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...

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!

Outside without a top for 22 years, black widows in the transmission tunnel, actively failing head gaskets, a couple wiped cam lobes, and the body was held to the frame by whoever was sitting in it. Ran like a dream, still miss it to this day.

[@bradd7804]

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

Hello Dalton. Long time viewer, first time poster. I always enjoy your content and your tongue in cheek approach. I'm a long time IH Scout enthusiast. I know them pretty well. You found out the hard way that attempting to stab the trans with the t-case attached is a recipe for failure. It's just a balancing nightmare with the case attached. You expended a lot of effort and frustration unfortunately before that realization came to light. I swapped out the TF A-727 auto in my '74 Scout for a BW T-19 wide 4 speed. I did it myself with the same Hobo Fright Tulz trans jack that you have and I'm by no means a manual trans installing guru by any stretch. However, I secured the trans to the jack with a ratchet strap and I also had the t-case removed. Just having the splines aligned isn't the whole key. The side to side plane and the up down plane of the trans itself has to be absolutely dead nuts perfect for everything to go together. So it is a must the the trans is ratchet strapped down super tight to the trans jack so that it cannot move independently of the jack. The longer TO bearing collar is the one to use. The shorter one IS NOT correct for any IH V8 or I-4 application. This is something I also found out the hard way as the short collar did not allow me to properly adjust the clutch linkage. I wound up roasting my brand new TO bearing in short order because it was spinning all the time. I had to redo the installation with the proper length longer TO collar. Just a point of contention. I think you were speaking out of frustration, and I certainly get that. Believe me, I've been there plenty of times during my Scout ownership journey. But aside from the engine and the sheet metal, pretty much everything else was sourced from other suppliers and not manufactured by IH. Dana Spicer axles, Dana Spicer 4x4 T-case, Borg Warner manual transmission, Delco Remy starter, Delco Remy Alternator, Saginaw steering column, etc etc. Items that are common to other makes. I hope you are on the mend. Give the Scout another shot. I think it will be worth it.

The fly wheel inspection cover lets you turn the engine to align it and allow you to marry the transmission back to the motor after you change the clutch.

[@heliarche]

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...

[@darrylj4554]

Love your videos and the unique blend of sarcasm and humor is second to none. Just a suggestion for you and JD. Get some mechanic gloves for the both of you. Never used to wear them myself but with all the crap out there trying to get into your system. Might not be a bad idea. Safe travels!

Cussing and fuss and fighting working on something.Sorry you got sick hope your better but your buddy the pup was funning his tail was just going, then the sweet shot of him loving on you. Such sweet pup.

Got an International Travelall (the big SUV thing that looks like a suburban) back in spring as my first project car. Its channels like yours that gave me the confidence to buy something like that in the first place so I LOVED this ep!

Really wanted to say thanks for my order from Jess's Etsy. Scrubbers are awesome. It was a great, surprising order. Worth every penny.

I would love to see a video where you just go around and talk about all the random stuff on the walls of your garage there’s gotta be so many good stories

For some reason watching you drive around the yard trying to get the clutch to free up I got the idea to mount a couple of lawnmower decks under that Scout and JD will have a bad ass lawnmower.

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

Damn... Wasn't expecting the end of the video to be like that. I've had some health issues the last five years or so, and have been hospitalized six different times. The only good thing about hospitals is the pain meds, and the young nurses with nice ta-ta's reaching across you to get something that you know they didn't need. Doesn't take much to make me happy... Hope you get better soon. Being sick truly sucks.

I think that mosaic pattern to the rust is from the way the peeling paint held water and dirt against the metal as it slowly peeled further and crumbled away. However it works, it is kinda cool looking! Feesh will help heal you with love!
