I’m very late to this party. Here’s my comment. Wes is probably the most scrupulously honest mechanic I’ve ever seen in my life. If I would have dented that water pump pulley, even on my own vehicle, I probably would have knocked it back the other way with a hammer and forgotten about it. The fact that Wes bothered to grind it, braze or weld it, then make an arbor to true the grooves on a lathe staggers me. That’s a level of care that I didn’t know existed anywhere. My hat is off to Wes!!
That's the good stuff, spray it in your eye, your son is adorable, love the vids, my daughter gets into my tools when I take her to grandmas in my truck.
Worked on Fedex trucks for a couple years. They didn't baby them either. Every part I can remember changing came off as easy as your water pump . Hard to resist the sweet song of the hammer. Ill just give it a couple taps. She's coming off one way or the other ;-) Really good video Wes. Old truck seems to run good . Thumbs up.
Well I'm a big fan of percussive maintenance, but I got a little too carried away and pulled a millwright... When I worked in the truck shop we had a 75 ton press. A few times we would set something up at 75 tons of pressure and hose it down with oil and go home for the night. In the morning it was a scavenger hunt for all the pieces.
@@WatchWesWork bought chinese re core,. rad guy said, see you in 12 months,, ?. o.k.,, 12 months give a wk,, it blew.. he fixed it,, said,, no probs from now on, had it 5 yrs now..
Enjoyed this episode immensely, especially your discussion about shifting that rig. For many years I drove a Mack, five speed, four axle ranges, and no synchro. Double clutch always, matching the rpms to go from one range to the next.
That whole truck cab will be rusty and gone and that motor will still run. Mechanical injection no egr, no dpf it won't win any races but it will get you there. Miss the days when things were more simple, I'm a new subscriber, you really put out some good video's thanks for your time.
Nice old Intershmashable, they never got any love just beat like a rented mule. Villages and towns used them and they would hire an idiot that was related to someone to run it and after beating them a few years they "are now experts" on beating them. People buy them and try to drive them as fast as they can. A little vinegar and water in a spray bottle helps kids learn to leave them alone. Works for a cat that will not leave you alone and you really do not want it ran over. A japanese friend of mine from college talked something about a short 4 but not sure what he was saying often. You already sold that but if you go to 2nd for a second then go to reverse she may be happier. Thanks for the video to watch.
Hey Wes, I sell Henderson Products and ice equipment, every now and then I’ll come across a township or small town which still operates that very truck... 5 speed and all. Generally once the old timer who oversaw the equipment retires, those trucks are immediately put on Gov Deals. Lol But with that, long live the venerable DT466!
I love old Internationals too. I have a '92 4700 with an Allison Automatic and 265,000 miles that will outwork a Ford or Chevy cab and chassis any day of the week. She's slow but she never quits.
hay wes from australia, like and support your battles with the old trucks. got a chill just looking at all the snow, sadly ddid you see all the fires here ? some were about 10 miles from and all the burnt sheep ,kangaroos-koalas makes and old man cry
Dude, try this one out. Way better than soap. Squirt the hose end with carb cleaner and slide it on. You have to slide it on within...meh....about 10 seconds or it dries. Truly plenty of time. It works great!
Work at a Peterbilt dealer. 90% of the time we use aftermarket radiators, CAC, and condenser from Northern. Pretty rarely do we have any complaints. But mostly its the $700 price tag vs $2500 for OEM
The Austin Powers reference made me laugh Wes...well done sir. As far as the “careless mistake” goes with beating the life out of the water pump pulley. It may have taken some extra time to repair the damage the bolt resizer did but given how hard it was to get off the truck it must have at least been satisfying to swing away right? There’s always room for mechanic revenge on rust in my view.
Lol what a cute kid. My boy (a little more than 1-1/2yrs old) goes in my box and sticks specifically my 3/8" drive six point sockets in his pockets haha.
That stack of v-belts is ridiculous. Too bad they didn't use a serp setup, but this is probably before they became so popular. "Tensioning nightmare" indeed.
Believe it or not there is a scientific method to the heat and hammer. It changes the state of the metal. I learn so much watching videos. Wes you're the best. You should have been a shop teacher.
I always enjoy your videos. Don't know how you got so knowledgeable about vehicles (and electronics too). Just to say I'd have liked to see the machining of those pulleys too.
I had 9500 G M C had a coolant filter truck ran good but no heat , changed filter and got heat in cab. Good old days when fall came you put a light in the cab went out side and pluged every hole that you saw light through L O L .
Loved my 1754 juice brakes...6 speedx2...thoe it had a dt360A...i had to do a engine stap. Wich i went up to a dt466..no one told me till after i got a replacement dt360...plowing type w live shaft out the hole in the radiator after cooler was the hole radiator not a side by side type..3000 rpm till you get it done...loved the hills
Good for you. It may be just a pully on a piece o junk truck but your name is on every job you do. You almost never see pride in chraftsmanship like that anymore. Great videos THANK YOU and god bless.
re your winter ... we are having the warmest and driest winter in at least my living memory .. I'm 53 ... snow ... not a chance ... frost, not yet ... Wales in the UK ... :) .... thanks for the vid btw, a joy to watch as usual ....
We called that shift pattern a working 5 speed - I was hauling watermelons in a GMC when I was 16 years old that had that shift pattern - and I'm 69 years old now lol... there is such a big split between 3rd 4th and 5th if you had any load at all you needed to use the 2 speed axle - but I always had a 32 foot single axle trailer behind me...
Runs and drive good - still needs some work on the bed you said I believe - shifts good - sounds good also - for a 35-year-old county/state truck not bad
I know saying about rad my dad old 1963 B414 International Desiel tractor need new rad plus cap on rad with hose to even thermostat to changed it was over heated to and tell we did ! The rad got pressure test need new rad , price was $500.00 from International dealer or after market was $450.00 in 1994 but lucky found one vechile scrap yard in pick up box for $200.00 90 days warranty and called my dad at home got to him! But we also change Temperature Sensor to on tractor and found live + red wire touching oil filter to false reading but repairs and ran excellent too! Yes those WORKS for Highways , 3 to 9 ton Animals or farm produce trucks and 18 Wheeler tractor of International brands taugh trucks and Tow Truck companies use them to with Detroit motor and 10 or higher gears plus famous axle 390 gears used lots long time too!
Plus my dad drove International farm tractors, stake trucks plus fire Trucks even 18 Wheeler tractor of International brands for 50 plus years ! Detroit motor with 5 to 13 speed Manual Transmission on Floor famous 414 Detroit motor love and 1 or 2 axles trucks plus 390 ratio! He taught me drive on farm tractors on young age then 18 and up 25 big trucks too get D to A with Z air brakes license we used Lol at each other to to bad in 2017 dad past away ! But love his teacher skills and learn lots!
U.K. I subscribed because you don't mind admitting your mistakes. We all make them and I know you Americans like to be the best but I could beat the lot of you. Been married 44 years so I got one thing right.
I usually leave the belts tight until after I remove the fan bolts . the belts hold the pulies tight without having to fight the spinning when loosening the bolts
Hi Wes. The recent memories of a stuck crankshaft pulley come flooding back 😀 I was saying out loud replace the studs with bolts, glad you thought of it for next time. Word of warning, machine off the first three or four threads. If things get really pear shaped it avoids the bolt(s) becoming an ugle addition to the stuck pulley. I remember our school bus had a big V8 up front, synchromesh 2 to 5 with a split axle. The driver would lightly clutch for the split and double clutch the downshift with a stab of the accelerator as he passed through neutral. To my young ears, it just all sounded awesome. Thanks for refreshing that long forgotten memory.
When I was a kid we had an International Blue Bird bus that was automatic with a DT466. But, maybe once a month, we would have the "loaner" bus that was a 5 speed with a 2 speed axle. My bus driver was definitely comfortable with it. I remember a lot of grinding!
I have had tons of issues with aftermarket radiators they either don't fit or the mount brackets don't line up or the Inlet and outlet tubes are in wrong spot or there slitley off or there missing a cooler for the trans or oil they can be a pain @Watch Wes Work
I have a 1979 F8000 Cat 3208 with a Clark 5 speed and 2 speed rear. It's got that 4L, 5L, 4H, 5H shift pattern on the visor. It also says that when upshifting to select the next gear while still in H range then push L once you're in the next gear. Never made much sense to me then again most of my experience is with an Eaton 8LL
LED shop lighting upgrade time. Nice truck looks like a road service truck for the county or state. There are a lot of belts my thoughts as a non giant truck owner is how strong and well these machines are built it is maybe why I always want one when I see them but the work you put into them watching you on this channel is showing what goes on under the hood. WOW a 6 pulley monster wonder what that weighs. Nice pretty new part in-house paint. Best part is the end when you take her out for a drive it looks fun.
I worked for a building supply company in Connecticut back in 94 they had two international trucks one was a box the other a flatbed boom truck Both trucks had the Dt 466 engines ran good no power
I would have blown apart 3 pullers trying to get that pulley off. I feel like I'm watching myself when I hit play on one of your videos. Turn the pump up on her a little bit
She's been around as long as I have, she's not getting blown up on my watch! I think we share the same affliction, but your collection is a little heavier than mine!
@@WatchWesWork Thats a tough engine. we have one in a tandem and been through hell. guys i work with cant drive well and they even had it running backwards one day. called me up and said hey its smoking out of the hood so im come tracking over in the excavator. as im on my way over i notice no smoke out of the exhaust (it always smokes) and it was coming out of the air cleaner. I hop in the cab and there's no oil pressure. turn it off and fire any back up and everything is back to normal. he slapped the tailgate and almost stalled it and it kicked over backwards. He then said all the gears were backwards. lol i bet it ran that way for 10 or 15 minutes and that was a few years ago. still running ok to this day.
I've got a lot of seat time in these old Internationals. Every municipality around here has them, including the road commissioner I used to work for. We ran them hard and never really had any issues. The newer HEUI engines were more complicated, but still very reliable. Kind of like a 5.9 Cummins, it's a 1,300 lbs engine that makes all of 220 horsepower. They don't have enough guts to destroy themselves like newer engines.
I’ve always replaced the thermal fan clutch when putting on a new water pump. Seeing how old that pump and clutch was, and how hard it was to find a pump, I think it would of been best practice to replace the fan clutch. Hopefully it (the old clutch) doesn’t take out your new pump.
Looks like that gantry crane almost clears the lights. Try letting some air out of its tires. Don't worry about thanking me ;-) Oh one more piece of knowledge. I have a perfect track record dealing with leaks. Doesn't seem to matter what kind of leak, I just leave them be. Eventually they all stop. Never been able to guess when each will, stop but every one I've run across does. I'm to the point I don't even bother looking for leaks or try identifying the fluid. I just carry on with my day, confident in my knowledge.
I had a single axle IH tractor to pull and excavator, and seems like I remember shifting the Fuller without using the clutch ....good methodical repair! ....jack screws would have likely helped ...not always easy to see what is going on
I think the older trucks were easier to drive with the 2 speed axle. The older ones were actuated by vacuum and the newer ones are electronically actuated. I think that’s right you can correct me if I’m wrong.
I’m very late to this party. Here’s my comment. Wes is probably the most scrupulously honest mechanic I’ve ever seen in my life.

That's the good stuff, spray it in your eye, your son is adorable, love the vids, my daughter gets into my tools when I take her to grandmas in my truck.
impressive job getting that pulley off- i half expected the puller to strip out before it let go!
Me too! There's no room for a real puller, just my little steering wheel puller.

These certainly are simple engines. If you know what you are doing, you can inframe overhaul one of these in less than 20 hours.

Wes , I have never seen a pulley with so many grooves , glad you didn't have to buy one of those .
Me too. I doubt it's even available. I did see a used one on eBay for $200.
That was the standard pulley on that engine for on highway use. Lots of auxiliary equipment was run off of those grooves.

I had a single axle IH tractor to pull and excavator, and seems like I remember shifting the Fuller without using the clutch ....good methodical repair! ....jack screws would have likely helped ...not always easy to see what is going on
It probably had a real transmission. This one is just a pumped up version of a pickup transmission.
Great channel. Keep up the good work.
that pulley sure was on there! if you were closer, i would have given you a good radiator i removed from a s1954 with 48k miles on it.
Wow, that some low miles! I about fell over when I got a quote to repair my old radiator. It's a lot more expensive than it used to be.
Really enjoyed that Wes, and I don’t like spannering.
Alan.
Thanks! Maybe if you called it "wrenching" you'd like it better...
Enjoyed it Wes. Thanks for sharing the struggle!
I think the older trucks were easier to drive with the 2 speed axle. The older ones were actuated by vacuum and the newer ones are electronically actuated. I think that’s right you can correct me if I’m wrong.
I cut my teeth on a non-synchronized double clutching 10 speed. Took me a bit to learn the synchronized ones.
Was you old shop at 157 Thunderbird Lane, East Peoria, IL?
Did you drain the coolant from the drain plug first? Or you drain it by using this oem tool?
yes can see the bends in the flange.
Did you ever drive am old Mack with a quadruplex. that takes some getting use to.
