as a pickup and use it like one. It has paid it's dues.

The old timers used to say “if a GM/Detroit 71 series turns over it’ll start.” Thank you for keeping another another one going. They don’t make them like that anymore. I’d love to have one. Sorry I had to upload my comment so many times. Ol’ lube-tube got rid of the edit option so I had to delete and edit it several times. The oat sodas I or may or may not have drank helped me with my editing.
The engine smoothness is just mind-blowing!
Absolutely crazy about IHC's, had a '42 M-2-4 ex USMC, left here in the UK after D-Day, but that was back in '76. Well Done!
Nothing like a 2 stroke Detroit! They pretty much will always run if you can get fuel circulating. Pretty much as dependable as an anvil, if you keep the 40 weight in them and coolant. They seem to love "abuse". Run them wide open against the governor (Probably 2400 on the 4-71) and when you shut them down, it seems to say "What? Done already?" Had a lot of experience with buses in the late 70s and the 80s, and the Detroits were the standard for all highway coaches, and a lot of transits. Love the sound!

yes they are just fine untill they have a runaway condiction , then not so great
I have a 1947 International KB7 (gas I6/5 speed/2 speed rear). First thing we did was change the gear oil in the tranny and diff and it didn't shift for anything, turns out it needed Steam Oil (600W) and it shifts perfect. Steam oil was a pain to get. That Hydrovac is like a remote power assist slave Cylinder. Your master cylinder is under the front seat, it is a single circuit design, runs one line into the Hydrovac under the passenger seat, then one line comes out and splits to the front and rear axles. I bypassed mine so my master runs the drums directly. If you want to stick with the factory setup they still put Hyrdovac units on forklifts and they are a lot cheaper than getting your hydrovac rebuilt by a shop. I'm putting a duel master cylinder in mine in the stock location. I'm using one out of a 2000ish GMC one ton pickup with a vacumme booster from a chevelle (I think? it was small enough to fit under the floor) and putting a remote reservior on the firewall where I can get to it without pulling the floor boards up. The wheel cylinders are duel bore and they don't make rebuild kits anymore, so you'll have to cobble together springs and seals and hope the castings are OK and don't need sleeves. On mine (KB7 I think yours is bigger) the rear wheel cylinders have the front cylinder bore parallel with the ground and the rear cylinder points down at a 30 degree angle. It's an odd bird. Looking forawrd to watching progress on this
You had me at 471 Detroit Diesel.
That's a sassy unit right there bud!
Who else thinks of Maximum overdrive when you hear an old Detroit??

And you wonder why my hearing sucks. *** Surprisingly My mom agreed with him** Also I wish Engine makers could recreate the Detroit 2 stroke sound in these modern air compressors.

That skidder is badass ;-)
I am impressed with the 80 year old plus just turning over! Hope you keep its original paint scheme. Good luck 👍 it's in good hands now.
THANKS for saving this old guy!! LOVE watching Canadians that appreciate American Diesels. That old fellow is handsome as hell and I am VERY jealous!!
all I could hear was peg leg yelling "put it in the catchup"!! lol That truck is bad ass!!!
The 5 speed is probably a Fuller TO905, the ID tag is on the left side near the top. 1st, 2nd & 3rd are in the normal place but 4th & 5th are backwards, down for 3rd, over & down for 4th & up for 5th which is an overdrive. The brake booster is a Cardone 51-8091 & are as rare as rocking horse shit! Pull out the drain at the bottom of the vacuum chamber, fluid shouldn't run out. Cool truck, what is it, a KB6?

Many Trucks that age don't have synchronizers in the manual transmissions. You may need to double clutch every shift to prevent grinding gears.
That thing is bad ass. A 4-71 can spin to the moon. Love those old 2 strokes.
Love that truck. Reminds me of some of the freighters we had in the bush back in the '80s. That's where I learned to drive a 5 & 4!
Worth the money bud. I was glad to see she started and ran on diesel.
Love your enthusiasm, save the old rig. Get it before the guy scraps it on your way there. Hear of that every so often. The Driptroit will make this sound wicked. Like the paint scheme except the engines the wrong colour.

That engine purrs lovely. Actually that is a lovely truck. Looking forward to seeing you bring it back to its former glory.
2500 for a 5x4 and a detroit! what a steal!
Great find!! Nice KB binber.Make sure you double clutch her and ease it in to gear.Check out some of the You Tube videos on shifting the 5×3 & 5×4's.A lot of the owner's of the oldies will show you how it's done. Good luck and best wishes to you.
That is an absolute jem and for such an old truck that motor is fantastic And man does it rev 👍👍
Pick that gear up on the way back !! Hahaha. You don’t need brakes !! A new legend is born 🤌🤌🤌🤌
That’s a handsome truck mate, can’t wait to see it finished and enjoyed
Wow, nice truck! Nice to see something you're not looking to blow up LOL. Best of luck with her
I love these old internationals, I am currently resorting my own KB2 which is quite a bit smaller but one day I will get myself a truck like this one
Just a hint when working with a Detroit that has not run for a long time you know to the check the injectors to know the rack is not stuck. But if you use a filter and an electric fuel pump it is very easy to prime them. I used to have a kit made up so I could drop a hose in some fuel and a line to hooked to the primary filter. I would just run the pump until I fuel returning to the tank. Then the engine would fire up quick.
Wow! Nice International. Good luck with the brakes. My brother and I purchased a '41 International flat bed, gasoline powered original inline 6 with a vacuum powered hi/low differential gearbox. It's the original motor and it runs great, however, the brakes were completely shot. Could not find brake wheel cylinders or shoes ANYWHERE. Had to piece together components from other brake wheel cylinder rebuild kits, just to restore the originals. Also, had to have the original shoes relined, because replacements were impossible to find. We're still having issues with the brakes and the whole project has been put on hold, for now. Probably will just end up selling it. This would make a great project for a vintage restorer.
Thats awesome man!! I'm jealous! Love the sound of an old Detroit!!!
What a gem! Awesome find bud 👍
Your like me just hear old 2 stroke detroit and your all about it and then the guy pulls it out with old timber jack with a detroit that is where i fell in love with 2 stroke diesel from runing a skider
That thing is a beaut.... I'd love to find an old rig like that to ring back to life... The older units always had a nice, classy look...
Suh-weet! Keep doing what you’re doing. This American loves it. Hope all is well with you.

My oldest brother has my Dad's 1938 K-7 International hoist truck. There's a Cummins B-210 engine in it now. 20ton main hoist with 3 spools. One main two reserves. All hydraulic. A 5ton hoist up front and a 5ton hoist on the rear of the truck. A brush cage and radiator plate from a 50s D-8 Caterpillar crawler. All the hoist are hydraulic. He bought the truck in 1954 and converted it for logging and lifting heavy equipment and any other uses. 500ft of cable on the main spool. 25ft boom with a 25ft swing out extender. And a add on articulated boom for more reach. Mechanical out riggers and 11,000lb counter weight. It's a beast.
That's a neat old truck !! Have a blast
That is an awesome find at a great price. This is going to be epic!!
Makes me happy to hear that detroit
Hi A,those tranys love to shift at lower RPM start shifting at a lower speed, nice rig, thx for keeping her, 😁
That binder is so cool....maybe a mechanical restoration?
Fukkin fabulous sound, amazing body condition. You got yourself a nice toy!
Cool show DUDE. love old diesels !
Your videos never cease to impress and inform lol
Ok you got me with Detroit Diesel....My father drove a 5 and 4 when I was a child. So I want to see you fix this up, just hearing it run makes me see my dad standing next to it and that was 1964 and it was an old truck then....wow that's a nice truck.
I love that awesome and powerful sound of those old Detroits. As tough as that truck. Loved it.
What a beautiful machine, that Detroit Diesel sounds awesome, it will be a real head Turner for sure.
What a beautiful sound! We all know International "corn binders" have square gears! Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I grew up with a 1946 KB 6 International with a 6 cylinder gas pot engine.
