Buying and fixing an international 4700 with transmission problems 

Andrew has been doing this longer and he is the GOAT, but this video hit it out of the park, and you aren’t far behind. Having been through a series of Mother Nature catastrophes here in No Cal (huge fire, huge mudslide from floods off the fire, loss of seventy feet of 10” mainline on the side of a cliff above the slide, and a heavy snow that toppled hundreds of giant oak trees), the thought of adding the time and effort to video all of our battle against all of that is , well, daunting; and I appreciate more what you and Andrew are doing with your talents and efforts. It is really appreciated by those of us who love this stuff. Thanks to the both of you.

That must have been a very rewarding repair job for you. To buy a truck with that amount of noise coming from it and then fix it. Wow great job Jesse.

I find it quite comforting to know there are still young men like Jesse and Andrew out there working their butts off to make their way in the world. Keep it up, son.

Another great video. I wish more of the others who make these style videos had your gift of video production and narrative skill.

good job Jesse , jesse is my son and I taught him everything he knows lol not realy but I did start him out now I go to him for answers. i'm to old for this kind of work so it's up to him now and thanks Jesse for the link to my vids

Great job. As a former Parts Counterman for a Navistar Dealership and a DIY Mechanic I can tell you have been around some Mechanics and a Shop before. Checking everything while it's open always helps prevent future problems. Good work on your Camera placement, lighting, and Narration. I'm sure we had a better view than you did most of the time and I did not envy you while lifting the Flywheel, Clutch, and other components in place. Nice to see Transmission was Safely secured to the Transmission Jack. Keep up the great work!

Fine job in past years did a good amount of that same gear replacement. A cowboy behind the wheel or a muddy foot that dropped the clutch, that with the combination of a bad pilot bearing shortened its life. But I was always happy finding this kinds of trucks. Easy repair and a quick turnaround on the money. In your case looks like you picked up a decent truck for the right money 💵. Great content 👍

Just discovered your channel I watch Andrew all the time I am not a construction worker and don’t know anything about running heavy equipment or mechanics but I enjoy learning and watching these kinds of videos. You two guys are very similar thank you for the entertainment 👍

I am another one who watches Andrew and now you have impressed me as you are another young man who knows what day it is. Also like Andrew, you are a hard worker. You guys restore my faith in young people. I have worked with so many that don't know which way is up.

I drove a 4700 for 7 years, Love that truck. Super dependable, I think you got a great truck. Just finished the video, You are a Boss! Awesome work and get it done attitude..

All I can say is WOW! to great young men who truly understand that the only way you become somebody in this world is by getting your hands dirty. A hard day of work never killed anybody. Andrew is my number1 guy so I'll make you # 2. New subscriber.

When the sound went away in high gear I assumed it was related to the secondary shaft or counter shaft. Nice looking truck. Love those old Internationals.

Nice work. Really great build. I did VW trans when they were Beetles. A big red scotsman told me I would never fix it. Well - I fixed it and drove it down to his shop 2 days later. Thank you.

Finally, someone who uses locktight on their bolts. Good job Jesse. Done like pro. Those marks on the head of the bolts often tell you their torque using a chart that includes length of the bolt. I used to have that chart years ago.

That was impressive to say the least. Good looking truck. Inside could us some love

I know Jack about truck and even less about how to repair them. But I really enjoyed watching you do the repair on the transmission. Thanks for sharing.

music to your ears, no doubt...that smooth test run, after the works all done. .

You, I must say are by far one of the very best at explaining every little thing you do in great detail. Great Job and are now one of the first streamers I will be looking forward to seeing great things from. :)

Just found your channel......It's like Camarata's, and really enjoy watching the work and repairs. Thank you for taking the time to upload your adventures.

Jesse, i am obsessed with International (95 and older dt466) trucks! It's my dream to have one. Going to see one tomorrow. Really exciting to know how to change the clutch now :) thanks brother!

I like the fact that you don’t have the workspace and equipment that Andrew has but you get the job done! Amazing video! Thanks for sharing!

wish there was someone near me that i could work for on stuff like you do. So much variety and interesting projects

Thank you for a great lesson in clutch and transmission repair. Really great production values too.

What a satisfying feeling when you fire it up and it works the way it should. Excellent job. Excellent video.

I am impressed with your attention to detail and craftsmanship.

The myriad of skills that guys like you and Andrew exhibit are never ending. Nice truck, great job!

You seem to be one knowledgeable one young man, it’s a pleasure watching your channel. Andy from Canada

Glad you went ahead and fixed trans while you had it unhooked, great job!

Don't forget to paint the name of your company on the side of it. I recall one video where Andrew got stopped and had to do it. I enjoy your videos, thank you.

What an impressive video. You have excellent skills & knowledge and it was a pleasure to watch you work through that repair. I have to say those drone and other shots at the end were breathtaking - that double rainbow was something! Plus, it was nice to go on a little ride to & from the quarry. Thanks for sharing.

Nice repair, Jesse. You and Andrew are amazing.

Excellent job Jesse .. love watching the repair videos. Thanks for sharing with us Truck looks good. Hope it lasts you for years without any big problems.. your dads shift knobs turned out great. Awesome video bud. Keep up the good work be safe and enjoy. 👍👌

You got to be the smartest man I know. No wonder Andrew always calls you to help him. Have a Happy New Years.

Between your channel, Andrew's, and essential craftsman who needs t.v.

Good looking truck,I drove one like that in 94/95 working for Johnson construction rocking driveways and pulling his float after i came home from the navy,i later gave up my C D Ls for a job in maintenance at the post office but i really missed that old truck,something different to do every day.Good video sir.

Nice work! Such a blessing to have skillset like yours! Congrats on new truck! 🥳🥳🥳

Wow, that was impressive no shop to work in. 90% of my vehicles are standards and the last repair was a clutch plate on my Jetta and it wasn't cheap after watching your video I have a new perspective on what is involved

Great job and informative! I really like how you took your time to explain the major points.

Its good finding the issues , getting the parts and putting things right . Then driving it off down the road knowing you did it and did it right . Keep it up .

We had an 89 with a hiab and an 18' deck. I loved the truck! Laid many miles of pipe with it. I remember being new and there was a main break. They asked if I knew how to drive stick. No problems getting to the scene, then tried shutting off the ignition. I couldn't figure out why it would not shut off. Decided just to stall it, then figured out what the chrome T handle was for.

Nice work, I liked International trucks for years I used them. Thats a nice looking truck you made go again. Watching you made me want to paint the box and fix up the interior while watching your video. You and Andrew Carmareta have a knack for making videos. I have done almost all the same things in the past and really cant now but; its great watching you guys work. Thanks

I enjoyed this. You and Andrew have similar accents. You make me want to buy old equipment to make it useful again.

That drone shot of the double rainbow was perfect.

Honest hardworking American, the world needs more of them. Way to go Jesse.

17:01 Great video, the only concern with the space between the top of the flywheel bolt & the spring is to be sure & remember that distance will get closer as the clutch material wears down....just FYI, awesome truck you have now!!!!

Very nice job with you newer International Clutch job and your stump hook I agree that you might need a "tooth" welded on. You do excellent work. I wish that I had something like hook when I had to remove stumps in late 50's. You make my day and reminded of my father's work ethic

Those International Harvester trucks were amazing workhorses. In the late 60s and early 70s my family’s construction company used and abused them with little down time.

When you ate in 5th the transmission is locked straight through and there is no power flow through the countershaft. The countershaft still spins, but it isn't under any load so it shuts up

You have amazing skills and you do what you do without all the amenities - you are an inspiration!

Long time Andrew fan now a new subscriber here also, like I always comment on Andrews stuff stay safe and stay awesome

Just stumbled upon your channel when this video popped up in my recommended feed. Love the content, so you've earned yourself another subscriber today. Keep up the good work!

I’d love to find a 4700 shorty like that! Awesome job, very detailed, thanks!

Truck really sounded great after your work, you guys in this part of the country are awesome and I’d love to be your neighbor some day. Also this area is beautiful, Wow that rainbow was a perfect ending to this video! Now off to watch your dads video, thanks

You and Cammerata are excellent fixers, keep up the good work!

Your a rare creature you don’t see many mechanics using Makita tools so thanks

Pilot bushing goes into the crankshaft not the flywheel but good job and saved a ton of money. I love International trucks and you bought a nice one, thanx for posting.

Good looking old truck. Nobody needs a brand new one to drive through mud holes and get beat to death with gravel and rock. You either do a lot of buying and selling equipment or you have an acre of it. Every time I watch a video you have a different excavator or skid steer.

I just happened into your channel its nice to see a guy who can fix something. Great job

Replaced my first clutch in a 55 Chevy when I was 18 , that was a learning experience, good vids, stay safe.

I love how you get that camera in there so we can see what you’re doing. Appreciate that

Well Done Jesse........Thanks for taking us on this journey!

When I was a young man I learned to double clutch , I don't drive truck often but when I do it just comes natural, I don't know that meney do now days !

You have so much talent it is just awesome the knowledge that you have. thanks for a great video showing us how you save money an fix things wow!!!!! I can only imagine Jesse the knowledge that the people on the production line have putting all this stuff together.

When I do one where it has to be bolted a certain way, I either paint it where the bolt needs to go (like on a flywheel to torque converter on a Subaru) or use a center punch and center punch next to the "top" bolt hole... On a side note... I have an 1989 International S1600 26" Uhaul Box truck... None of that emissions crap on it... ;) I'm in the process of making it a "stealth camper" 11' living area in the front and a 15' complete metal and wood workshop in the back... So I can travel around the country and if I run low on cash, fix or make something... I tore a ligament in my forearm, couldn't even lift a cup of coffee let alone wrench on a big truck... so that has slowed me down... getting better though... Thinking about running it on used motor, transmission and veg oil... Need a centrifuge and filter setup with separation tanks and add another saddle tank to it.

Your a good mechanic. It will save a ton of money and you’ll know corners weren’t cut.

Nice video! Good the world has guys like you to keep trucks like this out of junkyards.

Thanks to your repair skills you know have a nice and extremely versatile single axle dump truck to help you earn a living. And of course it is my favorite manufacturer. She's a "Cornbinder."

Followed you over from Andrews Channel, Man Love your Narration style, editing & Music choice... You Deserve so much more Subscribers!!! Best of luck.

Even talks like Andrew. Good to see men like this out there, getting things done.

Nice truck you scored there. Good diagnostics and great repair. Seems to me thought that the noise goes away in fifth because you are not using the counter shaft for fifth. In fifth the input shaft is directly connected to the output shaft thereby eliminating the counter shaft and those missing teeth. Great video Oh and nice gift from dad too.

We believe you Ron, we all know how clean fresh your trucks are.😂😂 it will be nice to catching up on all missed video’s while in lockdown.💖🇦🇺

International Harvester is my favorite truck , they have a parts listing for every truck they have built and can get the parts . I have a 1972 model 1910 tandem with only 47,000 miles ( I have known this truck since new ) But I really like the size truck you picked up , nice around the farm and firewood hauler .I picked up a F 800 Ford just did the same deal clutch and sticking thro-out bearing , The bad deal with it is the rear brakes not one of Fords better idea . Great video

5th gear is likely 1:1 direct drive. The power flows straight through from input to output and not down to the counter shaft

Jess, I just wish that I was there helping you.I enjoy this type of work, fixing machinery. I'd like to see you get some cordless tools.You appear to have a good attitude about fixing something that is required and not putting it off for another day. My hat is off to you, and like I mentioned I wish that I was there helping you.Ken

Very good repair on your transmission, I have worked on many of these and the two cogs have a habit of dropping teeth and it is mainly the input shaft. As for the stuffed pilot bearing it normally causes two problems, one clutch shudder, two springing out of fifth gear. Many regards

Some serious skills here. I don't fix transmissions and probably never will, yet I watched the whole video.

subscribed! Great Video! i love to see guys working on their own truck in their yard with hand tools. gives me a lot of motivation to keep working on mine.

This channel and Andrew's channel makes me wanna abandon my desk job in LA and move to NY.

Hi from the UK Jesse, I really enjoyed that, it's a beautiful old truck 😎.

I enjoy your videos and Andrew's videos, real down to earth and interesting. Keep them coming.

Thanks for the good video. I watch you and Andrew all the time. One tip though you should get a lisle 44900 lock ring plied for rings such as the input shaft bearing it makes removal and installation a breeze. The lock rings don't fly off with these. Also a lisle 12980 bearing driver kit or equivalent they are aluminum drivers that do not Mar metal.

Nice! I miss my dump truck.Done a LOT of work around the farm with it.

That rainbow is beautiful, thanks for that vid, I like seeing how its done, thankfully you can do yourself saves money, I'll check your dad's vid I like wood turning. Peace

Nice looking International! Great job!

Nice work Jesse, good luck with the new truck.

Wow! This is a clean truck without rust problems. You got a good one there.

Hollywood can’t make a better rainbow than that one!!! Very cool sky shot!

Jeez the interior looks great compared too trucks newer than what you have there, perfect starter truck. Cheers !

“You grind these down and get an extra 32nd of an inch” NOW THIS IS ENGINEERING A FELLA CAN GET BEHIND

nice truck.. glad you got it fixed on the cheap

Jesse's channel is so awesome, you deserve way more subscribers. Great work and video!

Firstly Nice Truck looks good. You are a sharpie to work on the gearboxes. Maybe tidy up the truck when you get some time. Align bumper. Give the Bin a light sanding and a coat of black paint. A overall pressure clean would make it look smart.

Are Andrew Camarata's brother or cousin? I love the can-do attitude and confidence! Great video!

Most guys never learn how to teach, You Have and You Do. GreaT JOB . one day some little will say My dad taught me.

Bought an 80 Malibu V8 once with a serious engine knock and a hard starting problem. My first suspicion was the timing was off and the engine having a broken crankshaft. Turns out the guy I bought it from had replaced an old bad engine with another used engine, didn't shim the starter which resulted in the binding of the starter gear against the transmission flexplate (flywheel) causing several cracks which made a lot of noise. Had to pull the trans, replace the flexplate and shim the starter. Ran fine after that.

Damn kid, you did a good job with that trans. Not many young guys around that can do that kinda stuff anymore. We have a truck repair shop down near Wiles Barre and we can't find mechanics at all anymore. All the guys that know what they are doing are getting too old to physically do it. Seems like most young guys have no interest in learning

Great job, bet your boy loves riding in that thing!

Creating value through intelligence and hard work.

Good job it's run like a Cadillac as a one person you have a lot guts working alone man you are my hero

Great job. Stuck with it and got the job done. And as a bonus the cab was cleaned out.
