Completely ROTTEN International Scout - Will it Run? Doomsday Vehicle?

[@toddbob55]

Such a waste of time and money working on a rusted out vehicle that has no value in the end

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Screenshotting this comment so everyone can see what no vision looks like.

[@xozindustries7451]

The dude makes money making videos, the less money he spends buying the junk to get running the more money he makes on the video, the worth of the vehicle is inconsequential

[@lonecrusaider]

Actually spending time with your son making a vehicle for him to drive is priceless so the vehicle in question is priceless in value because of what it facilitated. Teaching your son a skill that most people know nothing about is priceless...

[@KiwiStag74]

I'm 55, have two daughters that are just finished their teens and both can do their own oil changes, change a tyre, replace wiper blades, change brake pads, trace electrical faults, rebuild a carburettor and could (and can) lap valves in if they really had to. It started with them wanting to be in the garage with me, then "helping", then actually helping, then being guided with a little project, then trusted to do some on their own (which they then asked me to check) and now they just go and do whatever's needed....unless they have never done it before and want a bit of advice or help. When I had daughters, I swore they were not going to be totally ignorant of the car they drove and end up ripped off by unscrupulous mechanics in seedy workshops. The idea is to involve them with what you are doing when they want to be out there working with you and guide this into a passion for the vehicles they own and work on. Now, they enjoy their cars on a whole different level to their peers and I tell ya - watching your girls work on a classic, tuning it by ear, or arguing over what might be causing a miss or flat spot at 2500rpm just makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside!

Two things: 1) JD is a great “Yes Man” for the old man. 2) Scouts are awesome! That half-a-392 4 cylinder is a torque machine. I had a ‘77 with the 4 cyl and I could just take my foot off the clutch in 1st or 2nd and it’d go without using any throttle, almost like a diesel.

[@TazR6]

Straight to it, no messing around. It is sad to see them looking like that, but sadly they all went the way of the rot. Oooh, foreshadowing. Building tension and excitement. Awesome. JD is battling away with no complaints. He is an amazing boy. The bedsides look bowed it is so rotten, lol. Were I to see that rat's nest of wiring and bodgery, I would slowly back away, turn my back on it, and forget I even saw it. Tackling something that bad is one of my nitemare scenarios. Kudos to you for trying to decipher it all and getting it to work. You are an electrical mastermind, even if you do not say so yourself. You have probably forgotten more than some people know. They're nice-looking boots. I wonder if they are available here. Because you are allowing yourself to showcase a sponsor, I know for a fact that they will be decent boots. I have had good luck in the past by pulling starting cars with stuck clutches with them in 4th. It has no choice but to slip then, and if it is freeable, it will come free. This truck is proving to be very educational for JD. Wiring, clutch, brakes. He seems to soak up knowledge like a sponge. What a pity that the clutch you got was not the right one for the job. The chances of it fitting anything else that you may need bits for in future are slim to none I suppose. Jerry rigging the clutch like that is what this cahhel is all about. You figuring out the impossible, and finding solutions that work. On a side note, I see you have another 6,000 subscribers since the last video. That is brilliant. I hope they all join the low buck club, or even better, the save the shop club. You're definitely going places now Dalton, and I am so excited to see what the future has in store for you and the team. Seeing you getting more and more tired as you were getting the gearbox put back together was hilarious. You got ill from the truck? You have worked on much much worse stuff, with way more rat and other animals remenets and been ok. What about Jess and JD? Did they get ill too? I hope you get better soon Dalton. This is over a week or so after you filned (July 11, and the video dropped yesterday) so all being well you are back to being better now. Thank you for a great episode. Very enjoyable as always.

[@Spheramid]

Dude you made me tear up and miss my ‘70 IH scout 800B. I had the 345 and it was tweaked w, holly 850 double pumper , a little cam work, and accel ignition. I used to run in the 2 ten gallon side tanks on the purple airport gas about 5 gallons, 2 gallons of some solvent from a printing company that was alcohol and probably xylene or lacquer thinner and 2 gallons of water so that I didn’t burn the valves and boost the compression. It had ether hard pipe to the carb to cold start it and in winter it left contrails going down the road. I used to race it at 4wd rallies in Pa. It was slower than the jeeps but it was tougher. I broke a few uni’s on the front shaft and the shaft 2 times. Tires were Continental bias ply. Screwed to the rims. The whole back bed was replaced with diamond plate. Rust rules!

[@mbak7801]

When you 'introduce the splined shaft into the clutch assembly' gently try and rotate it. Everything has to be concentric (hence the alignment tool) but the splines have to be 'bob on' as well. It will fight and fight before suddenly slipping together with almost no effort.

[@colinl9018]

Knew a woman like that once..

[@toms1979]

How much debris was in that bellhousing? I've seen where rats or mud daubers will make a mess around the throw out bearing and when someone presses the clutch it all falls between the friction disk and the pressure plate/flywheel. When you let off the pedal it all gets packed in and won't let the clutch slip but the pedal feels like it isn't doing anything because the pressure plate is basically stuck in the disengaged position. Just a thought. Hope you're feeling better!

[@adamperry2147]

Get well soon good Sir! Hope you have a quick recovery. You will get this thing going!

[@ToddHavel]

I threw several of those clutch alignment things out years ago. They appeared to be made out of wood! School buses used the 345 v-8 with the same engine and rear axle as the scout! Just that they were 2 wheel drive onlY. Thought I would never see another international scout or school bus again, time rusted them all out! And they went out of business. All the school buses went to automatics transmissions and Diesel engines. In the winter it is nice to have a diesel, actual heat is a godsend! Hear that they make them with air conditioning now! Maintain one diesel with a manual transmission now. Was in a Superman movie! Shortie and repainted. Has a heart of gold. Will be sad when she retires! Love to put a long work bench in it and go camping in it! 10-12 mpg, empty, loaded or loaded with trailer!

JD is a spitting image of my son when Scott was that young. It is the reason I started watching the channel, back when you were building the Holy Goat. It has been nice to see your channel grow and become what it has. Way to go, JD. Sidenote. My Dad fell in the chicken coop, and before he could get up he had contracted listeria poisoning. Almost 7 years later and he has been in a wheel chair ever since. Be careful what you lay in. Glad to see your doing better.

[@connerjudd7977]

Try putting the bell housing on transmission, then put pressure plate and clutch disk on. Slide transmission in, tighten pressure plate to flywheel through inspection hole. I've had to do it this way on big rigs a few times makes for less stuff to line up.

What a find! A friend’s dad bought a Terra new in 1977 and had it for years. Plowed with it so yes it rusted away. He said it came with the 304 but at some point he put in a 345. When we were about 17 years old or so in 1993, we went and worked on the old thing. Replaced the calipers, rusty brake lines. Drive it around the lot in the snow. His dad kept it as a shop truck for a couple more years but eventually there was nothing left of the body. I think the half cab roof comes off on them.

I have a 1971 IHC Scout 800-B. It has the 196 engine same as yours. On mine the entire tunnel unbolts.I hook a strap around the entire roof and use a block and tackle to lift the trans up. Also I got my clutch from Fort Wayne clutch. Probably the same place you were looking at and yea they're salty but they are a damn good clutch. Only thing is the alignment tool they sold me was way off. I had to visually line the O.D. pf the friction plate up with the O.D. of the pressure plate. If you take a cut off wheel and grind a "V" on the ends of the splines it makes your life SO much easier. Yea they're a weird design. It's a damn farm tractor with an identity crisis and you can hear them rotting on a quiet night. I've had mine since 2005 or so and I plow snow with it and I plow a LOT of snow. It does everything I need it to do and then some. It's dead nuts reliable. If I had stupid amounts of money I'd restore it to new condition mechanically and cosmetically. I've done some impressive stuff with the thing. You wouldn't think a 4 banger would do it but it does. I like the 80 and 800 series better. They weren't trying to make something quite as civilized as the Scout 2. It was just a box on wheels and it was easier to work on. Also probably stick a points distributor in that thing. God knows about that electronic setup...

The International Harvester Scout, which was produced from 1961 to 1980, is named to Hagerty's annual Bull Market List of 10 vehicles likely to soon appreciate in value. The Scout II, which was released in 1971 and produced until 1980, is also highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts. The Scout II is expected to increase in value due to its limited availability. Ty for taking us along

I love every single one of your videos. But I’m more impressed with JD’s progress. It’s been so awesome to watch his growth! I’m already picturing his high school automotive teacher just taking a seat in the corner while JD straight up takes them to class!

Get well soon mate. Love the videos . This has given me some enthusiasm to get back into my 1962 landrover. Love your style. Cheers from New Zealand

First off, you should've checked that the clutch disc slides onto the input shaft while it's on the ground. Second, when you were kicking it, the tail end was too low, the angle was wrong even though the tip was in. Last and most important, you gotta put the trans in 1st before install. That way you can grab the output shaft and spin the input to get the splines to mesh with clutch disc. Good luck!
