1966 IHC Scout 80 review from North America
"Solid, dependable, fixable utility vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One front wheel bearing fell apart and the wheel almost fell off.
Once when I was driving up an old logging road that had turned into creek bed, a gas tank nearly fell out.
The whole front end was loose when I bought it, but by removing shims I tightened the ball joints and with the pull of a cotter pin I tightened the drag link. Some things were sure better in the old days - now one has to buy new parts. This little utility vehicle was made for farmers and for farmers to be able to fix.
General comments?
This was a great little truck. It never broke down in the woods, even though it had many many miles on it. It wasn't the fastest vehicle in the pack, but dependable and cute. Wish I still owned it.
