Well, that makes three. When Jim Bob was in Dallas a couple of weeks ago, we replaced his hose. It had actually rubbed through and was leaking like mine was.

Remember that the Gates 21743 will work fine for this application although about 9" must be removed from the water pump end. These hoses have two different diameters for each end of the hose. The reservoir end is larger than the end that goes on to the water pump. I like the Gates hose because it re-routes the hose away from the frame. Took me all day the day after Thanksgiving (International dealer closed for the holiday) and several trips to the auto parts store to find this hose but it works great. I suggest that everyone with an International chassis check out their hoses.
