Nice truck sir!
Appreciate it!
Your Dash is actually working! Thats rare!
Yes it all works! This truck was well cared for. Appreciate you watching!
Love it!
Thanks!!
Nice clean truck. I got a 98 4700 crew cab I am building out for a farm tow rig. I like the mods you have done.
Good luck on your truck. I’ve added a deck plate and a air hose reel now, also a stack. Should be in some more recent videos. Thanks for watching!
Coming together nicely Ben. Your videos bring back memories of my hey days!
I’m glad it brings back memories! I enjoy these old trucks much like you do! Appreciate you watching!
Nice rig.
Thank you!
New subscriber and I live a little further west in central ky. Will be watching you and thanks.
Really appreciate you checking the channel out! Hope to hear more from you. Take care!
This truck what mpg gives with 6speed manual trasmision. Dt466 electronics I buy same 1999. One owner miles 180 T. Very clean truck I buy 👌
I’m not sure on the mpg on this truck. Thanks for watching
very nice
Thank you!
Nice work! You’ll use it all the time I would think. #purplecollarlife
I’ve been using it a lot so far! Thanks for watching!
I was working on that job in clintwood that you passed at the end. It’s going to be a vdot salt station. That’s cool as hell I came here looking at videos of them dt466s and it turns out you don’t live but 20 minutes from my house
I actually hauled all the trees off of that VDOT job when they first started the excavation. Thanks for watching
Don"t know anything about set ups, Ben, but enjoyed the ride.
Thanks for watching!
I hope it serves you well
Thank you!
Nice setup you should put some super duty leather seats in there a buddy of mine did it and the truck is so much nicer to ride in he also tinted the windows and put a drop visor on the windshield
Appreciate it! It actually has some pretty good seats, the drivers side is air ride. I like the visors on them! Take care!
It already looks great! With the gearing and engine, does it feel like it has a lot more umph than old red? Top speed comparison? Ride quality?
There is no comparison on power, the DT466 and the extra gearing makes a huge difference. I’m not pushing it hard either try in g to keep egt temps down. Rides and drives good. Top speeds on both are about 62. I’ve filmed a lot this week pulling some good hills and loads. Appreciate you watching!
Hey Ben, Is that the same fuel tank that was in the blue truck? I was going to suggest cleaning up the tank because the rest of the truck is looking super clean! But i see its already on the to do list now. Truck looks like it rides like a dream, air brakes should make a difference too. For the range selector do you just flip the switch while in neutral then into the gear in the opposite range?
It is the same tank. The 2 speed axle can split each gear progressively or be used simply as a range extender, like a 6th gear. You have lots of combinations on using it. Makes a big difference pulling loads, I’m getting better at shifting it now. Thanks for watching!
This is awesome! I love these Internationals so much I bought one last year and plan making it a big pickup. Had a question or two if you could help me out.
My 4700 is a 1997 and I cant seem to find that style of interior door panels anywhere. They look good and I was wondering if there was any part number to go off of.
Also, how did you mount your camera in the cab like that? I'd really like to try that out! Keep up the great work!
I do love these Internationals as well. I have no idea on the door panels, I haven’t seen another truck with them. They definitely dress it up nicely. I mostly us a suction cup GoPro mount in the cab for video. Thanks for watching!
@@khtractors Thanks! I may have to try out your DIY exhaust stack idea this summer.
Glad the new truck is working out so good. The shifting on 2 speed axle in 4 and 5 is not like i would think! Is that kudzu growing over all the roadsides out there?
Yes the kudzu is crazy! I’ve found that 4th high is actually faster then 5th low on this truck. Thanks for watching!
@@khtractors If it has a chart in it it will say that the pattern goes 3 hi, 4 lo, 5 lo ,4 hi ,5 hi.
You need more content.
cool channel new sub
Thank you!
How did you do the wiring for your lights on the rear and for the 7 pin plug. I've burned up 3 Taillight Converter converters to make the combo lights work.
I just spliced into the wiring before it goes into the rear lights and had to run a separate wire from the brake controller all the way to the rear of the truck. I’ve not had any issues so far. Thanks for watching!
So question. What are you reasons to justify having such a big truck when a 3/4 ton or 1 ton could pull the same. I’ve debated getting one for our farm and just curious on your thoughts. Thanks!
It’s just how they handle the load more then pulling power. Plus you can find these trucks for around $10000 or less. It relieves a lot of wear and tear on my 3/4 pickup which I hope to keep many more years. Anytime you trade for a new pickup it would cost more then $10000 difference with the way prices are climbing on vehicles. Plus I just like them 🤣! Another advantage is the truck always being ready to go vs hooking and unhooking from a daily driver. Honestly I could give lots or reasons but it may not be for everyone. I think if you can find a good medium duty truck you’ll understand. This thing pulls so much better then the other red truck. Hauled my tractor and round baler together the other day with it, that was nice to save an extra trip. Thanks for watching!
Question for you. Im building nwar exact truck. How long is overall truck bed? Did you move axles furher back for gooseneckk teailee to clear.
I think it’s right around 13’ feet from cab to back of frame. I ended up building a flat bed on this truck and it’s been great. The bed gives more weight for traction and a better ride.
Ben, when you upshift the two speed, you don't need to use the clutch. Make your shift, lift your foot off of the accelerator pedal, listen for it to shift, and accelerate again. You'll get the hang of it. Also, I don't think that 466 should have needed to be downshifted pulling that hill empty. If you don't know when the fuel filters were changed, change them, if you haven't already done so! You may also want to look into a Jake Brake, would really help you hold the load back on those hills. Those Ol' Binders are tough to beat!
Thanks for the advice! That’s a much steeper hill then it looks on camera and my trailer is 7000 lbs. The red truck would only do 20 mph up that in the steepest part of the curve. The slowest I got in this truck was 38 and in a pickup 45 is a safe speed for that curve. I’m going to be changing the filters soon, just got everything this week for a service. It may help some, I’ve been really impressed with its power so far. Thanks for watching!
@@khtractors Talk to your closest Navistar dealer or local truck shop about the importance of maintaining the proper coolant SCA levels, too. Don't want to develop a hole in a sleeve and have to do a premature overhaul! Good luck!
@@jwmfarms yes I’m aware of that. This truck was rebuilt once because of a hole in the liner. Do they make a test kit for that?
@@khtractors Yes. By the way, from the footage of your drive back from the mill, you may want to consider trying to develop a market for Kudzu hay! Maybe the Japanese would like to buy some of it back!
@@jwmfarms I could be a millionaire with baling that fast growing stuff, great idea!
What is the frame rail width on that truck? I'm looking to get one and want to know if my bed will work with it or not.
I’d have to measure and make sure but I’m thinking it’s 34” outside to outside. Thanks for watching!
@@khtractors that's what I've read but wasn't sure if that's an actual number but cool thanks for the reply!
Do you need a cdl to drive that? What about if you pull a gooseneck? You need a cdl then?
It all depends on how the truck is tagged. For business use yes. Mine is tagged with an F tag for farm use. You don’t need a CDL that way. Anything with a combined GVW of over 25,000 requires a CDL unless tagged for farm or personal use is my understanding. Thanks for watching
@@khtractors awesome thanks man. Good work on the truck!
I'm assuming you're NOT in Califorina , because it seems they have established a cutoff date for diesel powered vehicles that will NOT be allowed to operate !!!??? Nice truck and trailer !
Nope not in California 😆 thankfully! I hope things doesn’t come to that here in Virginia but who knows these days. Thanks for watching!
Hey Virginia here too brother! Love internationals!
Virginia will never be like CA, EVER!
Have you found a place to buy new interior parts?
I haven’t checked on any interior parts. Thanks for watching!
How many horsepower does that truck have?
It’s set at 210 hp. Thanks for watching
@@khtractors Excuse me what state it is in, I live in Los Angeles California and I like to watch your videos, mainly for the International 4900, your truck is very nice and if you plan to sell it I would do everything possible to buy it
@@marcovazquez8058 I’m in Virginia. Probably won’t be selling it anytime soon.
@@khtractors The day you plan to sell it, please let me know, because I would like to have a beautiful memory of this wonderful country and what better than a 4900 that you have

@@marcovazquez8058 I really appreciate that! I’m definitely proud of this old truck.
Hm you get it for
