Question 1

Is the International 4900 street legal in the United States?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as of 2025, any International 4900 built before 2000 is eligible under the 25-year import rule. ZervTek ensures all paperwork is U.S.-compliant and assists with documentation.

Question 2

How can I verify the mechanical condition before importing?

Accepted Answer

ZervTek conducts detailed inspections, including undercarriage photos, engine sound checks, and fluid analysis. We also review auction grade and history before bidding.

Question 3

What should I look out for when buying a 4900?

Accepted Answer

Watch for cooling system clogs, injector pump leaks, and door rust. Mileage may be unverified due to odometer failures, so prioritize documented service over odo numbers.

Question 4

Can I use the 4900 for snow plow or dump work overseas?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. The DT466 powertrain and chassis were designed for heavy-duty utility use, and we can help source units with PTOs, plow mounts, or dump bodies if needed.

Question 5

Why import from Japan instead of buying local?

Accepted Answer

Japanese-market 4900s often have cleaner frames, fewer rust issues, and better documentation. Auction units tend to be lower mileage and better maintained than U.S. fleet equivalents.
