2:37 tip; leave both doors open when lifting the cab, it helps provide more counterbalance so the cab lifts easier

I love the optimism of the 90 mph speedometer! Bleeding those vertical mounted clutch and brake masters is always fun.

Open the doors when you’re tipping a cab over cab. Puts more weight forward and lightens the cab

Typical Junkyard Digs: "Let's see if it runs. " Starts engine. "Like a champ!" Engine dies...

Love watching you bring these old engines come back to life. I am in my late 60's now and can't do this anymore but it makes me smile to see young people picking up the slack keeping old things running.

Change your toolbox password, you showed it by accident on the video haha

Best part is you go over the causes and explain why and what needs to be done with it. Awesome, I appreciate that you share with your audience!

There is nothing this dude can't start. I wish to be like you some day sir.

Should be the 345 cid. That was their go to engine for everything!

I have been waiting a long time for JYD to be working on international trucks. I have a 1972 1110 pickup that I have been working on and finally got it running from your videos!

I was sitting there screaming "USE YOUR LEGS!!!" when you were trying to get the cab up!!! LOL I could feel the back strain from Texas!!!

Thanks for going so in depth on the carb. A lot of people don't understand fuel injection, so they swap carbs on, but can't really tune those either. lol

Literally the earliest I’ve ever been to a video 😂

9:36 "Consistently Sad and Slow" is going to be the title of my Autobiography.

Hi Kevin. The International CO's were called Loadstars until about 1968 when the name was changed to Cargostar to avoid confusion with the conventional Loadstars. .

That cabover is awesome, and that motor sounded so good even when it first fired off. What a cool truck.

Please get this amazing man and Mook to a million😊

Kevin...you have come a long way with your mechanic skills and diagnostic since i first watched you 3 years ago on the abandoned F250....i love your channel and all your excursions....looking forward to many more.

14:29 so satisfying to see how all the dirt, debris and cobwebs are blown out as she starts :D

Every time he gives commentary on why certain things are the way they are, like with carbs it helps me understand my old subaru a little bit better

Making my morning coffee when the junkyard digs notification comes threw, knew it was gonna be a good day

I never tire of Kevin's Revival video's. I think it's because we are watching a man really enjoying what he is doing. Same enthusiasm as in the Possum in the Fiat video, the one that made me discover this channel.

Kevin I bought a reman holley ( by colt industries) and you are so right. it was 2 barrel similar to the one you have there for a Buick 3.8 even fire motor from the early 1980s. This what was wrong with it. The throttle shaft was twisted just slightly so one plate didn't close. the accelerator pump didn't work and it didn't idle because the metering block was full of white media blasting sand and the base wasn't flat. It had a tag on it and hadn't come out of the box since it left the factory. it came via a local supplier. He took the carb back and couldn't get me another one quickly. So he replaced the acc pump with the correct one took it apart and cleaned a the metering block out and fitted a better suited power valve, straightened the throttle shaft and had the base machined flat at no cost to me. That was a long time ago. Lately i've been fitting new carbs form Edelbrock . You bolt them on, attach the cable, fuel hose, the choke. you start it. It runs and idles. Check the timing, drive it for 10 minutes reset the idle and its done and no come backs for faults so far. I've fitted 5 so far and i'm happy.

You & Mook are my favorite Saturday morning cartoons

“But I made transoline fluid” lmfao

"More slippery than rust." Love it.

Reminds me of my '62 step side. Sat in a neighbor's yard for 45 years. Pulled it to the house, checked the oil, sprayed the cylinders, jumped it from my van and it was running in about an hour. That carb is probably original, and would be a stock replacement even if it isn't. If you have to time a gas IH SV-8, it times off cylinder 8, Not 1. And it uses gears instead of a chain. You can get both of those master cylinders, at about $450 apiece. The clutch slave is cheaper because it was used on light line trucks also, likely under $100. You can get rebuild kits for all of them, or be like me and use heat shrink and ingenuity. As to the engine c.i.d. there are choices, a SV-8 304 or 345, or a LV-8 401, 461, or 478. There's a bossed face behind the generator, I Think, that has the designation. They're great trucks, you'll play hell trying to kill them, if you do try, because they're made for maximum output in all quarters all day long and all night if you can keep up.

I do love the look of the Loadstar and Fleetstar trucks!

Very excited to see some internationals, currently working on a 69' 1300D and used some of your videos to help get it going!

Ah how I love old 60s internationals

Dude, that is an understated lovely old truck - great find! A tip on the Hayes-type split-rim, cast-centre wheels: check the torque on the rim clamping bolts. If there’s any jacking between the wheel centre to rim pads around the bolts, it’s worth stripping them down and flattening things so they fit flat and will hold torque. Reason: a friend had a European Fiat truck on similar wheels. One day he had to brake hard and the tyres gripped but the rim clamps didn’t. Both rims on the front axle rotated around the wheel centres, chopped the valve stems off and left him at the roadside with two flat tyres and a really good story 🙂

Subscriber from the UK here. Always amazed to see trucks of this size with petrol engines. I guess it just shows how cheap petrol used to be over there!

Hey thanks for the carburetor tips and starting your vehicle when it’s warm I always wondered why it was harder starting when I just had it running!

I have learned more about carburetors from watching your videos than anywhere else

I looked these up. They used the 304, 345, 392. I would say it is a 345. I like these trucks. My uncle had one on the farm. I believe it was a 1970 model. He also drove a 1970 International 1110 pickup. According to family legend, he bought both of em at one time to replace the older Ford Grain truck and the old Studebaker pickup. Awesome video. ❤

I have a 92 f250 with the international 7.3 you did in a previous tow truck revival and I still can't kill that motor. Long as u keep oil in them they run forever and ever.

I died laughing when he yelled “Triple homicide.”

I remember that International had a 345 Cid engine in just about everything

“You know, safety is Top 14 or something…” 🤣🤣🤣 Love it!

Nice episode getting the old girl running Kevin @Junkyard Digs

I can already tell this is gonna be epic. Love you guys!

I love the idea of kevin attempting to drive with the cabin up makes me laugh slightly. It feels very junkyard digs of him

I know its small and not too many people will care, but THANK YOU for being a real person and not censoring your swears. It just... feels better.

I grow up in the passenger seat of a COE, in the 1970s and early 80s big smile .good video. IH forever.

That old binder ran pretty damn good. I see you can buy intakes and cams and such for that engine, I assume it is valve float that is really limiting for them. I wonder if you did head work, how much performance you can get. Would the bottom end stand up to a few pounds of boost? Slap a blow through system with a Holley Sniper?I mean I know they are heavy as sin but wouldn't a boosted Travelette dropped with some bags be a cool Power Tour ride.

The Loadstar's were also built here in the UK in the 1960's, fitted with a Perkins 6-354 diesel engine.

Safety squints! I love it (and do it)! That needs to be on a t-shirt

Cool. Looks reasonably easy to work on.

Wow those are some beautiful trucks and in amazing condition for sitting out in a field! The cab over is especially in good condition! These are the types of things id love to have in my collection.

A guy might need a lone wolf 2000 love the content keep it up

My step dad owned 4 Loadstars and 3 60s International pickups all with 304 . He also had a collection of 6 or 7 spare 304 engines, he was a fan

As an old truck mechanic id love to work on that. I have no use for it but working on that old international would be a treat.

Aw yis. fresh upload and you've got some truly tired iron to work on! Those big V8s have an amazing burble to 'em too; pretty sure the conventional one you have is the same model as Puddin's Wheelhop Wilma.

Oh man, I love the sound of that starter when you are cranking it!

I like how you talk us through everything.

If you want to learn about IH's watch Hodge Podge Dodge Garage.. despite the name Zane is an IH freak, he's only got like 6 including hid dad's old 1968 Travelette and a couple wreckers. Plus he's just a good guy.

My brother came home with a rented moving van like that cab over to move our family a province over. That shifter sure is weird though. The one we had had a floor shifter with a 1st "granny" gear.

At 11:33, I thought it blew out fire for an instant, there... Turns out it was trans fluid. LMAO. Looked like arterial spray! Love ya, Kevin! Keep it up! -Vic

Good to see old trucks running, it's funny to me,how some of the younger generation is into old stuff, that's great ,my life is almost over, but l to enjoyed old trucks, hope he passes that on ✌️

CAB Overs,,,Tech tip... to lift cab,,open both doors,,,much easier lift!

41:41 you can see the cab springs on the bottom right. Guess after 60 years they don’t have the same tension

Kevin you killed me with battery,"It's consistently sad and slow comment", you nailed the way it sounds in this motor

Nothing like adjusting the points on an international v8 at night on a spooky country road. It was a fairly common occurrence on a 1978 Scout II I had. So glad they got electronic kits out there now!

Not sure if anyone else had mentioned this but when I open my cab overs, I open both doors. Puts weight up front to help with weight. Hope your back feels better Kevin👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

304 was their base engine. Optional 345 or 392. Had a 75 3/4 ton pickup with a 392

when you use a stick for the throttle when the linkage is right beside your hand :D

Sorry brother, just now able to watch this. But I'm happy to finally be here. Big reason I started my channel, Quint 1836, is because of you. Rock on man!

Those are both great trucks. I love the cab style of that conventional but I have a soft spot for COEs too.

Couple of pints today eh?😉 I love this tech type videos, especially carbs which have always been a bit ‘voodoo’ to me. Thanks very much👍

That cab over would make one heck of a baller car hauler

My dad had the same truck ❤️ I drove all over the country That truck has a column shift Love it put her back on the road

That is one of the best trucks of all times..my favorite ones are 1947 ford Coe flat bed... and a 1952 chevy Coe flat bed...

18:29 Hm, I knew that fuel would vaporize. I think there's different conditions though. My zero turn(Kohlerr CV750) likes some choke if I start it after it was hot. I assume it vaporized some of the fuel instead of puddling in the carb like that. Probably different designs suffer from different problems (if any, depending on the model). My briggs motors are less prone to that. The 84 dodge pickup we used to have never started hard hot, but fuel liked to drain back so it sure hated starting cold. I had a procedure that worked pretty well, two pumps and to set the choke, crank it, two pumps, usually fired off, if not I'd hold the throttle wide open. I suppose an electric Mr Gasket Autozone fuel pump would've helped in hindsight. This was back before I knew much about that engine or engines in general. My dad was not happy because (and being an aircraft, truck, and car mechanic for 60+ years) he knew it should not be that hard to start, but I guess he wasn't motivated enough to fix it. He kinda got tired of vehicles fighting him after so long. Still an electric fuel pump might've been the easy solution. In hindsight my procedure required some cranking probably because it was an engine driven fuel pump.

I haven't seen the whole video but I'm guessing that's probably a 345. Hey remember they used to have commercials back in the day where they would have the 2-ton trucks next to a scout and I think it said something along the lines of they put the big motor from the big truck in the scout. Some guessing it's probably going to be a 345 or 392

Kevin said he struggles getting it up, he played with it once before to no luck. HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!

beautiful set of dayton rims

Was literally just wondering when JYD would put out another video!!

Hell yeah a loadstar

I had a number of those IHs of that vintage. That engine is most probably a 304, but that is the same block as the 345. Both the 304 and 345 had the same carb, the 2 barrel Holley. Only the 392 had the 4 bbl Holley. The 304 (plus the 345, & 392) is a good engine with stellite valve seats and sodium filled exhaust valves. No timing chains and sprockets on any of these 3 v-8s. They ran gear on gear for driving the single cam shaft. They did have hydraulic lifters and always a high oil pressure. The weak spot was the cam/lever fuel pump. When they failed, they shot oil out of a breather hole straight up on the bottom side of the hood. As to the hydraulic clutch, take it apart to find out what size the bore is. They use the same rubber cups as used in wheel brake cylinders. Usually they need a bit of honing out to get rid of the rust ring where the rubber cup sat for many years. There is only one rubber cup in the slave cylinder, not two. Often the master cylinder does not need rebuilding, but has just drained out the brake oil. Normal DOT 3 or 4 works fine in the clutch cylinders. The clutch pedal sticks "down" when the fluid is low. Its return depends on the return spring on the slave lever (besides the over center spring beneath the dash board). The rather slow cranking speed of these engines is normal. They will start even in real cold temps like -20F. That one probably has a pull knob throttle on the dash board to run a faster idle until it warms up. That column shifter is for the 4 speed tranny. Look carefully at the shift pattern. Some of the trucks with the conventional front end (Load Star) had 5 speed trannys, and the ones I had, had a very unusual shift pattern, but was synchro in all except the first gear.

Nice old trucks bring back memories. Not surprised about the engine confusion among the community. There’s a famous writer for a car magazine who got the IH 304 mixed up with the AMC 304 even! The SV series V8s are truck engines. Big blocks, low RPM, thirsty and built with low rpm torque in mind, not top end hp. I blew a valve spring as a kid trying to drive a 304 powered Scout like a hot rod. They don’t like much above 4500 rpm. But down low thru the mud they pulled like a Farmall tractor. Think diesel style torque. That’s what they were meant for. Gear driven valve train too! That’s what gave every SV powered vehicle an odd supercharger style whine when pulling hard. It’s part of their character. Sixty year old technology . It’s nice to see them preserved rather than swapped out as long as they’re viable.

Kevin uploading on a Thursday????? Honestly today felt like a Friday lol

Ah thank you dude my leg is broke and I’m done with my school work so I’ve had nothing to do but wait on videos specially yours.

Those trucks look beautiful, like straight outta snow runner

The cab reminds of the Bedford TK that was popular in the UK. That cab was bolted down and the only access to the engine was via lift up panels at the rear of the cab. You are lucky your working on a tilt cab, and access to the engine is easy. Cheers, Paul.

I feel grateful to you for sharing your expertise with the rest of us. Thank you sir.

Im always happy when Kevin is working with one of the greatest farm trucks!

Love old trucks, these guys have just been waiting for a litlle love. They worked hard, time to give them some attention!

A truck like this with a gasoline engine is absolutely unheard of here in Europe. You would always have needed your Diesel specialist buddy

I graduated in 95. I feel old.

as Kevin goes for the weightlifting record in revivals in this one.

When I see old vehicles sitting for a long time there is always weeds and briars growing around them! Must be nice to have a clean work environment!

My friend used to own a 1960 IH BC 180 Tandem Axle Dump truck i got to ride in it. 20 speed twin stick. the tandem dump truck had no brakes & every gear would grind when my friend would drive it. we were hauling dirt with it & we backed it to far down a small hill & it got stuck but friend drove it out LOL! it had a original battery that died so the truck got towed away for scrap.

No offence, but Jed looks like a Scottish Santa. That beard terrifies me

I've had several of both along with Chevys and Ford's.. The IHs were the most reliable..

It's amazing how smart you are. Very mechanically inclined. Lots of knowledge.

The cab over looks a bit like a Bedford TK. That V8 sounds sweet.

Like I told you when we met in Norwalk, I love that your channel inspires the "average hooligan" to not be afraid to work on sh** and enjoy it!!! When I did the revival of the "Intercamino" on my channel, it had a carb nearly identical to this on the 345 and we had a leaky accelerator pump (which I replaced) and gaggle of other issues that made it run like poo... I wish I had seen this video before then cause I'm literally watching this thinking, "Damn I coulda rebuilt that carb and had way more fun with my monster truck El Camino on an International truck chassis if I could have made it run better!" 😂 It worked-ish and is still working as a temporary carb for my 68 GMC revival so it is what it is... Moral of the story is you just continue to inspire! Check out the channel if you get a chance and as always thank you for the awesome content and inspiration! 🤘🤘🤘

Ah yes, good ol’ transoline oil. Also this is not the first international engine you’ve worked on. I’ve done some googling and the Ford IDI’s were originally international Diesel engines

Probably an International 345 c.i. motor...Used them in school buses as-well. They built millions of them.
