I bought TWO CHEAP dump trucks at an ONLINE auction SIGHT UNSEEN! Will it Run?? 

I love watching you make old things that people see mostly as junk work again! Fantastic. I look forward to your content. Loving your cabin! Can't wait to watch it become a home again! 👍

Turkey baster with a long tube will get the water out of the cylinders and then fill them with PB or WD and leave them for a few days. Turn the crank nut to break it loose.

Pull the heads and spray down the rocker arms and valve springs PB blaster. Turn the engine and see what valves are working. Tap the valves lightly with a hamme to loosen themr. Marvel mystery oil in the cylinders. Let it sit for a week if necessary. Soak valve assembly in Evaporust if needed. I have seen stubborn pistons persueded with a piece of wood and a hammer. You don't look like you're in a place where you can pull the engine and take apart the bottom end, but that is pretty much the last resort. Good luck! Nice dog 🙂

If you want to lose your eyes sight for good then carry one using a soft pad with no eye protection, Drills grinders welders or any engineering equipment always protect your eyes and ears, Fifty. Years in welding and fabrication I think I no what I’m talking about, Take care and look after your organs when using any equipment 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

ATF and diesel 50/50 in each one of the cylinders. And 2 to 5 gallons of diesel in the crank case. Let it set a day or two. Then try to move it back and forth.

For future reference on the IH COE the cab is WAY easier to lift up manually if you open both doors first

I agree with Alfitz on the extraction of water. But vinegar in for a few days, to dissolve the rust, turkey baster again, and then marvel oil or pb. Big pipe wrench on the harmonic balancer, it should loose the rings, but there is the issue of the crank being possibly rusted. Same thing in the bottom

You know you’ve got a rust problem when the battery tray disintegrates when you put a battery in it.😂

The international engines are notorious for "seizing while sitting" Couple of different ways to free up the engine are out there. Best I've ever had was clean/ vacuum the water out of the cylinders and dump CLR into the cylinders, put the plugs back into it, and let it sit for a week. If it works, it worked. If not it's time to pull the heads and start there. Also, drain the engine oil and replace it after you CLR the engine and before you try to turn it over. Good luck

I would definitely start by getting an adapter to neck down the shop vac to a tube you can get in there. You have to get the water out. I think I might try a combination of transmission fluid with some acetone to free up the rings. You can use used transmission fluid if you have any to save on the cost of throwing more money away on it. The bigger issue you have is the body of the cab. It looks really bad. You are going to need a stash of sheet metal, and some supreme welding skills. Then afterwards a boatload of bondo and body skills to get it presentable. It will be a tremendous amount of work. I really might consider starting with something in better shape to begin with. Freeing the engine might still be worth doing to be able to sell the engine and transmission to recoup your cost. Going forward and looking into "barn finds", I might invest in a scope you can use to check the condition (somewhat) of an engine before you take the time and trouble of bringing it home. I would not think a seller would have much issue with that as long as you stop if the plug doesn't want to come out. However, thoroughly checking out the body work top to bottom is something you should be able to do a better job of before dragging it home. This way you know what you are getting into to. That body was just sitting there waiting for your inspection.

I agree with the others, try to get the water out of the cylinders use some kind of oil I would suggest putting the transmission in high gear then try to pull and push the truck to see if the engine will break loose . If it has air brakes you can cage the spring to release the brakes. Trying to rock the truck in gear will prevent breaking the crankshaft bolt . Just a suggestion. Good luck whatever you do.

@1.50, i was waiting to hear what it was, i can see what the Bedford TK (U.K truck from the General Motors group) idea came from it is so much alike, look up Bedford T.K & you'll see what i mean

Battery box goes to complete nothing. Delete. Pulls new one out of thin air. Makes the truck it's very own beer bong! Lol😅 Keep going man!

If I was trying to start a petrol (or gasoline, to you) engine that had been sitting idle for some time, the first thing I would do would be to clean and gapt the contact points in the distributor. I would also clean all the cobwebs and other crud away from the carburettor air intake.

Great little gem of a channel! Love the intro scenes!

I really hope you get the binder running. Might try diesel and trans fluid

Red truck motor stuck go to the fly wheel with a bar. First off trans fluid on cylinders for a week or 3 then try bumping the starter and go from there might take a while

I love love love cabover internationals from that era. Too bad the cab is so bad. A lot of guys have luck with soaking the cylinders with a 50/50 mixture of acetone & ATF

That hood alone is worth $300 --well bought !!

Max saw the Frisbee and wanted to play with it he likes his frisbee good ole max love max🐕🥰💙💙

Would have loved to see this if it had been live. After where the fuel line goes in the carb, is a float to control the fuel level. if its sat for that long its STUCK! I'm surprised it actually let go without a hammer smack! You guys got lucky! Almost NEVER happens! Love ur content! Give Max a big kiss for me! And AWESOME on the clutch aligning tool!

Drove an international just like that years ago, the 5 on the column was nice to shift

I once freed up a tractor engine by filling the cylinders with white vinegar. Tried many other things. Vinegar worked overnight.

Judging from the yellow paint under the hood I'd guess that old Ford is an ex-highway department truck or maybe a county truck.

I have used a little bit of transmission fluid mixed in with the marvel mystery oil

That is neat never heard of a 5sp on the column. But do you just plan on taring these trucks apart like the others? Lol

I have more or less the same truck here in the UK and in RHD form too. It was one of a small batch of pre-production trucks assembled here and displayed here at the annual big truck show. However they never did end up going into full production. Mine has a Perkins 3654 diesel. It also is the exact same red colour as yours.

Unbelievable how you got that truck running!!

could always do like another you tuber did when they have a stuck motor like that. They made a chain grip to wrap around the balancer on the crank so that way it don't break off the crank bolt an you can apply a huge amount of leverage to the crank. Also fill the pistons with mystery oil or trans fluid an leave it sit for awhile but try to get the water out of the cylinders first pf course.

Too bad about the COE but I think I’d punt especially as bad as the cab is. At least it has some scrape value.

Great Job Pete!!!

Great video, nice coulple of trucks .

International made pretty good 345s. I'd save it, get it going again

Nice work man! Great save!

Stacey David rebuilt one of these years ago on his show Gearz. Would be a great place to get some inspiration.

Oil the cylinders down rock the engine pull the valve cover on the side you have water check the condition of the valves to see which one is stuck open maybe have to pull the valve train possibly pull the head you need to see the cylinder condition clean up the valve/head you could benefit from a solution of ATF and white vinegar to soak the cylinders it's fairly extreme but you have yo free the motor it's not dead yet just stuck

And we gotta get both trucks to SEMA in two weeks.

Get all water out put mistery oil in let set for wile

Blow the water out with air then fell it up with acetone and Trans. Fluid

Is the cab shell on the red international the same as the English bedford tk's ?

Save it

Those Deutsch plugs aren't as waterproof as you think. Regularly have to re-pin them due to corrosion caused by water ingress.

I think this video is your best yet. Love the ford ln series trucks. And your dog.

you should buy a beadblaster with the amount of rusted stuff you keep buying

I would love to find a dump truck like the Ford I've been looking the ones that would work for me are to expensive

Nice job keep up the good work buddy

7.3 swap for the Corn Binder! Lol

if u can get the water out of the engine put marvel mystery oil in it that might free it up

I think you should part it out and come over my house and buy my Ford 850 tractor with a 713 backhoe. I dont think im too far from you. Im just wondering what got you interested older equipment. My guess is that you like to see how things work, and constantly challenge yourself. Have a nice Thanksgiving.

I've had really good luck with freeing stuck engines with brake fluid

Swap the engine and transmission in it with a newer model or put a 12v Cummins then swap the cab with the COE one you have sitting next to it. Make for some good content.

2 beautiful retro Trucks ... Better then the new styles. Regarts from Holland 🇳🇱.

Watch Jennings motorsports. He's got good ideas as to how to free up engines in the same predicament.

What online site did you use for the auction? I’ve been looking for a skid steer and a dump truck. Don’t want to get a 2nd and 3rd mortgage for them.

That 345 will be simple. I would definitely pull the rockers, rods, heads, and pan get it all cleaned up. New exhaust bolts. Pressure wash degrease, new plugs, New gaskets,oil, cap and rotor, clean points, rebuild carb, antifreeze. Good to go! 5 hours of tear down, a couple days of reinstall parts. You're not out anything. Save it. $4-500.00 project. It'll do 60mph. Smiles for miles and haul everything that you'd need to do with that Ford. Then make it roadworthy, new hoses, 5-10 gallon hydraulic, 90WT and brakes. Fun truck.

They were called Cargostars.

Put WD 40 in the cylinders and let it sit

My three year old says you should fix the red truck.

hay man you forgot to ask the warranty for two years

Read thru the comments.. best bet is load up the cylinders, load up the wife, chain up the white truck and bump the beJesus outta it. The truck--not the wife. Good luck.. remember, we're all in this together

I know whats wrong with it, it aint got the gas in it🤣

I see your fur baby is deprived of attention. Lol

310 is a deal for that ford for sure.

Why did nobody weigh these scrappers in when they were parked? because you all have far too much land.

Good for scrapping!

$300 for a dump truck? Deal.

Release the water poor apple cider vinegar in carb

That engine is no good and it never will be. You need to get that truck to the junkyard while the price of junk iron is still high.

Dump diesel fuel down the motor

That cabover with that much water in it is junk.

SCRAP!

pool acid

Boh....mi sa che hai comprato un mutuo.....😮

pull the engine and strip it

I hope you paid by the pound.

Scrap it

Very dissapointing. You dont know how to free stuck engines. You surrender easily. Im out.

not worth saving.

should have kept the ford.

unwatchable,

DID HE REALLY DRY START THE FORD
