dockmen027 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Was that IHC origionally an ARCO gasoline (Atlantic Richfield) tractor? Sure looks like the ones that pulled out of the Port of Rensselaer years ago. Nice job.

JumperAndSon Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Thanks guys. The truck definately turned out great. The video was pretty good too, in my opinion. I only mispelled one word and left out one word by accident, but other than that, it's great.Ben Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27042-two-week-cornbinder-restoration-video/#findComment-135528 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gvam Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 BenGreat job! The truck looks great and nice tunes as well. Video was nice. Agree with others, let here that monster 2-stroke. Did you really paint the the whole frame with rattle cans? Your fingers must have been hurting after thatGeorge Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27042-two-week-cornbinder-restoration-video/#findComment-136954 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumperAndSon Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Thanks for all the complements guys! It was impressive that it only took us two weeks to restore it like we did. But it took Watts two and a half weeks to do the brakes. It needed every single brake part in the whole system. We just got it back last week. On Monday, my dad and I were cruising dow route 22 and he looked in the mirror and his face got real concered. I looked out the back window and I couldn't see very well because the back window was completely covered in oil. We immediately pulled over and found that everything on the whole back of the truck was covered in gear oil. It looked like somebody took a 5 gallon bucket of 90 weight and set it on the fifth wheel plate and set a grenade off in it. OIL EVERYWHERE. It sorta seemed like it was coming from the front drive axle, but it was hard to tell exactly where it was coming from because of all the oil everywhere. So we took it to Watts and they figured out that the oil filter on the axle had a hole in it and was spraying right on the u-joint, thus the oil spraying everywhere. But they fixed it and now it's fine. And, the oil filter on the axle is the same as a small block chevy oil filter, so it now has a cool chevy racing oil filter on it. Plus, if we ever have to change that filter, we already have a bunch on the shelf.So the truck is all ready for unlimited driving and enjoyment. But I have to re polish all the chrome because it all got covered in oil. But other than that, it's great. So next week sometime, we'll go and drive it and I'll take a video.
