Welding in the frame gusset’s on the Lowstar Loadstar
Welding up the cut and dropped frame on the 1968 International Loadstar 1800. The donor axles are from a 1987 International S1900 lopro ex uhaul truck. They are disc brake 8 lug axles with 19.5” wheels. Here I weld in the gussets and start mocking and tacking up the double frame pieces.

@@greybeardedition that switches the adjustment controls to the convex mirror.
unbolt that suspension. take the left side uhaul outside frame from the passenger side and put it on the driver side. driver side to the passenger side. you will have to drill 2 holes for the trac bar but everything else is the same. then the flanges will line up. this will not only look correct but add strength to your joint.
@@j.c.smithprojects That’s a great idea! I’ll be looking into that very soon! Thanks for all of the great info! 👍🏻
I think you should put the top piece as well Looks good by the way thanks for sharing

Im still trying to figure out why ram thought i needed a 120v outlet before a 7 prong in a 3500 truck. Thanks for the video.
@@wbdeel1 🤣🤣🤣 That is so true! Makes no sense. Thanks for watching! 👍🏻
I spent the day doing what you did. However I ran out of sunlight! I recently bought the 4700, as I got closer to my house it started going slower & slower. By the time I got to my house the 4700 was going about 15 mph! It took me several hours to go about 120 miles. It was the last 20 miles that it slowed down to a crawl. I replaced the fuel filter, & removed & cleaned the small screen housing. The screen was plugged solid. I don’t know how it even ran. Tomorrow is another day! I’m sure once the system is thoroughly bled it will start like a champ. So far I’ve had about as much fun as you’ve had. My armchair recliner brother in law wants to know why it takes so long to change a filter. LOL!
@@EnriqueReyesJrREALTOR hopefully you get it going easier than I did! Lol. This stuff is fun sometimes for sure! Get your brother in law out there and let him find out! 🤣🤣🤣 good luck on your truck and keep us posted on your progress! 👍🏻

That will be a good low maintenance driveway for many years. You could have made it look nice temporarily with a box blade. But you fixed it up for the long haul. Nice work.
@@AnomadAlaska Thanks buddy. I appreciate it. I’ve been wanting to bring my tractor with me on these jobs but I have a really hard time getting it onto my gooseneck trailer. The ramp is just steep enough that if there is an implement on the back of the tractor, it drags to the point of stopping. I have to get very creative in loading it. Lol. It does fit on there with my excavator. Hopefully I can find a better way and will soon be able to bring the tractor too. 👍🏻
Looks good man 👍🏻 should have kept your old trailer for the tractor 😁
@ thanks! That’s for sure! Lol! 😎
Brings back memories i machined all parts of that front axle assy and assembled it in 1969 at fort wayne works
@@DennisBocock that’s an awesome story! I love the history that goes with old cars and trucks! Keep the stories coming! 👍🏻
Not sure if I’m seeing this right, but doing the case drain like you did are you not sending unfiltered oil directly to the tank to be sucked up by the pump if you have a malfunction in the mower head?? It looks like the large rubber hoses you removed to take the top of the oil tank off sent the oil to the hydraulic filter before it enters the oil in the tank. I would be worried about sending dirty oil in.
@@johnsutcliffe9965 there is a return filter along with a pickup filter. There shouldn’t be a problem with contaminants going into the tank. This is basically the same principle Kubota uses on their case drain kit. Hopefully it’s ok. 🤞
man......i thought we were going to see some truck frame welding! maybe next time. too bad your so far. we could come and help out.
@@j.c.smithprojects I was hoping too! It will be coming soon! I wish you were closer for sure! I’d take you up on that! Thanks!
Instead of busting a nut youll bust a finger fuckin with em.. guess they’re like that ninja oven, set it and forget it.. ha!
The pinion angle will probably always be off except for at one exact ride height. The length of the lower link is so short it will change the angle quite a bit with even a little bit of change in ride height. I am going to do a 4 link with fairly long bars on mine to minimize this.
@@mattkenaston7180 I’m hoping it’s close enough that it’s not an issue. that’s a good idea on the 4 link. I’d say it will ride good on those long bars and bags. 👍🏻
i have eyes on gen 5 steps for cheap that i want to put on my 4th gen 2500 so i have a few questions.. why not just drill new holes on step brackets themselves and use the same bolts that are on the gen 4? also a question are gen 5 boards longer than gen 4? is the truck cab longer in general?
@@alexs1181 to get them lined up where I wanted them on the truck, the holes would have to be drilled in the flared part of the step bar bracket so they wouldn’t work that way for me. The 5th gen the bolt holes are quite a bit farther apart for that reason I guess. The boards length fit really well but are a little longer than the crew cab length boards. I believe the 1/2 ton 5th gen cabs are a little longer. I hope this helps.
I don't know about your neck of the wood .but I am not sure if that is the right way of joining a frame together ...are you going to have the truck inspected to obtain an engineering certificate ..you will be hammered for doing such a thing. 5:58
@@rafidishak7801 it’s definitely not the right way to join a frame. Lol. I’ve got a lot more work to do for sure. I just need to move the truck to a better spot and I wanted to get some measurements before I committed to a drop and length I liked. No inspection here either.
I got some of those wheels. Got a good idi engine as well.
@@j.c.smithprojects Oh no! Now I’m gonna have to drive to Ohio! Lol!
The county came up to cut today. They cut one branch on your driveway…lol
@@deborahfugate7573 awesome! 👍🏻
Why not use a nut and socket ?
@@drewjohnson4673 because I wanted to use the factory handle if needed. I didn’t want a welded on nut in the way. That would work good if you weren’t planning on reusing the factory handle.
If you dont mind me asking, how much clearance is there from the bottom of the box to the ground. I want to put some on mine but im worried about ground clearance
@@blastwrwyatt mine has about 15” of ground clearance at the toolbox. The toolbox itself is 18”high.
Your ride height will affect your pinion angle. You will want to male sure all of your ujoints cancel out. That's going to be an interesting splice joint with the frames meeting at halfway points in height. Your kidneys will thank you for going with 84" ca instead of 60". World of difference in the ride quality! Probably 5/16" frame? Might be a bit too much for that welder?
@@j.c.smithprojects I’ve been thinking about the u joints and pinion angle. Hopefully it’s something I can easily sort out. I’m gonna do a little research on them too. I’ve been thinking about that frame joint for days now and at first I thought it may be ok with some bracing welded in but the more I think about it, it seems like it would start cracking with stress and eventually break. I may need to try something like you did on the cab over frame when you stepped it down. I’ll measure the frame thickness and see what it is. Hopefully it can handle it! I only have the Vulcan Omnipro and a stick welder. Lol! Thanks for the info! 👍🏻

Looking at a Kubota u55 any thing to be looking for as far as wear items? What years is yours? Any major issues?
@@joeydalia2572 I’d look at pins and bushings for wear along with the undercarriage. As long as the machine is properly maintained, it should last a long while before there are any major issues. I can honestly say there hasn’t been any major issues with my machine so far. I believe mine is a 2016 if I’m not mistaken. Grease and service regularly and it’s good to go. Lol.

Final step, adjust the hydraulic pressure in the thumb circuit to 2500 or less..you want the thumb to have LESS leverage than the bucket curl circuit. As stout as that thumb is you will surely bend a ram. Nice straightforward install. I bought an ox thumb for my u17.
