Jonathan I'm watching you here Australia & the guy that loves those early c/overs is Tim Gentry at Gentry & Son Trucking in Saltwater Tennesee I'm thinking he would like it.
Not telling you your business cuz I know you know what you're doing my friend but that international sounds a lot better not Freightliner that's a sweet sounding motor a good looking old truck I drove a truck for 28 years back in them days too God bless you enjoy your videos thanks so much for all you do
1981...I was still in elementary school. I saw a lot of those cabovers on the expressway way back when. My uncle(RIP)on my mother's side used to wheel a cabover OTR. Every once in a while, he'd stop by for a visit and take us for a ride around the block. Good times.
I had already been driving for 4 years when that truck was built , Big trucks, not cars . I drove a few of those, I liked the Ford WT 9000, and GMC Astro better, had better heating and A/C than International, PETE, or KW back in 1980, I drove 5 1977 cab overs
Jonathan, keep the Cornbinder and sall the Shaker. Power steering, and a big deal, a reman motor that looks like it hasn't got a lot of miles. Yep, she's the keeper, it would make the most sense. With a little TLC, and a good scrubbing, the Cornbinder aka International would be a good truck for you.
I might have to agree. As long as he spiffs it up some and makes it look as good as the Freightliner. Ehh, tough call. I like Ol' Red bette; much better taken care of.
Just swap the motor in other one and ad steering assist to the red rig. I love them both but old red is more sought after and seeme what he wants. If sold this one can make red even more better
@@a_new_leaf_eric5828 Think about that statement, Where's the sense in that? Do a ton of work to sell a motorless truck, lose money and have less from the sale for the better truck? Plus he's an Inty fan.
2 cool old trucks, and both started easily. I really don't know anything about trucks like this, but I sure do like the way that this one whistles. Thanks for the video. Looking forward to the video. p.s. The International sure did seem to put a little bit more hitch in your get along. Lol.
Brings back memories all the way back to 65 when we go from Virginia to Georgia to get produce. I was a teenager and I could see all the pretty girls in a car. So cool sights also.
When I lived in Texas I was a driver and I would see tires that looked like the ones on your tractor my boss told me that it was from driving a lot of miles on really really hot roads while being way heavy it causes the recaps to break down pretty fast.
This is Alien 👽 from Uranus awesome video 📹 thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos for us to enjoy I believe those tires are like that from sitting in a very sunny area I have a couple that look very similar to those and they have been baking in the sun 🌞 for awhile if that windshield could talk I wonder what stories of traveling down the highways 🛣 and byways delivering products near and far I am your fan Alien 👽 👽🚀321
I spent several years of my life driving and working a fleet of 9670's in the 1980's. There was about 200 of them, all painted green and pulling Great Dane trailers painted white.
Now THAT'S the truck I learned how to drive in. Got all warm and fuzzy as soon as I saw the steering wheel. It fired right up. Yay! Thanks, and Meow to Ninja Catscan.
Jonathan! Two first starts that started so easy ! They both sound good and both need some tlc. I lean towards the International. Dad had a 63 Travelall with a 266 v8 gas motor. Took us kids all over. Hunting trips. Posi 4.11 gear. Reliable transportation. Hard to beat the cornbinders!
I think the truck was run on dirt roads and stone roads. I worked at a tire shop for 20 years changed a lot of dump truck tires that were stone drilled like that or worse. I like the international a lot. Good engine. The skip in your step was awesome. Nice to see you enjoy your self.
Porter greetings! 🤩 Another cabover for ya! 🥰 I’ve never seen the frame setup like that on the back, except on a hydraulic lift unit. Someone had some good reason to put that on the truck! A good safety feature! Cool old truck though. An old cabover that still has style and character…Oh Yeah! 🤩 At least it’s all straight. Needs some new wheels and a major cleanup, but sounds good. Lowboy: You know that there’s more than one way to fix a trailer…roll it over. Lol. At least you could roll it on its side. Ok now…you have TWO cabovers…you are lucky!!! I bet you might have some interest in one of them. I like them both. Maybe I should make my way down and check this one out. 🧐
Comes down to what gearing it has- My boss bought one of those corn binders without test driving- top speed of 57 miles an hour. Check the top speeds before selling them, one might be a slow truck.
You know you're getting old when you don't consider something made in the 80's that old. Only when you look back and see it was 40 years ago it hits you. I feel even older now.
Having spent SOME TIME behind the wheel of a corn binder, going cross country, I loved mine. Just had to stay on top of the screws in the cab. I wish that I could have kept it. Mine had a Cummins with a 13 speed, she was sweet from Maine to Shaky and everywhere in between. You won't be upset if you keep her.
I bought a pair of Harley Davidson boots on ebay... the rubber just crumbled off the first time I wore 'em. Probably fire damage. Love your videos!!! Peace my friend.
I was at the antique national this passed week there were a lot of cab over freightliner at the show if you sell the freightliner check with the antique guys in n c. They would want it. Great video as always love the old international put a lot miles on a few running the east coast
I sure thought you were going to crush the Sebring convertible. That’d make my day! I’ve fix too many water leaks working for Chrysler in back in the day.
I drove an International bobtail in the late 80's while travelling with a band. The ignition key switch was a weak spot in the mid 80's models, too. We hotwired ours, I eventually put a starter button inline.
Took over a fleet of ill-maintained school buses, some years ago. All the older Diesel busses had throttle linkage problems. I replaced all the joints and bushings with good results! Enjoy your videos.
Johnathan is spoiling me with all these wonderful first starts and I like it. haha And yes...hard to believe that 1980's and early 1990's vehicles are antiques now according to many states antique laws. That makes me feel younger now at 50 years old. hahaha
mechanical throttle linkage is why wire cable is the better way to go. nice looking rig for the age. if you didn't pay a lot, its a keeper to fix up, because you won't be driving more than 200,00 mile per year
My uncle use to drive a binder just like that one, when I was a kid. I think once you get it fixed up, you might fall in love with it and have to keep her.
That manual was just to say that it met 1977 emissions, not the actual year of it. 1977 was when the Big Cam 1 came out replacing the Small Cam to meet the new emission laws.
When I was a boy my Dad drove one of these. The company bought a bunch brand new, and I remember him getting in trouble for switching his seat out of his old trick before they got rid of it.
The Fruitliner has the cool factor and maybe looks a tad better style-wise. But that 9670 lit right off (good pump) and power steering is good, especially in your business. If the clutch is decent (?), I'd prolly look to keep that one. Take the biggest air source you have an tornado out that cab, then look her over again. I'm a big fan of white or light gray bed-liner as a cabin top material. Keeps em a bit quieter and waterproofs the old tops. The outside is chipping and flaking, so maybe spray it in your livery and roll on :-)
Recaps may have been too dry or old stock from when newly vulcanized too them tires & likely had a lot of hours of bobtail (or empty trailer weight) gravel road &/or gravel yard movin’ around.. chews up them recaps quickly, especially with little to no payload weight
No brainer on a fairly new engine like that to keep the binder. That looks like it would have been a pretty nice looking truck in the day and maybe yet still.
I used to work at transcraft trailers and we specifically lengthened all ringle trailers with a 3-ft eye beam and had to be welded out very meticulously
Hey Jonathan. The wear on the tires on the internatonal look a lot like rock where I see it out here on desert tell use all the time. Keep up the good work love your videos signing off Arizona Johny
There's a 7.8L Ford Cargo sitting in a used car lot to the northwest of me. It last ran twelve years ago and hasn't been moved since. The cab is full of dust from the wind blowing over the sand on the lot.
I drove a 9670 for a couple years and owned a 78 FL. I liked the IHC a lot better. Never touch the throttle on a diesel until the clutch is out all the way. If you are loosing air, find out why before you even try to move it. Major safety issue. Sounds like you have a blown brake pot. Very common. Have fun with the old girl. I still like those. FYI, those tires likely got rubbed on the underside of the trailer on uneven ground or something like that. Maybe some kind of real rough driving surface. If you are around big trucks enough, you will see a lot of that stuff..
I drove one of those back and forth to the west coast back in those years, it was just about the same color as this one! They are pretty strong trucks.
Jonathan, that tire may have been a " ban-dag or " band-aid" tire where they heat the gold tread and apply a new over it..i have seen them separate and it looked similar to that, as if they didn't heat and melt the old tread properly before adding a new tread. I'd forgotten how confined those cab overs were compared to a conventional ( long nose) Back when I drove long haul we referred to these as: International=cornbinder Cummins= come on you can make it . Cab over= coffin on wheels Detroit's= road oilers Passenger side= jump seat or shot gun
O-H-I-O Porters🇺🇸 It 2024…This was a cool truck back in 1981 & still is today. Did you get rid of this one already? It sure would make a nice cabover for someone! I own a 95 Walmart IH & I love it! Cabovers Rule!🥰🤩✌️
1981 I was working as a machinist for a company named drillco in Houston, they had s fleet of brand new cab overs like that one but hunter green they were beautiful... I'd keep the newer and better of the two good luck
I'm a fan of ol Jonathan...and he knows alot about alot... And after he drives a few more he will realize all the smooth tractor clutches (hydraulic) don't engage til the very top... nothing like automobiles... I'd say that clutch is more than fine... especially as fast as it fired up... someone took care of it mechanically at least
I would say check that international out more . Nut you are right for what you showed here so far I say the international is your better one to hold on too. An you have a remaned engine too, an maybe a trans with less miles on....
Nice international. They were good trucks. Not fancy like a KW or Pete, but got the job done. Quite a turbo whistle though. Thought you were going to back into that white convertible for a second though! Don’t think I’ve ever seen a lowboy trailer tongue tied to a tree before!
I was loading a new Volvo compactor on a trailer yesterday that had a 88 International CO on it. The driver said he was taking it to Florida to get work done on it.
Can't figure what happened to the tires. In a way it looks like someone was playing around and doing burnouts, or trying to anyway. I didn't see any rubber stuck to the fender however. Maybe if they WERE "pharting" around, there wasn't enough wheel speed to fling the rubber on to the fender.....I don't know. It's a mystery. Anyway, Jonathan said he wasn't going to use them so, no worries. I like that little hop he did. Like, "I did it, I did it. Hee hee"! Enjoyed this one too, Jonathan.
Excellent video Johnathan :) those International trucks last long time my dad had lots them also on Fire department he was with had them in 3 to 9 ton tanks with flat face ones and long noses ! I remember fire department had1980 flat nose cab with sin bunk plus 600 gallon tank single axle in Desiel motor 6 cylinder cab lock open on them so had make new lock mechanism with angle iron 2 inch × 2 inches and be weld on back cab triangle shape with heavy duty tow chain to frame bolt up when need took chains off frame ! But if need tilt had use floor jack with 4×4 24 inches blocks with circle metal caps on top also bottom one on left and right too get cab open up was quite interesting but worked if saw it and chuckle about! Cliff friend of family was fire department he was one thought that ideas!
The internationals are well assembled rigs and parts are not bad for they still manufacture them in Canada. I will admit glass for that freightliner is flat glass and much cheaper to buy or install. I don't have much to say on three hundred cummins but inside them are all the same cubic inches of displacement. I am quite sure that there are a few who know how to turn them up and get more power out of them. I know I started driving on a cummins engine and it only had 165 horsepower... I liked that I could finally drive with the others and in those days most trucks didn't have so much power as it was in gears they got speed out of them. It just seemed to me to have more room to move around in the cab in the international truck. All in all, good times ahead in fixing one up and driving it till the wheels fall off
I like that International. Both of them look like pretty good tractors. I agree with you on the way they look. I like the patina. You could spray a couple coats of clear on them. Just to maintain it.
Cabovers are great for city deliveries where they can get into tighter docks than a conventional, but they're also deathtraps - they can't take a side impact. Because of the cab lock design, a side impact can break off the lock on the impact side of the cab, and allow the forward momentum of the impact to twist the cab enough that the other cab lock is pushed out of alignment. This allows the cab to be tipped forward, ejecting the driver. It happened to me in 1992. When I was hit, the seat belt broke and I went through the windshield. The fractured skull I received blinded me in the right eye and ended my career.
1981...40 years ago. No wonder I feel so tired, I'm damded old.
I feel your "pain". Just turned 76 today. Never thought I'd live this long.
@@richardcline1337 well happy birthday and congratulations on that note sir
@@albertjones6176, thank you so very much!
I remember those International cab overs . I drove a few “ back in the day” 👍👍
Lmao, sorry ! You poor guy!
Yep trans star n then the 9670 6 92 detroit n 2 55 ac units
Time is a scary thing 1980 my kid were little and I was starting to be a truck mechanic. Today its all an arthritic memory.
Love that old Cummins turbo whistle !!
Brought back memories as soon as I heard that sound. I drove quite a few Cummins over the years.
@@MaxNafeHorsemanship me too .........
Stone roads happened to mine all the time in the oil fields in North Dakota.
Yup I run aggregate and it’s always rough
You got that Waylon Wire pep to your step! Keep the IH. Give it a paint job.
I caught that too Kevin, i think its funny so many of us watch the same channels 😊
That’s the 1 step that made me dislike this video! 🤣🤣🤣
Nice looking old International cabover it sounds good and runs good 👍

Cummins diesel sounds just fine in your cornbinder!! Gravel and stone eats up rubber tires.Decent tractor.Hope you make a nice profit, Jonathan.
I sure thought you were going to crush the Sebring convertible. That’d make my day! I’ve fix too many water leaks working for Chrysler in back in the day.

Great to see ‘em running and put back to work!
Thanks once again Mr. W
God Bless

Always like your first starts.
That throttle linkage is sketchier than the go karts we built when I was a kid haha
I drove an International bobtail in the late 80's while travelling with a band. The ignition key switch was a weak spot in the mid 80's models, too. We hotwired ours, I eventually put a starter button inline.
I would keep the International it has a remained engine.
That turbo whistle always reminds me of that film 'The Hitcher'. Terrifying!
👍👌👏 The second nearly unbeliiiievably easy first started semi truck. Congratulations for those puechases.
Took over a fleet of ill-maintained school buses, some years ago. All the older Diesel busses had throttle linkage problems. I replaced all the joints and bushings with good results! Enjoy your videos.
Like the corn binder. Good luck with the cab overs take care buddy
The young lad on Not for hire has recently bought and got goin a 88 Freightliner cabover, worth a look, he done good.
That Guy must have taken care of His truck's because both of them kicked right over. 👏

Nice international. They were good trucks. Not fancy like a KW or Pete, but got the job done. Quite a turbo whistle though. Thought you were going to back into that white convertible for a second though!
Don’t think I’ve ever seen a lowboy trailer tongue tied to a tree before!
Morning Jonathan, I had not doughbt the old IH was going to start, if anything you have a good truck for parts for your Freightliner..
..GOD BLESS!!!!
I was loading a new Volvo compactor on a trailer yesterday that had a 88 International CO on it. The driver said he was taking it to Florida to get work done on it.
anybody using a WIX filter has got to be good on maintenance thats a good sign looks like the International would be the better keeper
Can't figure what happened to the tires. In a way it looks like someone was playing around and doing burnouts, or trying to anyway. I didn't see any rubber stuck to the fender however. Maybe if they WERE "pharting" around, there wasn't enough wheel speed to fling the rubber on to the fender.....I don't know. It's a mystery.

Tell Tim Gentry about your old Cornbinder cabover. He likes these old rigs. He has a You-Tube channel as well.
I’m partial to IH trucks in 1974 first semi I ever drove was a 1970 cab over Transtar back then 7out of 10 trucks were IH
That skip 😂🤣😂
That was either a skip and jump or a hoppity kick

I was born 30 years before this truck was made, and, yeah, I definitely think about it!!!
That is one cool truck! I really like the paint-job and the sound of the Cummins. should make a really nice truck when cleaned up.
I was driving an old transtar hook truck. 400 Cummins. Was a rocket
Greetings from Southern Australia.
Those tyres look like they have been used on 3 inch ballast logging roads.
Rough gravel roads will do that to tires.
That telephone pole gave you that dual pipe simulator. Bwahhhhh!
Amazing how those Cummins engines fire right up without a problem even after not being run for long periods of time.
Excellent video Johnathan :) those International trucks last long time my dad had lots them also on Fire department he was with had them in 3 to 9 ton tanks with flat face ones and long noses ! I remember fire department had1980 flat nose cab with sin bunk plus 600 gallon tank single axle in Desiel motor 6 cylinder cab lock open on them so had make new lock mechanism with angle iron 2 inch × 2 inches and be weld on back cab triangle shape with heavy duty tow chain to frame bolt up when need took chains off frame ! But if need tilt had use floor jack with 4×4 24 inches blocks with circle metal caps on top also bottom one on left and right too get cab open up was quite interesting but worked if saw it and chuckle about! Cliff friend of family was fire department he was one thought that ideas!
The internationals are well assembled rigs and parts are not bad for they still manufacture them in Canada. I will admit glass for that freightliner is flat glass and much cheaper to buy or install. I don't have much to say on three hundred cummins but inside them are all the same cubic inches of displacement. I am quite sure that there are a few who know how to turn them up and get more power out of them. I know I started driving on a cummins engine and it only had 165 horsepower... I liked that I could finally drive with the others and in those days most trucks didn't have so much power as it was in gears they got speed out of them. It just seemed to me to have more room to move around in the cab in the international truck. All in all, good times ahead in fixing one up and driving it till the wheels fall off
I like that International. Both of them look like pretty good tractors. I agree with you on the way they look. I like the patina. You could spray a couple coats of clear on them. Just to maintain it.
Tires have the winter traction option.
Another successful video. Well done.
Cabovers are great for city deliveries where they can get into tighter docks than a conventional, but they're also deathtraps - they can't take a side impact.
Because of the cab lock design, a side impact can break off the lock on the impact side of the cab, and allow the forward momentum of the impact to twist the cab enough that the other cab lock is pushed out of alignment. This allows the cab to be tipped forward, ejecting the driver.
It happened to me in 1992. When I was hit, the seat belt broke and I went through the windshield. The fractured skull I received blinded me in the right eye and ended my career.
