New to the Forum, but not new to IH Parts or one of the many folks that have helped me over the last 20 years on my '69 800A, including old Mr. Scout in Oregon, some fellow from Colorado that helped me with electronic wipers years ago and many others.
I am in Eastern Idaho....Scout has been in the family since new, purchased in Eugene Oregon back in 1968....it was our 2nd Scout and has never let us down.
Haven't done major mods over the years but did do a front disc and power steering addition quite a few years ago out of an old Chevy C10 (and Scout II master/proportioning), added rollbars and last year did the Suspension/Lift from IH. Also got rid of the old saddle fuel tanks and added a cell in the rear.
Car will be in the family forever with 4 boys who will get to fight over it after they peel my stiff fingers from the wheel someday. I have read this (and other long gone) Forums over the years, invaluable information. Last year....had to rebuild the front differential (had a factory locker as near as we could tell) and thank goodness, old Mr. Scout had the right part to convert to an open diff still sitting in his barn.
All I need now.....is the large factory steering wheel is just too much when driving down the pavement with the power steering and I would like to swap it out for a smaller wheel that will just "slide" on. Thanks for all of your help over the years....sorry I am just "joining" the group.
