My dad had a b-61 with a dolly and a Rogers traitor. He used it to move his D-7’s around with. When I got older I drove it many times . When he passed away ,one of my brothers sold it . I tried to buy it back but it was already parted out .
Back in the mid 90's.. I ran across an old 1972 IH Loadstar 1700 w/304cid - 5spd single spd rear, 5 yrd dump bed.. I bought it just to restore, go to truck shows, etc. - I'm a retired Union Elevator Mechanic.. turned wrenches for 40+ yrs (since I was a kid too 😊) .. I simply tore it down in my shop, rebuilt it from ground up, new paint, etc. - I had every single item working on it.. added a cool Pioneer stereo system, custom built speaker box behind the seat.. it was one sharp looking 1700!!.. it SHINED!.. I did not build it w/ intention of it being put back to work.. just do shows w/ it.. enjoyed it greatly about 4 yrs.. local guy made me a RIDICULOUS offer on it.. well, if he wanted to pay that amount of $$$ for it... Sold!!.. that's been 25 yrs ago.. it is about 12 miles from my house now.. flipping guy drove it home.. parked it beside his shop in PRISTINE condition.. TO THIS DAY!!.. it has NEVER once moved!!.. TRUE STORY!!.. from the day he bought it.. he drove it home and parked it.. dont bother me.. I made BANK off of it.. I just thought it kinda shitty at first.. I see it all the time .. dont let it bother me anymore.. STILL has the SAME 25 yr old brand new tires on it!!
The farm I worked at back in the 1980s had a green and white International 2010A. Tandem axle, 290 Cummins, 13 over with 513 gears in the back. She wasn't the nicest as far as creature comforts go but that was the most dependable truck I ever drove. She would pull the world. I seen her pull 1200 bushels of beans out of the field when their newer 4070 Transtar II would not. It was grossing over 95,000 lbs. It was great farm truck.
I had several of them old B-61 Macks. I ran mine OTR pretty much anywhere there was Milk cows being moved. Those were truly the good old days. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking me along for the ride. Oh yeah, a good tune up is all your IH needs. Use a paper matchbook cover or a fresh dollar bill folded in half to gap your points and advance the timing ever so slightly. Make sure she's got a good clean air ffilter and fuel filter. She'll do you a fine job. It should get about 6 or 7 mpg. once you get it tuned up and running right. Gas was only 40 cents per gallon in that trucks hay day.
The 549 was worked harder than it probably had been in the past 30 years. I like the old IH gas burners. Rare to find a IH that old that's not a rust bucket.
@@MichaelTJD60 in the 70s my Dad showed me how to seat a bead with the ether that came in a can like brake fluid. That tire and rim jumped off the ground with a cap full. It would take a whole can in a hot tire now.
Out city had a fleetstar schoolbus. Early 70s. They bring that out when our regular bus goes in for inspection. Its noisy, gutless just like this one. Brings back memories.
We had Loadstar busses with the 394 V-8 and they sure ran the hills here with no trouble. We had a S1900 farm truck with I think it was a 446 gas V-8 it was thirsty but it also had pretty good power hauling 4 cords of firewood.
That International brought back good memories. My Dad had a late 60s Loadstar with a 5 speed, 2 speed axle. It was originally a tractor and converted into a single axle dump truck.. I learn to drive on that truck 😃👍
That brings back such memories. My dad had a 1966 Loadstar 1600 with dump bed for hauling grain to the elevator. Loved driving that thing. Looks like that thing has "Rolls Kenardly" syndrome - Rolls down one hill and Kenardly get up the next. Hopefully a tune up and tweak the timing ( making sure vacuum advance is working) will give her a little more pep. Dad's International had the 304 V8. It ran good but had to make sure she was getting full fuel to the carb and proper ignition timing or she wouldn't pull herself.
Nice combo for retrieving big,old toys. The 2010A seems like a good candidate for going through and bringing it back up to easily useable condition ( not having to jumpstart,etc.).
Man, you guys salvaged two old rigs and trailer and drove/hauled them out?! Epic! 🙌 I don't think i've seen that before. Beautiful scenery. I drove lil bro to the Intl Fleetstar, a loadstar dump in college, w/a 4 speed split- awesome trucks, gassers are gutless, but fun to drive empty.
We have got a 2070A with a 6 71 Detroit. Hauls ~600 bushels, and thats all you want in it LOL. stick it in low and let the ol detroit eat going up hills! speedo is bouncing between 3 - 10 mph, feels like 2 though. but she is rusted out, Im surprised that one is such good shape. Great video!
The International looks like a good candidate for a Cummins 8.3 litre. A couple hundred extra ft/lbs of torque and a lot better economy. Probably make a good video series if you guys did it.
that truck doesn't sound great at all my grandfather had A old international just like that. was on his proterty used to ride around in it with him when I was a kid he passed away and sold everything on the property God bless him
The driving portion reminded me of hauling our D6 cat home with our IH R-200. Has a red diamond 450 inline six gasser with 5 and 2. Tulsa winch and gin poles
Reminds me a bit of my own projects, take some advice from someone who learned the hard way, clean out that fuel system and keep the tanks full of ethanol free gas with some kind of lead additive. Other than that I wish you the best with these, I’m certain they’re in good hands!
Yeah this thing would really benefit from a good fuel system cleaning and carb overhaul. The carb was finicky and it had to burn off what was left of the old gas before we filled the tanks up.
@@MichaelTJD60 I was really glad to see you all made it to your destination with that bad fuel, running in bad fuel is what took my L model Mack out of service for a while... she’s still not quite right but usually a good shot of lead additive seems to get her running the way she should again!
We didn't make the trip home with the old fuel. We poured about 20 gallons of fresh gas in before leaving, and then stopped to fill up both tanks again once we were on the road. It will definitely need the fuel system cleaned before it's ready to be put to use.
@@MichaelTJD60 I got that but still whatever was in the tanks is a miracle you didn’t cause the valves to stick and whatnot... even with pouring in fresh fuel on my truck, as the bad stuff left over worked it’s way through it messed up the fuel system pretty bad! All the pushrods had to be replaced after freeing up the valves and both fuel pumps had to be replaced... Like I said, I’m glad to see you all didn’t suffer similar issues!
@@CaptainCrutch Ouch! It's amazing what kind of damage bad gasoline can do. Doesn't help that most of the fuel they sell these days contains part ethanol/water either.
Il est beau ce camion 👍👍 y va démarrer oui oui beau tableau de bord 👍👍 ah ça y est hé hé c est bon 👍👍👍🍺 formidable 😁😁😁😘😘😘🙋♀️🙋♀️ faut bien le garder 🙋♀️🙋♀️
I had a B61 looked just like that up in northwestern pa. Sold it quite a few years ago but don't remember where it ended up. It was a 1958. Thermodyne NA engine, quadraplex 20spd
I used to drive a fleetstar ran on propane. Sitting in a field now. I could probably get it for free but it needs a little work. He gave away the 76 cabover day cab Pete I drove after that. I wish I had that one
I had a 1969 International 2010 single axle tractor with a RED DIAMOND Inline 6 gas guzzler and a 5-speed workin 4&5 and a electric 2- speed with a 23,000# rear end on springs just like that one oh but that spring under the back of the cab gave it a sweet ride!
I drove one just like it, Had a boom and flatbed on it. It liked the gas though, It had electric fuel pumps in the tanks. I hauled steel mining pins in W.Va. Lot of hilly roads. lol
Old school are much easier to drive and doing maintenance on it. Very cool. Never knew that international 75 was power by gas. I though it was a 466 engine mechanical power. Still cool. That Mack need new air lines and lot more on the list.
Change the coil that back fire will go away. I had that exact truck for over tweny years the coil went out numorouse times back fied like this truck was doing.
Saw on the DBD FB group I’m a mutual member of the engine in this one shit the bed after you guys got it back. That’s a shame first the General with the 318 then this one both making it all the way home then blowing up, but that’s the way it goes with old trucks.
Unfortunately that's part of the game. It's always a gamble buying a used piece of equipment. Luckily we were only 25 miles from home this time instead of 250 when the General blew up. The IH will be getting another 549 put in by its new owner. It left for Maine two days ago.
@@MichaelTJD60 cool to know. Sadly it appears RUclips is down so I only got to watch about 40 seconds of the video before it quit. Really odd comments etc are working for everyone but videos won’t play for several hundred thousand customers.
She did eat internationals here or the best ones that did to have half the move. They move cars and stuff and trucks. I'd never get rid of these. These. These are the best of international trucks they keep up in your fleet
Old IH is working... burning a lot of fuel and going slow, but it's doing the job.. I learned stick on a Loadstar 1600. A pair of cherry bombs would make you feel faster., not like it has a good radio anyways.
Send the VIN for the Mack to the Mack museum and they'll pull the production record on that truck you'll know how it was spec'd, when exactly it was built, who initially ordered it. They keep the build sheet info on every truck they make, even that far back.
As far as I know, the museum has been shut down for months. It took them 6+ months (maybe closer to a year) to send the paperwork for his Superliner after he bought it two years ago....this B-61 won't be around that long, he might have it sold already.
I use to drive a Fleetstar it was white with a gold interior. It was set as a double knuckle crane truck. It some kind of big gas engine with a dinky carburetor.
My dad had an old International a couple of years older than the first one that had a chassis that could be extended. He had to carry a longer drive shaft. I'm not sure of the model. He also had a cracker box jimmy.
I'm hear because of the B-61 First truck I drove back in 1968 Twin screw 5&4 Diesel, never forget that huge white steering wheel . That Corn binder can't pass a gas station .
Any of those big gas V eights need high test gasoline to run properly and the lead additive the unleaded fuel makes it run to lean and usually blows the exhaust manifold gaskets if you were pulling a hill at night the manifolds will be glowing
High-test or recreational gas would definitely help this one run better. A local gas station sells 91-octane recreational gas with no ethanol...that's what this truck needs.
Nice score! Bet you were getting all kinds of looks from people, hauling a B model Mack with an IH Fleetstar, definitely not something you see everyday.
One guy walking down the street complimented us at a stop light, but the only looks we got were from people who were probably pissed at us for blocking a busy intersection when it stalled and wouldn't restart 😬
The B model I used for parts for my B75 and some other trucks then sold the driveline to repower a B60. All to good use. The IH went to Maine for restoration and a guy bought the lowboy the day I got it home. I purchased these from a fella with Dementia. He and his wife were selling some things that were a burden on them
What were the different features of the 1890? Models ending with "50" were diesels, "00" gas. The diesels seem to be extremely rare. I presently have a 73 Loadstar 1700 with a 392, used to have a 74 1800 with air brakes, also 392. I love these old beasts.
@@highgate4767 I,am not sure this was gas 345 oil bath air cleaner, air brakes 5 speed manual no 2 speed , was real heavy duty 33,000 gvw maybe the 90 was for air brakes , was 1969 year
Is it stuck, you might have to pull start it rite, kool I want a 1975 or older gas powered 5 th wheel air brake truck too, I’m in California, and need to get away from the bull S of the carb, crap 💩 , on diesels, thanks y’all BigAl California.
Dang that is a nice rig I always liked internationals trucks the load star fleet star and transtar always stuck out to me good luck with the trucks I have more videos coming as well I got a simplicity 4212 yes I know it’s not a garden tractor but it’s hydro and it’s a nice lawn tractor thanks for the fun videos I’ve had about enough of listening to polotics lol I’m a trump supporter don’t hate on me if you aren’t lol
I apologize for any political ads on this video...not what I intended. But what do you expect during election week...🙄

Wow, I'm amazed he paid top dollar for it just to let it sit. I bet it would fire right up if he were to put it back on the road, though!
Reminds me of Snowrunner I love my international fleetstar
ya this is my go to truck for Black River
The game's hero..
What a satisfying drive that must have been. A basic service and wash would be such a good feel for her

More like 1 to 3 mpg...
That's a beauty in good order I have never seen one that late in production
Just started work on my 1977 Loadstar 1700 project. I love these old Internationals.
Luxury, ashtray on the dash and AM radio,,great triple gold find guys,,!
That fleetstar was in really good shape for a 1975 most of the early 70s binders cabs rusted bad we had loadstar 1800 gas jobs miss those days
The 549 was worked harder than it probably had been in the past 30 years. I like the old IH gas burners. Rare to find a IH that old that's not a rust bucket.
478 549 were a real powerhouse, real hard on gas when u worked them hard.this truck should have a electric primer for fuel,no either needed
187 hp on that 673 Mack. That's a hell of a truck too!
That International looks great and the Mack both are worth saving, For a 75 and 61 you know they don't make em this good any more.
some beautiful countryside for an adventure like that... nice video
Cool old rigs for sure. Love the backfire right after the 5th wheel locked in at 8:20 and the horn on the Mack was great lol
Should have heard it backfiring when we came through town lol....I'm surprised nobody came running outside to see what the noise was.
I like the starting fluid comment.
People still believe the cheap ether sold today would even ether lock a motor.
Exactly. It would take a LOT of that stuff to do significant damage to an engine.
@@MichaelTJD60 in the 70s my Dad showed me how to seat a bead with the ether that came in a can like brake fluid. That tire and rim jumped off the ground with a cap full. It would take a whole can in a hot tire now.

That ole IH is awesome! As you know, we’ve got that 1600 that’s a ‘75 and it’s a sweet machine.
Love that old Fleestar, sounds pretty good going down the road! Hope to see a video of that Mack getting fired up eventually!
Beautiful trucks, in beautiful shape! Awesome your resurrecting them
Love ‘em both, what a great pair of trucks. 30mph though you can see why those old time guys spent six days on the road... 😄
What an awesome combo of machinery! Nice shots at the end too.
Thanks!
My god those are nice rigs, I think I have an obsession with old trucks!
Welcome to the addiction. Lol
What an adventure and what a find! Some folks have all the luck...
I like the truck! Love seeing these super old startups!
Wow...I would love to have that ol Binder...great find Congratulations!
Nice combo for retrieving big,old toys. The 2010A seems like a good candidate for going through and bringing it back up to easily useable condition ( not having to jumpstart,etc.).
my dad drove a mack like that one when I was a kid early 60's
You never forget those pretty old Bulldogs
This is awesome. Would love a setup like this. Heck I’d just drive around.
That International is really cool
man that old cornbinder runs sweet
sweet rig mate, love the colour
I drove one similar to that, but it had a 238 Detroit Diesel, with a 10 speed. A good truck for what it was, just not fast, or a heavy hauler.
Bet after a little tinkering that ol mack will run. I've always wanted a b 61 since I was kid
This one's for sale if you are interested. Would make a great project.
Oh i've driven at lot of Fleetstar in SnowRunner :D Sturdy beast!
I play too
Man, you guys salvaged two old rigs and trailer and drove/hauled them out?! Epic! 🙌 I don't think i've seen that before. Beautiful scenery. I drove lil bro to the Intl Fleetstar, a loadstar dump in college, w/a 4 speed split- awesome trucks, gassers are gutless, but fun to drive empty.
I was just eyeballing a b61 for sale ad the other day they are definitely cool trucks
Yeah they are. The guy driving in this video has 3 of them.
Hope you save both trucks love em both.
We have got a 2070A with a 6 71 Detroit. Hauls ~600 bushels, and thats all you want in it LOL. stick it in low and let the ol detroit eat going up hills! speedo is bouncing between 3 - 10 mph, feels like 2 though. but she is rusted out, Im surprised that one is such good shape. Great video!
Those Detroits are good at turning fuel into noise! lol.
Awsome old trucks..hope you restore the mac
That would be very enjoyable to drive after the manifold / doughnut gaskets were replaced. If that’s what i hear.
478 549 were famous for manifold and head pipe leaks,with the floating cab manifold bolts were a bear
What a combo truck and trailer neva seen petrol won them before also most Mack in Australia are air start
both of these trucks look cool A/F
The International looks like a good candidate for a Cummins 8.3 litre. A couple hundred extra ft/lbs of torque and a lot better economy. Probably make a good video series if you guys did it.
@jdog942 Not everybody has a BR-549.
nah. it's just perfect with the gas engine.
Love the Fleetstar...real man's truck.
Nice video,that International seems to run and drive pretty good.They"re real trucks.Hope you do follow up vids on that Mack.
He's had a couple interested buyers, but who knows, if it ends up staying maybe we can try starting it.
that truck doesn't sound great at all my grandfather had A old international just like that. was on his proterty used to ride around in it with him when I was a kid he passed away and sold everything on the property God bless him
Should take the engine out and put a Cummins in it like Weston champlin did on his channel
You can lug down those old binder gassers all day!
Some nice truck there
Just fell completely in love with that Mack! Superb!
Fleetstar is really in good shape👍
All u need now is a medium size dozer/trackhoe, id love to have that lowboy!!!
Love air start .My diesels always start once fired and run touch key away we go
10:31 horn works..... LOL

I never knew these trucks could be set up for propane. Wonder how many fleets actually ran propane-powered units.
It was gutless as hell and always had issues with the carb. It needs brakes and some other minor things but it would still be a cool ride
I swear that 2010a is the same truck I drove for a crane and rigging co in Portsmouth NH.
Cool old trucks!!!!
I owned 1974 2070 with a small cam 290,10spd,with 4:10 rears. Pulled like a raped ape and got 4mpg but back then who even thought about mileage.
I had a 1969 International 2010 single axle tractor with a RED DIAMOND Inline 6 gas guzzler and a 5-speed workin 4&5 and a electric 2- speed with a 23,000# rear end on springs just like that one oh but that spring under the back of the cab gave it a sweet ride!
Que camión en sus añosheran incontrolables en las rutas uruguayas precioso camión
first tandem i ever drove was a 55 r model ih 450 red diamond 6 cyl gas with a 5and a 3 way ten yard box hauled lots of gravel with it
That old corn husker will pull those hills but just dont plan on it doing it in a hurry
Great video!
You can drive this truck in a game called snowrunner. You can haul logs, metal beams of just offroad
It'd be nice if Sabre gave us the option to rebuild the main roads in the game
I drove one just like it, Had a boom and flatbed on it. It liked the gas though, It had electric fuel pumps in the tanks. I hauled steel mining pins in W.Va. Lot of hilly roads. lol

Nice score! Bet you were getting all kinds of looks from people, hauling a B model Mack with an IH Fleetstar, definitely not something you see everyday.
One guy walking down the street complimented us at a stop light, but the only looks we got were from people who were probably pissed at us for blocking a busy intersection when it stalled and wouldn't restart 😬
Love the channel man!
Thank you!

What did you do with the trucks...
They and the trailer were both sold a couple weeks after this video was taken.
The B model I used for parts for my B75 and some other trucks then sold the driveline to repower a B60. All to good use. The IH went to Maine for restoration and a guy bought the lowboy the day I got it home. I purchased these from a fella with Dementia. He and his wife were selling some things that were a burden on them
I would love to buy that lowboy
How close to the old state hospital are you would not mind seeing the shop and talking old trucks. I'm in Point Twp over the west branch.
looks good , that 345 or 404 i have a rare 1890 model loadstar, 5 speed wish it had the 2 speed axle though
What were the different features of the 1890? Models ending with "50" were diesels, "00" gas.
The diesels seem to be extremely rare.
I presently have a 73 Loadstar 1700 with a 392, used to have a 74 1800 with air brakes, also 392. I love these old beasts.
@@highgate4767 I,am not sure this was gas 345 oil bath air cleaner, air brakes 5 speed manual no 2 speed , was real heavy duty 33,000 gvw maybe the 90 was for air brakes , was 1969 year
I bet that binder is a rough riding old cuss 2 really nice trucks there
It had the bounce cab.... honestly rode pretty nice
Is it stuck, you might have to pull start it rite, kool I want a 1975 or older gas powered 5 th wheel air brake truck too, I’m in California, and need to get away from the bull S of the carb, crap 💩 , on diesels, thanks y’all BigAl California.
