for the batteries connecting the positive side first leaves the system without power until it is grounded power flows from the negative pole to the positive . thanks for the videos. ps the hood clips engine blanket or sound insulation but with the block heater i would venture a guess its spent time where there is serious winter not the florida variety.
wish you would make Wyle a shirt. . great show guy. you guys are like best mates that get on very very well and that makes a great show . I learn so much off you guys. love your show. even mumma bear doing the intro. its new keep this content coming. motivation is so great
Hank....those plates on the inside of the hood butterflies are there to hold soundproofing insulation. I suppose the insulation was there to keep warmth in the engine compartment during the cold weather (in the much colder climates than Florida!). The insulation sheets were fiberglass with a foil like covering on the outside. We had a couple of Autocars of that vintage....one my Dad bought brand new in 1979.
Hank I always love to watch u and Wiley on all this old school equipment and trucks it's neet to see how all of them are cobbled together and still crank and run u guys have a blessed day
International Fleetstar is a series of heavy-duty trucks that was produced between 1962 and 1977 by International Harvester. Slotted above the Loadstar and below the Paystar and Transtar conventionals introduced after it, the Fleetstar was the first truck line that International designed specifically for vocational use.
@@HamiltonvilleFarm The old mixer I drove was from MTM (McNeilus Truck & Mfg) up North but I can't remember what it was except a STAR-something. or maybe a something Star. Tandem with a 9 yd tub, 6-71 and 9-speed OD Roadranger.
I can remember as a boy. The company my dad worked for bought him a brand new 1976 International Trans Star 2 Bicentennial Edition cab over. It had a big cam 400 Cummins and a 13-speed road ranger transmission. It would flat out get on down the road. Before that, he drove a cracker jack box jimmy. He hated that truck because he stood 6foot 6inches tall.
@@cherokeeoutlawmartiel5340 I was 6'2" and I suffered myself so I hate to think about a 6'6" folded up in one. I used to live in Cherokee County and loved every second of it.
The first truck my late father ever owned in the 60's was a 1963 Autocar. I learned alot about trucking and construction sites while riding along with him. Very cool.
We have to have a follow up video on this old Autocar Hank. 4 batteries in her to give her the cranking amps and she'll fly over, you watch👍👍 Keep up the good work, you & Wiley make a good team👍👍
Hey Hank you need to check out Bruce Wilson’s will it start videos he uses 2 jump boxes instead of doing all that work swapping out them batteries!! Make it easier on you and Wiley
Autocar used to have a plant near here in Exton PA and my buddy's Dad worked there as an engineer for a bit. I loved seeing the Autocars lined up. They move 3, with 2 propped up on the back of each other.
I read a book called the art of negotiation, and what I found out is "No" isn't the end of the negotiating! It's the starting point of the real negotiating!
I saw an old cab over Mack in the back ground would love to see you do a will it start on that truck , as usual great videos keep them coming and keep safe.
The steel plates on the hood might have held insulation in place, could be for sound deadening or temperature control in really cold climates (fits with the possible bl9ck heater cord, too)
Definitely for under-hood insulation. Batteries under seat to keep them from freezing. With the block heater, that truck came from up north. Formula 290 was a combination built by Cummins for fleet operations. It's not the HP. If that was house mover, the beefed frame was for carrying extra "traction weights" as the house was on dollies. So no tongue weight to help.
I bet that truck is from way up north we’re it is very cold , the block heater and I suspect those little squares held insulation in place to keep heat in the engine bay 👍👍
Great video, and yes, I do think you should get an I GOT WILLIE WITH ME TODAY! shirt. It could be a great seller for you all! It is a shame it didn't start and run, but maybe it would have if you had more time.
1:00 The loadstar is a medium duty conventional truck usually used for local delivery, farming, construction, etc. The Fleetstar is a heavy duty conventional it was used as a local straight truck with mid range engines and a semi-tractor with heavy duty engines. The Transtar/Transtar II was a cab over heavy duty over the road semi. The Cargostar was medium duty cabover straight truck. The Transtar 4200/4300 was a heavy duty long hood conventional it was a semi-tractor for local construction, regional hauling, and long distance over the road trucking. The Paystar was a severe service and commonly used as heavy-duty dump trucks, concrete mixers, etc. There's also the newer Durastar, Workstar, Prostar, and Lonestar.
I would think that's a very restorable truck being in Florida there is very little body rust. I most definitely would relocate the batteries from inside the cab I've never seen that before that's just a little bit of a safety hazard
Do a part 2. Love the videos. Wish y’all was close to Kentucky. Because I know of quite a few dozers exc that needs your touch. Lol. Thanks again for the videos.
Olá Bom dia meu nobre amigo Hamiltonville Farm. Acabei de receber seu novo vídeo hoje aqui no Nordeste do Brasil é um sabado e lhe desejo mais um final de semana cheio de Paz Alegrias Saúde e Sucessos e fazendo as maquinas doentes ficar boas prontas e vivas. E vamos a luta. DEUS É PROVIDÊNCIA GRANDE PODEROSO E SUPERIOR.
If you'd been able to get the horn to work, you would have heard the song, "I've got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle" by Kay Kiser and his orchestra. That's what the metal squares under the hood are for: accompaniment to the horn as they drove down the highway.
Those Autocars had a lot of aesthetic personality. I assume partly due to engineers in those days not so much considered with aerodynamics as much as practicality.
I think those metal diamond plates are to absorb heat and keep the hood cooler. They hang so as to keep them from touching the hood as they get screaming hot.
Some booster packs might help too. Give it a little more voltage to get it turning. ⚡️⚡️ Thanks for sharing guys....ya'll are the best "not mechanics" on You Tube! 😄 Speaking of which, that would make for a cool new tshirt, "Not mechanics" on the back! God bless and take care! 🙂
Ya know, this one was so overgrown, that if it had been painted green, you'd have never found it. LoL Wisecrack alert: I'm one step away from being rich, all I need is money. As always, all the best to everyone. Chef Scott 👨🍳
I have one of those battery carriers that I bought decades ago off the Snap on truck and the part that actually hooks on the battery is about 2-1-2 inches wide and it works a lot better than the one you have and it is worth what ever it would cost now, I am sure other places would have them cheaper than the Snap On, check it out.
Autocar name is an interesting one too and it is still making trucks. Autocar was the 1st vehicle maker to have left hand side driver which is now a standard for all in USA .
Hank and Wiley the rear suspension on that autocar looks similar to a heavy duty Mack camel back suspension. Tough as can be but rides like lumber wagon.
Mike from Dirt Perfect explained he looks at two things when buying machinery. One: if the batteries are mounted with the original holddowns and two: if the lights are all still attached and straight. It is a sign of its owner for keeping good care of their machine. That crome knob shifter of the Fuller transmission is called a Tinkerbell shifter BTW.
Hey guys my International cab over with a 350 big cam Cummins in it it took four batteries to get it to turn over good and she set for 10 years before I brought her home I checked oil an coolant put those four batteries in it and she fired up on her old fuel but keep up the good work guys round you up some more batteries and let’s see that thing come to life
If yall are goofy enough to go back there I'm goofy enough to watch yall BUT as far as the old Mack cabover, I've watched a video of maybe the Air Force moving missiles with a truck just like that. OD Green to boot and seems like it was in Florida too. So THERE yall and B:ESSINGS!
Hank and Wiley, have you seen Matt’s Auto-Car he’s using one his channel Diesel Creek? It’s awesome and he might know a lot about the Auto-Car trucks! Just saying brother’s! Enjoyed your videos Hamilton Farms! 👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

The insulation sheets were fiberglass with a foil like covering on the outside. We had a couple of Autocars of that vintage....one my Dad bought brand new in 1979.
Yep. Insulating blankets.
I think the insulation was to protect the paint from extreme heat, and hopefully last longer than one summer.
@@bertgrau3934 you very well may be right on that....it makes sense since those butterfly doors are kinda thin to keep the weight down
My first thought was with the block heater and hood blankets, the truck may at one time been up North..
I was thinking exactly that! Nice! :)
Hey guy just wanted to say. As someone how loves old trucks 🚚 it's nice to watch something that doesn't use bad language.
Keep on trucking
Thanks 👍
know it's going to be a darn good day when Hank and Wiley are out in the field trying to start an old trucks
You've got to come back and give the old Autocar a second chance. Great video you two.
Hank I always love to watch u and Wiley on all this old school equipment and trucks it's neet to see how all of them are cobbled together and still crank and run u guys have a blessed day
Thank you!
You are doing great job for old buddies they look rusty but they are helpful
Great video, Hank. They don’t make them like that anymore. That was one tuff strong truck back in the day. Thanks for sharing.
For sure!
Willy saying edit that part out about him buying lunch was priceless.

Hank, The square plates were for holding in hood insulation in place
Hi Wiley Love this channel always good time God Bless
The first truck my late father ever owned in the 60's was a 1963 Autocar. I learned alot about trucking and construction sites while riding along with him. Very cool.
It's nice that you show the "It wont start" rather than just all the it started vids.
I love old Autocars. I still learn a little every time from your videos. Thank you for sharing. Did it ever go to a better home?
Not this one. But several people have asked about it
We have to have a follow up video on this old Autocar Hank.
4 batteries in her to give her the cranking amps and she'll fly over, you watch👍👍
Keep up the good work, you & Wiley make a good team👍👍
Be nice to see this truck go to a good home guys even if ya can't get to turn over. Made for a great video bro. Safe travels
Yeah I think another viewer has been in contact with the owner👍
Hey Hank you need to check out Bruce Wilson’s will it start videos he uses 2 jump boxes instead of doing all that work swapping out them batteries!! Make it easier on you and Wiley
Yeah we need them for sure!
Enjoyed the video Hank and Wiley. Maybe it will start in Part 2.
Love those old autocars. First truck I ever drove. Would like to see that back up and running.
Autocar used to have a plant near here in Exton PA and my buddy's Dad worked there as an engineer for a bit. I loved seeing the Autocars lined up. They move 3, with 2 propped up on the back of each other.
Real men, doing real work, not afraid to get dirty.
Great video, more batteries in parrallel = more amps. Yes, a part 2 would be great. Thanks
Te squares your talking about are what was holding the heat shielding against the hood to keep from burning the paint off of it
Interesting
Elvis needs this truck running!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! come on guys
Those old autocar trucks are awesome. I'd love to see a second video on this one.
I Love How Old Junks Just Fire Right Up
i was thinking the fan is off because the engine is stuck they were trying to bar it over good video a ya OLD GUYS RULE God bless
I read a book called the art of negotiation, and what I found out is "No" isn't the end of the negotiating! It's the starting point of the real negotiating!
I saw an old cab over Mack in the back ground would love to see you do a will it start on that truck , as usual great videos keep them coming and keep safe.
Great video, you can't crank them all I guess, would be great if you did a part 2 on it!
My Late Dad had a Autocar 1966 they were great trucks very nice video 📹
Glad you put the code in letters FM10 as it sounded like FMTN! lol
You need to get a jump start pack, like a NOCO. I have one that puts out 2500 amps. I bet that would start it, as long as it’s not locked up.
Poor Wiley throwing that lunch back on him haha
Great Channel!, I love your videos!
Thank you
2 good ole boys you instantly like. 'Sup gentlemen?
Appreciate that
The steel plates on the hood might have held insulation in place, could be for sound deadening or temperature control in really cold climates (fits with the possible bl9ck heater cord, too)

Good guess. Makes sense. I know it spent many years down here, but it may have started up North for sure. 👍
Singing George Benson songs (Turn Your Love Around) and starting trucks...I am in the wrong line of work!
Excellent episode!
Love watching you guys 🎉
I like that green Mack(?) cabover in the background, would like to see more of it!
Man that was a sharp looking truck back in the day.
For sure!
Great video, and yes, I do think you should get an I GOT WILLIE WITH ME TODAY! shirt. It could be a great seller for you all! It is a shame it didn't start and run, but maybe it would have if you had more time.
I used to drive an Autocare mixer it had a 290 Cummins in it also had a compression release to help it start
Just a thought
Right on. I saw that in another comment. I’m gonna study that a little more👍
That suspension looks like Mack camel back rear ends, not rockwells like they normally had
Really good try guys appreciate your guys hard work thanks for sharing Hank and Wiley

just love looking forward to the Hank and Wiley show
Good to see you fellows this morning. Would like to have heard that one crank up, but you can't win them all. Have a great day and take care. 👍
Thanks much!
Goodmorning Hank and Wally
Morning!
I would think that's a very restorable truck being in Florida there is very little body rust. I most definitely would relocate the batteries from inside the cab I've never seen that before that's just a little bit of a safety hazard
Do a part 2. Love the videos. Wish y’all was close to Kentucky. Because I know of quite a few dozers exc that needs your touch. Lol. Thanks again for the videos.

I could almost see Matt from diesel Creek licking his chops seeing that Autocar truck🇳🇿🥝
G'day fellas Diesel Creek might be interested in that Autocar.
Those plates really got me curious! I'll buy into the insulation comment listed below. Fun video Hank & Wiley 👍😁
Great video and would do a part 2 and try to get it working

Hey good evening hank amazing job keep up the great work love it 😊💯💯💯👍👍👍.
Good morning buddy good luck with the trucks see you soon
👍
very cool i use upside from time to time to!
Hank I would bring 4 plus batteries if you go back to that truck. another excellent video as always Hank.
Great video Hank
Пацани привіт і дякую за любов до стареньких авто
Support comment to encourage a return to crank the Autocar! Hank, put some black barn blossoms in yours and Wiley’s hair!
It was turning over very slowly throw 4 good batteries on it The old girl will crank I'd love to see you do a part 2 on it
I think those metal diamond plates are to absorb heat and keep the hood cooler. They hang so as to keep them from touching the hood as they get screaming hot.
Those are beautiful trucks.
Driving today I saw at least 4 semis parked with tall grass around them. Thought about you guys. Then I thought about starting them!
I know that I for one would like to see you go back and get that thing going.
Come on you guys you know you can get it started. I got faith in you
I haven’t seen one of them in a long time most people have no idea how cool that things really is.
That’s right
yes come back to it , like to see it run again
Some booster packs might help too. Give it a little more voltage to get it turning. ⚡️⚡️ Thanks for sharing guys....ya'll are the best "not mechanics" on You Tube! 😄 Speaking of which, that would make for a cool new tshirt, "Not mechanics" on the back! God bless and take care! 🙂
😂👍🔧
I need a "I'm NOT a Certified Mechanic" shirt.
Lol.
Yall should definitely do another video on this truck
Ya know, this one was so overgrown, that if it had been painted green, you'd have never found it. LoL
Wisecrack alert: I'm one step away from being rich, all I need is money. As always, all the best to everyone. Chef Scott 👨🍳

hope yall can go back to it sometime
All that trouble and locked up,dang it lol!
Maybe Diesel Creek can tell you about that truck. He has one of those. You guys do a great job on working on those trucks.
Good job and God bless yall
Autocar name is an interesting one too and it is still making trucks. Autocar was the 1st vehicle maker to have left hand side driver which is now a standard for all in USA .
Got to give it one more go at it since it didn't have all the amps needed 4 it great video

Right on. I’m a big DP fan👍
Please make a part 2 on this truck
Hey guys my International cab over with a 350 big cam Cummins in it it took four batteries to get it to turn over good and she set for 10 years before I brought her home I checked oil an coolant put those four batteries in it and she fired up on her old fuel but keep up the good work guys round you up some more batteries and let’s see that thing come to life
Would love to see it roll on its own.
A great find. You should checkout Matt video on "Deisel Creek" on a restored 1980's Autocar. Which he has now back in service.
Matts Autocar looks similar
If yall are goofy enough to go back there I'm goofy enough to watch yall BUT as far as the old Mack cabover, I've watched a video of maybe the Air Force moving missiles with a truck just like that. OD Green to boot and seems like it was in Florida too. So THERE yall and B:ESSINGS!
U guys are great love the videos keep them coming please
Belo caminhão linda máquina gostei passeiro tamo junto gostei do e do vídeo parabéns belo trabalho gostei do caminhão valeu
I know they're expensive but you guys may really benefit from a 12+24 volt jump box some of them will turn stuff over without a battery at all.
Ya 24volt in a short time would work! Definitely not continuously if it is only 12volt.
You have a great Chanel content is great and I appreciate you givin me Somthing to watch while I’m drivin truck thank you
Thank you
Hank and Wiley, have you seen Matt’s Auto-Car he’s using one his channel Diesel Creek? It’s awesome and he might know a lot about the Auto-Car trucks! Just saying brother’s! Enjoyed your videos Hamilton Farms! 👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
I use the zoom on my iPhone to read small print, works great
