A landscaper I worked for in ‘86-‘87 had a’74 Fleetstar former Ontario Ministry of Transport snow plough truck with a 478 and and Allison 4 speed single axle, but it was a pig on gas compared to his ‘72 Ford LN8000 single axle with a Cat 1160 with a 5x2 trans and a sander.
I bought a fleetstar 201OA at an an auction a few years ago. It was a near by county fire dept. water tanker. The tank was rusted out in the tank bottom, but truck was nice. Bidding started at $50, a couple of guys ran it up to $200 than bidding stopped at$200. I bid $250 and got the truck. I used it for tree trimming around the farm. Drive it under a tree with a 8 foot ladder and trim high. I sold it to a man who needed the engine for a nice profit! Nice truck memory. Why didn't the seller give it a good wash job?
The 2010 and it’s heavier Fleetstar 2110 were the gas versions with 478 and 549 V8s. They also had the legendary IH 450 Red Diamond ♦️ in-line 6 gasser that the counties loved. Dodge used the 478/549 V8s in their C700/800/900 swing fender trucks for those wanting bigger power than their own 361/413 big blocks. The Fleetstar 2050s had midrange diesels like the IH DV550 (a converted 549) the Cat 1160-3208, Detroit 6v53 and Cummins 555 V8s. The Fleetstar 2070s had big bore diesels like the 6-71 Detroit, Cummins 250, 270, 290, and 350. They were produced from 1968 to 1977 when the S2200/2500/2600 took over. They all had short hoods with a 93” BBC for pulling 45’ trailers in 55’ states.
Awesome to see you growing your equipment as well as your viewers. Proud for you. Keep the vids coming and thanks for being us along. They do not build trucks like that anymore…..too much regulation from the government and the environmentalists.
Nice truck. 40 years ago I drove 69 International 2010a tandem dump truck for 5 years. It was a nice driving truck and had the smaller 478 V8. Slower than other 5) Ford L8000 all with Cat 3208 and it sucked more than twice the fuel at 2.3 mpg.
Learn to work those mixer sticks and split those gears and you will stop grinden to findem !you might get extensions for the sticks . Nice old girl, I put lots a miles on ole binders paving in Ohio when I was younger I just turned 80.
I worked for an International dealer in Casper WYOMING in the early 1970s and these trucks were quite popular those were great trucks and very good engine's, I tuned up a lot of them I want to say they were rated at 220 horsepower and close to 500 foot pounds of torque nice clean truck. I tell you with the cost of diesel fuel and the problems with these diesel engines you can run a lot of trouble free miles with that gas engine. Tune it up ever so often and service all you have to do.
my 1966 b220 with 549 sat for 2 separate 20 year stints where the truck was not run, started and drove it last month all it needed was new battery and fresh gas
that sure is a great addition to the farm. that will help so much with the harvest. nice video, hope everything works out well with the truck! take care, be safe out there!
Nice clean, straight original truck! 549 is a great engine, just really thirsty on gas. Had a '62 V-196, she passed everything but gas stations. Good luck!
Yeah I think was getting 5 the whole way home but that was blowing tags cob webs out of the carb and then going as fast as it would the whole way so should go up slightly now that it’s home
Love them Ol Trucks. After too many hours and wash board roads you might pee blood lol. but you sure look good going down the road. Great find, have a Great harvest.
Nice addition to the farm. We used to refer to the IH’s as “Binders,” because they take about a 40-acre field just to turn them around. From what you showed, it looks pretty sound - especially for farm use. 👍
It’s from the old terms corn binder and grain binder, which IH was widely known for. So people called them that because of their relationship to the farm equipment.
Nice grain truck, take care of top cab lights,they are very expensive to replace cuz no longer make them!!! Do They still make you get a safety inspection to run on the road???😎
Oh hell yes!! The Loadstar and Fleetstar trucks from that era are among the coolest ever made, and tough, as shown by how great it still looks and runs after 55 years, especially after working as a logging truck in its earlier life. Is that a speaker up at the front of the headliner? I wonder if IH used tube radios in ‘68. If they did, it just might take a couple minutes for it to warm up after you turn it on. But really, that’s one hell of an amazing purchase. I’m jealous. I’d make it my daily driver around the ‘burbs!
Those big gassers slow is the key I had a loadstar and if you stayed with 50mph top speed I averaged about 10mpg get in a hurry and watch the gas gauge move
After about 4 hours straight behind the wheel of that truck on some Indiana pothole roads I was ready to be home 😂 but we made it and I’m happy I made the trip
They had a fire a couple years ago and closed down for a season and a half I think but they are back up and running now and that’s good before roselawn is permanently closed down and they where our closest elevator

My 2070 tandem came from factory with a 549 Gas

I was thinking Dodge used the 549 in some of their big trucks too

very nice truck. I love the old international trucks and tractors.
Happy for you my brother. Looks to be a good one. It should be very helpful for you.
Learn to work those mixer sticks and split those gears and you will stop grinden to findem !you might get extensions for the sticks . Nice old girl, I put lots a miles on ole binders paving in Ohio when I was younger I just turned 80.
Slowly getting better at it for whatever reason probably wear third gear is always the trouble
The town next to where I live used to have fire pumper truck that had a 549 in it. It had ignition systems in it.

I sure like the idea of highlighting IH white on the rear axle plate!
that sure is a great addition to the farm. that will help so much with the harvest.
nice video, hope everything works out well with the truck! take care, be safe out there!
Congratulations on your new truck very well keep will be a big help on the farm 👍🇺🇸
Nice clean, straight original truck! 549 is a great engine, just really thirsty on gas. Had a '62 V-196, she passed everything but gas stations. Good luck!
Nice old ih. I've got a 78 loadstar with the 446 gaser. Mpg is low lol. Best I've ever had was 7 loaded and 9 unloaded.
Yeah I think was getting 5 the whole way home but that was blowing tags cob webs out of the carb and then going as fast as it would the whole way so should go up slightly now that it’s home
Nice truck anything made in the 60shas to be good
I was tough to drive in a load star box truck! Nice truck
Nice looking old cornbinder.
Great video and great content 🙂👍
Love them Ol Trucks. After too many hours and wash board roads you might pee blood lol. but you sure look good going down the road. Great find, have a Great harvest.
😂 I felt like I was gonna pee a little blood after that 4 hours in it yesterday on some less the ideal roads but it sure did look good doing it
This petrol giant must be very thirsty.
Nice addition to the farm. We used to refer to the IH’s as “Binders,” because they take about a 40-acre field just to turn them around. From what you showed, it looks pretty sound - especially for farm use. 👍
I had someone earlier call it a binder and I didn’t know why thanks for the explanation must have been a little before my time 😂
@@knappfarms think the term originated in the 1940’s?
@Lightning613 good to know because you might have to turn the wheel around 10 times but this one doesn’t seem to have to bad of a turning radius
It’s from the old terms corn binder and grain binder, which IH was widely known for. So people called them that because of their relationship to the farm equipment.
@@ArmpitStudios That was even before my time (my Dad’s era).
Looks really good for its age. Probably wouldn't take much to get the cb going. Or replace it.
Hey that’s a nice truck, I see it’s gotta Hendrixson suspension in the back just our IH S1900 tandem does.
Nice, now for improvements, nilight led flood combo, and a rifle rack. 🐃🐃🐃 and safety reflective tape on box!
I don’t know why I hadn’t even thought of the rifle rack yet but that I’d definitely a must before harvest season
CZcams family has all sorts of ideas to help 👍🐃
Well done, you've got great taste, beats the old Ford and GM ones anyday.
I was about to get a old Chevy C60 but this will haul much more grain and hopefully last longer
Nice grain truck, take care of top cab lights,they are very expensive to replace cuz no longer make them!!! Do They still make you get a safety inspection to run on the road???😎
As far as I can tell sense I have farm plates and it will never leave the state no inspection needed
Oh hell yes!!

The S series are good looking trucks as well,the last true International trucks,now they are nothing but Naviturds
@@user-ij3op9dw3u Eh. S series lost all their style.
Nice grain truck, big enough engine for sure. Pretty sad, you don’t know how to work an AM radio ! Definitely a heavy duty truck. Congrats.
😂 I will have to get grandpa to show me how the radio works
Those big gassers slow is the key I had a loadstar and if you stayed with 50mph top speed I averaged about 10mpg get in a hurry and watch the gas gauge move
Hopefully sense it’s gonna be all back roads from now on I’ll be able to get that mileage up
Great video, fantastic truck!!! How many bushel,or did I miss it
Beautiful truck very nice are you gonna get it inspected or just put farm tags on or any thing at all ?
that truck will be a bear to get unstuck
Hopefully the man was right and I just won’t get it stuck he said he used it to pull out combines and other truck
I've been known to make the same kinda trip
After about 4 hours straight behind the wheel of that truck on some Indiana pothole roads I was ready to be home 😂 but we made it and I’m happy I made the trip
@knappfarms I understand. 10hrs pulling a 40 ft trailer on I 40. Unbearable
@oldredtractors yep throw in some stupid drivers on the road like we had and it will wear you out
@@knappfarms yep
That's a nice truck, how long is the bed on it?
18 foot bed and probably 5.5 foot tall
How many bushels that box hold?
The man said he would haul 630 in it no problem so I will problem mound it up and haul 650
I thought Parr closed
They had a fire a couple years ago and closed down for a season and a half I think but they are back up and running now and that’s good before roselawn is permanently closed down and they where our closest elevator
