My great grandmothers farm has a 1953-1955 IH R110 sitting in the barn. I don't think the farm is going to be in the family much longer so I started seeing what I might be interested in getting for sentimental reasons. Talked to my uncle and I'm looking to get the truck. Price is $1500 (lots of family). I'm probably not going to be able to go look it over for a couple weeks.
He told me the starter went out in it about 35 years ago and it has sat in the barn ever since. I asked him if it has hydraulic brakes and he says it does but the lines are dry rotted. Has a little bit of rust here and there but is pretty solid overall.
I'm going to make a couple trips to look it over. What are the things on a truck like this that I should do or look over?
Does this truck have poured bearings? My local shop said that isn't a big deal and they can rebuild it but another guy told me that can be a problem.
I have never dealt with a vehicle that has sat this long so other than putting fresh fuel in it is there anything else I need to do to try and get it to start after a starter rebuild? I will have help along the way through this process but just a little curious now what I need to prepare for.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
