1977 IHC Scout II review from North America
"I am a very proud owner of my 1977 IH Scout II"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, she (the 'ol Scout) has me baffled on an electric issue, and if it can leak, it does!
General comments?
I absolutely LOVE my old Scout II. My husband has been great in teaching me how to work on her. For a beginner Mud Pit runner and beginner mechanic, the Scout has been a perfect friend for me.
She has all the power and is geared low enough that I never have any problems of jumping into or crawling out of the mud!
There is a dead spot in the carb that has nothing to do with the quality of this vehicle. I'll get her fixed. Next lesson.
I am a very proud owner, and she will never go anywhere else. She will live and die here! She's old, ugly, rusted and wrinkled and I think she's Beautiful!
I do suggest a parts vehicle. It has been a great source for parts and lessons.
Bad Girls drive Bad American Toys! IH Forever.
