IH Scout 800 1968 - 152 Comanche 4cyl, Speed transmission, win Stick Dana 4x4 I bought the Scout from Woodys Wagons and Classic Cruisers, Y. They restore older trucks and American classics and performed a lot of the initial repairs and upgrades. I used A1 Transmission in Norwalk CT for transmission and drive-train work. I used Marks Auto in Stamford Ct for various other odds and ends and electrical work. All well respected professional mechanics have performed the installations and repair work.

Next Repairs - Restorations wanted IMO Rebuild Carb - The throttle arm mount has a crack which allows for play in the throttle. Scout Parts.com sells new or original Carb for 400-450 but might be able to just get the few key parts. I think it would be good to bite the bullet and get a totally new one. Work on Gauges - Speedometer is inaccurate, peedo cable needs to be calibrated. Details, etails, lways more details. New Sending Units for the Fuel gauges - gauge does not work, ut that’s the beauty of 2 tanks, ou always have a 10 gal reserve tank to use. Steering box - Either replace, r get a new center link arm to firm up steering, ight be good enough. The link arm mounts are tired.
