1969 IH 1300D 4X4 - Pump Truck

[DieselSlug]

Going to grab the truck out of the barn this afternoon for a ride up to camp this weekend. Hopefully I remember to get some pics. Need to do some bearing adjustments in the front and check fluids. Taking off Friday of this coming week for the Syracuse Nationals!

I love them old BinderNationals.
Great that You are showing it to us again. The childrens appear to be enjoying it to the max too.

Tightening the driver's front spindle. Has a tiny bit of play since my install. Then the rain stopped me.....


Here I sit at the dining room table cleaning up the drive flange.

I dont mind a little bit of play between the spindle and the hub. Tells me that the wheel bearings aint too tight.
I’d be checking adjustment if no play could be felt or seen.

Its a tough adjustment with the type of lock washers it has. The nut has to be positioned on an edge to the top for the locking washer to fit over it and into the groove on the spindle. I did find only an 1/8th of a turn had it feeling much better and lined right up!

 

[MrMarty51]

I converted my old tab washer units to the type with the stub built onto the adjuster nut. It goes on first with the stub facing outwards. A warsher with perforations all the way around is set over that nut and one of the holes in the washer lines up with the stub, if not then flip over the warsher and possible an alignment will be gained. If not then loosen the nut just slightly. Repeat until one of the holes of the washer aligns with the stub of the nut, then, on goes the jamming nut and it is then torqued.
I usually leave the adjusting nut just very slightly loose, then, when the jam nut is torqued, it presses against the adjust nut and the adjust nut against the spindle threads and ever so sligntly takes up a very small amount of slack in the bearings.

A couple of pictures of what I would call the upper end IH's at the show!

I wish I had my dad's '68 International Travelall 4x4. It also had a very, very rare aftermarket installed Hi-Rail on it so he could put it on the tracks and drive down them.

I’m too tired, or maybe lazy, to go back through this thread.
Did I ever post pics of the sons two scouts ?
They have the slant 4s in them.

Absolutely. Heck I de-rail my own posts all the time. It doesn't bother me.

Got a pic on the FB pages of our roll in at Nationals! Thanks to CarCruiseFinder for the great pic.

 

[MrMarty51]

I did make the drive over to the sons diggins.
I immediately sent him a text message, PLEASE LET ME COME OVER AND HELP YOU CARVE BACK THEM TREES.

The reddish one is the Red Carpet Special. The top is not original, but, at least it has the original hub caps on it.

I think I saw tear drops from the headlights. When the wind blows form the weet you can hear the cries “i want to drive again”.

Seriously though- nice rigs.
