RFCDrum Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Urban Farms International 2500. This was specced similar to mine it is an early nineties truck. 300 hp DT466 w/Jacobs exhaust brake, 8LL, 18 ft Bristol Donald with dual pistons and removable sides but I don't think they ever take them off as you need a machine to lift them.

Phase 1 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 How about this one? Not many around.I believe the pictures are relatively recent and someone has purchased that truck. There is some information on the ATHS site. I had thought that they all had Detroit V12's, but it appears some may have had 335's.http://forums.aths.org/2438/Longnose-HighBinder,-John-Hanson,-28-Jun-2006-0838 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post High Binder Posted October 12, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2013 PZ 1, I've owned the truck for several years and it's in good mechanical condition. Fred Crismon, "Mr. International", and I had several conversations about the V-12's and I've come to the conclusion that they were a myth for several reasons. I'm hoping to get started working on it next spring as soon as I get my current project done. Here's what I'm working on now. I hope to get it blasted next week and get some paint on it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Binder Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Bob, I really can't decide. I've thought about the dark green, yellow, or maybe the red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSCF0385.JPGOh- well that explains your posting of it. I apparently misinterpreted your statement - " IH didn't build many of them. A lot of people have seen pictures of them but to my knowledge, no one has seen one in person recently. Sometime you should write about what you have learned about them.Your current project looks good. You would get a lot of stares driving it just the way it is. Looking at it leads me to thinking grey and black would be good on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Binder Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Pz1, I hadn't even given grey a thought. Very interesting suggestion. I'll have to start looking at pictures of grey trucks. Thanks, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Binder Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Joe, It has an Cummins HRBB-600, 180 hp, and an RT09513 transmission. It also has a pusher axle and I'm having a senior moment because I can't remember the rear ratio. Thanks, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ditchkus Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Dan about the V-12 Detroit on page 279 of Fred Crimson's Book International Trucks there is a picture of a 1956 HighBinder Model # RDFC-402 with a factory V-12 Detroit in it. It says 10 were built for Haliburton. On your new acquisition how did you find 2 of them ? There were not many if any in my area that I recall seeing thru the years.It certainly was a nice find and looks solid. Joe D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Binder Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Joe, Fred sent me pictures of what he thought were the 402's with the V-12's. I could not see any difference between my truck and the pictures he sent. Also, I would think that the V-12's would have had dual stacks. To route the exhaust around the back engine to come out through a single 5 inch side discharge exhaust would have been a nightmare. The Cummins 335 takes up so much space that I don't see how a V-12 would fit. I could go on but you would have to see the truck to know what I'm trying to explain. Fred was the expert on IH's and did extensive research. If he said there were trucks with V-12's, there probably were. As I said before, we had numerous conversations about the 402's and I'm not convinced there were any with the V-12's. If there were, I think there would have been a difference in the trucks. That's just my opinion and opinions are like "a**holes", everybody's got one.All three of the high binders came out of scrap yards in west Kansas. The red truck and the green truck came from the same yard. The Halliburton truck also came from a scrap yard but it was being used weekly to haul scrap iron. There's also a story as to how I found and bought them. Give me a call sometime and we'll talk about old trucks. Thanks, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ditchkus Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 That's why they were called " High Binders".Beautiful trucks but must have been a nightmare to work on with non tilting cab. About like the W-71 Mack, GMC Cannonball,early Pete COES,KW Bullnoses. I am sure the list goes on. Joe D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james j neiweem Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 That brings up an interesting question. Who Made the first tilt COE. And what was the first tlit for each manufacturer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I think it was the White 3000 (1949-1950??) with an electric screw jack lift, but the Diamond T low cab forward with a spring loaded counter balanced manual lift designed by the Murty Bros (1952??) was a close second. My Diamond T 921 sleeper has the same lift and I can tilt it by myself. Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ditchkus Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Nice picture Al. Along with the B-Model IH Emeryvillethe GMC Cannonball is one of the most recognized and liked with truckers anyway. I am sure the TV Show "Cannonball" from late 50'S to early 60'S had a lot to do with it. Joe D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vision386 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Nice one Al! I thought the Cannonball was a neat looking truck,do you remember one from Overdrive,tractor of the month, it was yellow/black with a double, polished, Mercury sleeper on it? sharp truck!.................................................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.
