Fabricobbling a DUAL Rear Hitch Setup?!? ~ 1988 IH Scissor Dump Truck

- Since I have this International 2 Ton truck, I'd like to TOW with it! I plan to use it when I go out and rescue more old forgotten machines, vehicles, and whatever else I need to move!
PROBLEM is... It has NO hitch on the back! Let's FIX that!
I've come up with an idea that having a DUAL Rear Hitch will come in handy...
Join me as we figure out how to make this old truck tow and able to recover more old junk!!

Everyone should have a friend like Mike. I sure wish he would wear goggles when using a torch or his drill though.
Glad to see you value your eyes if your friend doesn't value his. All that torch cutting with no goggles.
I can't teach an old dog new tricks and it's not my place to try to change him... somehow he's been doing this kind of thing his whole life, and i have a lot of respect for him!
@@SalvageWorkshop Well said.
@@SalvageWorkshop a
Safety is for sissies not people who want to be able to complain about injuries
The man using the cutting torch is very good.
I totally agree!! He's had a bit of practice!!
That was a pretty cool trick Mike did at 19:15 , I had originally thought "Now that piece is stuck in there". Would've never thought there'd be an easy way to get it out, but he had the solution. Good job.👍
If he yust put a magnet on the outside when its almost lose he pull it out easy👍🎄✨😎
Yeah i thought so too! Especially since we already had the welding rods sitting right there!
@@andarthome142 or just use a welding rod and stick it to the side of what your cutting out and you already have a way of doing it.
The old timer knows how to torch cut masterfully 👍
Well done ,...I especially liked your message at the end of the video..... Merry Christmas and Happy new year ! Thanks for the great videos !

Thank you my friend! I truly appreciate the support!
Yep grab a wrench and save something old ! You said it , love it
Merry Christmas from East Gippsland Vic Down Under
Thanks for saving the old stuff. The salvage mentality is lost. Great job. 77 year old Jim in Texas.
Thanks Jim! I appreciate the support! Lots more Salvaging from me!!
That truck's as old as I am! Thanks for giving the old beast a new lease on life.
Great job! That looks solid as a rock and super functional. It’s awesome to see the older generation and younger generation working together and sharing the knowledge and tips
Thanks Ronny! Yeah i dont think the hitch will EVER go ANYWHERE!!
I really like working with Mike! He is easy to work with, very knowledgeable, not set on necessarily doing things one way, and crazy thing is he actually listens to me and my opinion... that can be a difficult thing for the older generation to do... i have learned a lot from him and love helping him as much as he has helped me!
That fellow working with you reminds me of guys that grew up around. Those folks seem to be a dying breed.
Tips from the "coach" 😉 I would put the jack in the frame and squeezed out the frame beams. Then you might as well have been able to put the beam on the jack as support. And then release the jack while fitting it.
Using a same diameter drill to make a "center punch" was a really good idea, mind blown! So simple but I never thought of that.
I can sit and watch you all day !love your channel!
Mike’s an artist with the torch.
When I saw that big truck bed lift, you definitely had my attention!!!!
Yeah... it's an awesome truck... it's also a dump truck as well!
Good work sir. Even better was the message at the end! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
This is the sort of thing my father taught me to do. Take what is old rehab it and make it new and functional whenever possible. Never to throw away but to fix and refurbish. Good to see others with the same ideas of keeping old running new.
3" bar stock... Dang, that's some serious steel there! That's one heck of a hitch system you've crafted there, nice job!
Thank you my friend! It should do the trick!
Real fine job, it'll come up treat.
Nice, 2 videos in a row! Tell me about a better christmas present
This would make an awesome Mad Max style camper! Just imagine the views from the elevated bed !!
The old high lift jack .have a good and bad relationship with mine ! Lol had it 35 years their about .Got me unstuck and helped with jobs 100 times iam sure .never leaves my truck .Dangerous Bastards! Lol
I like watching you and others to see what mishap and technics to watch out for. I like Mike he reminds me of me he has way more stuff than he'll ever use but if if ever needs it has knows where it is and how to use it.
This is some man shit right here! If you have a yard full of rusty cars and you have old school tools and you know to weld and build stuff, you a man!
Great to see more videos from the Salvage Workshop. Looking forward to more in the coming weeks.
From one frabricobber to another, sometimes you need a bigger hammer.
What a great message at the video's end.
Very nicely done
I can already tell this is gonna.Be a very nice work truck in the end. I also would suggest mounting in a set of toolbox’s.And a welding/blowtorch setup in the back.
Liked the video on the hitch. One thing that I would recommend is that you add a 12v power tarp plug into your design. So u can plug the winch into to have constant power supply for it. Then u don't have to mess with a battery. I added one to my truck's for my hydraulic Trailer and winch. If you have any questions let me know I will send pictures of my setup. Awesome work 👏 👌 👍
You are correct just start on a project, just start. love your energy.
Take care. Dave in Utah
now you need to make a video about restoring that old jack hahaha
Man. Love mikes safety shoes. Hahaha. He is a hell of a friend and helping hand.
I think you got the right attitude. Keep it running! Enjoyed watching.
Thank you John!
Man, I like this rigging work.
Merry Christmas to you and your whole family, even the pups. Looking forward to upcoming videos for 2022. The gentleman with you, looks like the country version of Albert Einstein 😂…. It’s the hair and the exceptional mustache. The knowledge this man holds…..
Great video. I love fixing old things too. I worked on a bench vice that was over 40 years old .jaws were shattered and the rest was terrible and restored it to its former glory
Nicely done!
Another Christmas Miracle. That's 3 of my favorite channels dropping videos on Christmas day.
Well done.
Mike is a good man.
I couldn't agree more!
Merry Christmas!
I've made similar hitches like this one,and it's a ton of fun doing it. Over the last couple years I've also bought a few old machines, a 1960 Oliver Lull,a farmall cub,a couple squarebody pickups, and an 89 Ford 1700
Very interesting project. I liked what you said at the end about saving something old.
Thats a beast of a hitch.
Nice to see you back! always informative, creative and interesting projects and talent!
I lubricate my jacks. They always work well. Perhaps a scissor jack will be in your future.
Yeah... that wasn't my jack!
NEAT trick Toby showed with the welding rods!
I never thought about doing that, & I wish I would have!
No matter our experience level, we almost always pick up at least a small tidbit of knowlege from watching others. Thats why we watch. Right? I love doing this stuff.
@@usethenoodle truth!
Good to see you again :) Gotta save the old Iron. it will usually outhaul outwork and outlast anything made today. my current project is building a small forklift out of the carcass of an old jacobsen greens mower. just because someone else junked something Doesn't mean it can't live on as something new :)
Couldn't have said it better myself! Thanks for watching and commenting! I truly appreciate it!
Thx for encouragement
Love all the products I will soon be doing some projects of my own have a merry Christmas
Thanks for sharing your expertise and video and you’re absolutely right save the old forget about the new cheap stuff have a blessed Christmas and the happiest of New Year’s
Very nice !! 👍👍Strong and sturdy !!! I have a feeling that there some awesome things to come for this ol girl !! Can't wait to see what is next its always cool and informative and interesting !!
I would like to say y'all made that look easy
More! more! more!
GREAT JOB.
Brilliant video
Thank you Nick!
Great to meet Mike awesome place he has pretty handy with a torch and welder I appreciate him sharing his place with us, is there anything he doesn't have? 3 x 3 solid stock? unbelievable. Thanks for the great video's I learn something with everyone.
Thanks for the video!
GREAT VIDEO.
Great to see you putting out videos back to back, awesome stuff man!
Just started watching your videos I'll half to admit I've really enjoyed seeing them . Keep doing you my friend.
Great job
thanks fot the vids.. always nice to see content of you ... Have a nice end of the year and a great start of the new one :-)
Nice addition to your expanding fleet very handy truck with that bed on it , looking forward to seeing it and you in action, honestly i could watch anything you put out you have a knack of explaining stuff and demonstrating ability keep grafting !
I love the 3" hitch. The only thing I would've done differently. Cut a 3" square hole in the plate so you could weld the bar into the plate more.
I still might do that!
Amen, brother on saving the old trucks! These old S-series trucks were some of the best International ever made. I have 2 S-Series school buses, and have a wealth of knowledge that I am more than happy to share to anyone who can use it. I saw your previous two videos on this truck, and can answer pretty much all of your questions from the get-go...
For starters, to differentiate the DT360 from the DTA360: The A stands for aftercooled, and the way to tell is the intake pipe going from the turbo to the intake manifold. Since yours is a direct crossover pipe, and you do not have an intercooler/aftercooler, that will classify your engine as the DT360. Both my buses are DTA360s and in my videos, you'll see intake piping going to and from the intercooler.
Secondly--the shift patterns--those are just two different ways to shift the truck. It appears you have a two-speed rear axle, but someone has removed the lo-hi split button, which should be mounted on the side of the stick, and yours is presumably locked in high gear. If you look in your previous vids, you can see the electric shift motor on the driver's side of the diff on the front of the axle.
Lastly - the jump from 3-4 being almost too big of a jump -- I can totally relate. My first bus was originally an AT545 Auto, and shortly before I swapped the DTA360 into it, I swapped an Eaton 5-speed and the ratios are very similar to your Spicer 5-speed. Before I replaced my rear end with 4.78 highway gears, I was running a 6.14, which made the shift not nearly as painful. Luckily for me, I have a 4 speed auxiliary transmission, so I split my gears more to accommodate for that particular shift. If you can get that two speed axle motor to work, shifting the axle from High to Low as you shift from 3-4 would make the shift much, much more bearable.
Feel free to hit me up for any more questions, I'd love to chat and geek out over these old IH's -- my channel name at gmail dot com.
Best thing for those jacks is to keep them clean. I pressure wash mine every now and then a little bit of oil. Works like a deam
I also suggest not storing them in the weeds outside, but it wasn't my jack!
@@SalvageWorkshop the comment wasn't for you personally! I didn't use your name. It was just a good way to clean the Jack that works if someone wanted to try it!
@@bombardier3qtrlbpsi i was joking my friend! I do agree with your suggestion! Thanks for watching and commenting! I truly appreciate it!
always wear safety glasses when using a torch. you never know when a pop will send hot metal into your eye
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, for you Salvage Workshop and for every one
The last time I swung a hammer toward me like that I almost broke my nose!😆
Merry Christmas 🎅
Happy new year 🎊 thanks for sharing
Great to see a video it's been a while. May you and your family have a great new year. Cheers from Australia
from the Netherlands thanks for the video
No problem! Thanks for the support!
Great video, plus, great message. Have a healthy and Happy New Year to you and your family!
Should’ve asked Santa for some clamps 🗜 😂
Cool video thanks
Thanks for the videos buddy
Thank you for the support Jamie, i really appreciate it!
Great video and ending message. Happy and healthy New Year to you and your family!
Wow. That's some beefy hitchwork. Big toys need big connectors! Merry Christmas!
You ain't kidding! I've got quite a few heavy machines to start moving around... i think it'll work just fine!
Very good Merry Christmas to you and yours never miss a video buy old and repair
Thank you Phillip! I appreciate the support!!
Awesome Craftsmanship, You can tell your mind is constantly going the only thing I suggest is is get you some welder sleeves
Merry Christmas
Awesome cool 🆒️ 😎 👍
Turned out great. Merry Christmas 🎄
Nice job on the rear hitches!!!!!!!!!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Nice job. Merry Christmas! God bless!
Anybody that fabricobbles is OK in my book. Merry Christmas mate.
Thanks Steven! All of us Fabricobblers somehow get things done!
Nice hitch!
As always, splendid job, the only thing I can add is you need to wear protective gear on those bare arms! Welding can cause serious problems to your skin, later in life
Keep up the great work!!
Hello, Friend, I always enjoy the projects you do, Happy New Year
Hello, since you asked, I will try to make your life easier by changing a wire fence stretcher device into a very useful upright jack. We use these to lift 40 foot boats and have done that for decades. So take your fence jack and remove the foot part. Now make a plate of 3/8s steel 10" wide and 12" long.( make it bigger if you want) Get a piece of 3/8s X 4" wide steel channel iron and cut it 8" long 4" high. Weld it to your bottom plate. Now set the fence jack on top and scribe the channel iron to make an opening for the fence jack to go through so you can weld it to the base. Now weld the jack to the top of the channel iron and your done. It's no longer a fence jack and has become a very stable upright jack and it works great! Doesn't work well for stretching fence wire though. Once you have lubricated the jacking mechanism it will be smooth as silk. Cheers from Canada.
kick ass job
The first 10 minutes reminded me of a 3 Stooges movie.
Your “fabicobbling”, while out of reach for many of us, is nonetheless fascinating to watch. Hope you have a prosperous and new project-vlogs filled new year.
Thank you my friend! I'm glad you enjoy the projects! Lot's more to come!
Awesome job man! It’s been a little bit. Glad to see ya. Hey you know the no. 2 I bugged you about lol I found one! Keep saving that rusty gold brother!! Oh and making videos of it!!!
Merry Christmas 🎄
Great thanks
Merry Christmas! Paul UK
for your winch both front and rear i suggest you mount 2 extra recievers so that any sideways loads are better distributed. normally this would not be used for say general towing, but that winch can put alot of torque on a hitch. so if your mount had 3 parallel hitches on it it could be slid into front or rear and still pull to the side without risking undue loads on the single hitch. when normal towing the 2 other hitches arent required but wont get in the way either. if you decided you needed to tow a heavier load you could make an adapter to tie into the 3 parallel hitches.
Yes indeed, find it, fix it, use the heck out of it.
