Will It Run? Free Ratty 1964 Scout 

or they said what did I buy>>>>

@@edp9743 The typical buyer knew exactly what he bought. Mostly farmers or hunting club owners. If not... 😱

I heard they gave them away to farmers if they bought a harvester or other expensive farming equipment.

hes dead

No way, wonder if he touched my 65 1100

The layers of paint is all that's holding it together 😁

That’s amazing!!

@@MacroGamingStudios that would be awesome lol I hope he did

Once it goes down the road that paints going blow off He done a good job all the same.. ☺

Clearly you, or someone at your company, did a good job. Nice. 👍

There was Zollner Pistons in my hometown of Leamington Ontario that made pistons they were around for a long time then it was sold to KUS in 2000 and continued to make pistons but I guess Zollner in Leamington was owned by Zollner out of Fort Wayne

@@79tazman yes same company

That was the owner of the Detroit Pistons basketball team also!

@@patrickgrace6325 Yes,then he sold it to a group of individuals.

@Cindy SparkleFarts , Geeze! LOL

A good come back..

That was my thought just seeing the title to this video! 🥴

Is the scout for sale? I’m interested.

😁

Good channel. I'm not a fan of little pony tails on guys. If this evolves into a man bun I'm outta here!

@@bhaebe6671 Gotta remember the NH motto: Live free or die. And Mustie1 takes it seriously !

First convertible floor!

🤣🤣🤣

@@brh4115 Best Answer in Nov 21 !!

Thank you for info :)

@@DERB_Seymour_Indiana that was my first car I drove, 1962 Tempest!

304 is one way to describe a young lady of loose morals. (grab yourself a calculator type in 304 and turn it upside down lol)

Triumph here in the UK did it with their '68 slant four engine (Dolomite, TR7, SAAB 99), which was effectively half the V8 fitted to the Stag. The 16-valve 'Sprint' version is considered to be the first mass-produced multivalve car engine. Vauxhall also did the same with their Slant-4 from the late 60s until well into the 80s. It was intended to have it and a V8 built on the same line but the V8 never made it to production. It was one of the first to use a cambelt.

@@Graham_Langley the V8 was two 4 cylinder put together, rather than this which is a cut down V8. Utterly pointless to waste money on this with a V8 that worked in house

I laughed so hard at that comment!!

Nay lad Edinburgh is just far enough to knock the edge off her. That said a little weld here and some paint there some canvas over the seats and take the Miss out to dinner on Friday night.

Don't you have to view fine art under a black light?

PTO or overdrive. Old Jeeps and Land Rovers had a PTO option as well.

ive wanted this truck ever since i saw Chief Brody drive around in it in the movie, Jaws.

keep your bank account topped up

I want a Thing, a Gremlin, and a Pacer.

I thought Brody drove a Chevy Blazer.

@@oxyfee6486 i thought it was a scout. it reminded me of one.

152ci. 4 cylinders hacked off a 304 V8. The V8 it was based on was close to 800 lbs, and even the 4 cylinder weighs over 500.. Pontiac did the same thing in the 60s for the Tempest I believe.

There was also a version built off the 392. It was a 196.

"How bout chya" HANK!? Didnt expect to see you here...

What up Hank I was the same 😂

Yes, a fresh coat of paint and soon you can deliver the mail.

Everywhere I go I see Hank after watching his videos

Does PB Blaster repel women?

Thats what I was thinking too the whole time they were driving it

You are wicked smart!!

I am mechanic and never heard of this vehicle. This is good information thank you

I doubt that little slant 4 could muster the power needed to accomplish breaking anything but the 6 or 8 cyl. versions? Good to know!

@@orionwarren4244 It's half of a 304/345 and designed for torque, not speed. IH used these in a lot of farm equipment. USMC used these in the 1960s. Inspired Ford to build the Bronco. good times!

@@erikhilsinger9421 ?USMC? The US Marine Corps ?? Did they use them as runarounds on military bases, deliveries etc ? I had previously heard that the South Korean Military used the tiny Suzuki 3 cylinder 660cc, 5 speed manual gears, 5 door "Alto" in the 1980s/'90s as runarounds on military bases. As for such a tiny car the seating room is incredibly spacious. With the front seats adjusted forward for an average to short lower ranked driver (like my friend), there's plenty of room in the back for 2 full sized officers and the small hatchback area for some small luggage. I had one, they're great. It did 51mpg city and 61mpg country driving (Imperial mpgs) cruising at 95kmh/59mph in the country (our speed limit here is 100kmh/62mph anyway). That's only with carburettor, NOT fuel injection, and mine was already well over 200,000km / 120,000 miles when I bought it, and nothing major done to the engine.

...and a common fail point. BUT the KISS method wins again.

The Ballast Resistors purpose is to prevent too high voltage from killing the Ignition coil at a cruise speed, make sure that the Resistor stays in the circuit. Sometimes it's a ceramic sometimes it's a Resistor wire, has woven insulation .

@@marlobreding7402 The purpose of the ballast resistor is to make it possible to overcome the low system voltage caused by high current draw of the starter during cranking. High current draw lowers the system voltage which in turn weakens or kills the spark, making it difficult or impossible to get the engine running. The effects of high current draw and low voltage are worse in cold weather because lube oil is more viscous AND a cold battery has less amp output. So............ the ballast resistor ignition coil feed technique was created as a way to ensure adequate voltage for the coil during cranking. Instead of using a 12 volt rated coil, a coil rated at 6 or 8 volts is used. During cranking, the ballast resistor is bypassed and full, available system voltage is fed to the coil. During cranking the full, available voltage might only be around 8 volts due to the high current draw of the starter motor, and the coil is still able to make a strong spark, after the engine is running and the starter disengaged, the ballast resistor bypass circuit is opened and the ballast resistor feeds the coil at 6 or 8 volts and the coil and points are spared. But yes, keep the ballast resistor in the circuit and make sure it works.

@@larrywalker7759 there's an extra wire coming off the starter solenoid that supplies the full 12-volt during cranking otherwise you are running on a resistor. This is how GM has done their wiring since they went to 12 volts. Originally they had a ceramic voltage drop resistor near or on the coil. In the 70s I went to a resistor wire in the Loom. Running down the road the voltage needs to be lowered so as not to burn the coil. You are correct full 12 volts during cranking only. Just so you know I'm an L1 certified master technician since the early 70s with over 55 years experience. I've been through all the changes from generators two alternators from points to electronic ignition to computer control systems I am competent in all systems.

Yep! I would not leave that jumper wire on there, or you will soon be replacing that coil. I can’t believe Darren doesn’t know that…

It may be a pile of rust now, but it still manages to run after minor attention! It was hard to kill one of these old Scouts - unless you let them rust completely away. As others have said, try waking up a modern 4x4 after twenty plus years of inattention...!

Both of mine the fenders and floor boards rusted out completely. Salt and electrolysis from the ground.

Glad to see you were mostly complete. Hope the same could be said for your Scout. :)

Sorry for the typos, I didn't watch the auto-complete close enough.

I think my dad used to say there were only really 2 issues with those old IHOP Scouts. That ALL the tin panels rot away because of how thin they were and only getting something like a top speed of near 68 miles an hour. Odd how that one looks to be the manual transmission with the 4 wheel drive AND the 2 speed rear differential. Do correct me, because I've only seen my dad's Scouts about 16 years ago now shortly before he had to get rid of them. I sort of want to get one myself even if it does look like a rattle trap made of crappy tin work.

Imagine 2022... Septemberish...trying to start a 2015 Kia that hadn't started in 2 months

THAT is what I've been telling people for the past little while. Hell, they can't even get 2 hr old vehicles going for the lack of chips how about in 20 years? A better example (if you follow him) Samcrac has a 2004 Ferrari (I think) and it needed an ECU. Welp sorry, Bosch doesn't make them anymore and they're unrepairable. They used to sell used for $400 but they're so scarce now they are $2500.00.

@@muskokamike127 Millennials buy new cars more often than I buy clothes.They must have the latest iPhone and the biggest TV. Then they bitch about the environment. My daughter just fixed her 20 year old refrigerator. It had a leaking solenoid valve. Twenty-eight dollars in parts and two hours work. Her four year old now thinks she's a super hero. She knows she is the exception.

@@JohnP538 It's funny how much you can save by repair. My fridge wasn't cold and I traced it to a seized circulating fan....took me 20 minutes to find it, 20 minutes to clean it up with wd40 and back in. Still going strong 6 yrs later. Funny what you said about new cars. If you follow Doug DeMuro he goes on and on about features and rarely touches on the meat and potatoes: how long the vehicle will last. It's all about more and more bells and whistles meanwhile the quality of the foundation is crap....even on BMW and Mercs these days. I worked for a marketing company and the motto was "we sell the sizzle, not the steak" and that's what the auto industry has become: all sizzle. Daddy Doug just did a report on the Tesla Plaid. $135,000 vehicle and the panels were shit, the quality of the interior materials was shit, and the paint in some areas was coming off a month after delivery. GM recently recalled every single bolt they sold due to battery fires. The big three stopped making cars because people didn't buy them...because they learned they were shit.

@@JohnP538 well said,she is my hero too...we need to end the disposable ,no patience ,need it now,throw it away tomorrow mindset...ive got lots of 30-40 year old stuff that i keep going

How funny would it be if you did what a lot of you tubers are already doing and drop a 250cc harbor freight engine in it, and make a custom mounting plate to connect it to a chain drive to the fly wheel on the trans.

Pretty sure that was nipple bite prevention protocol .

IH trucks ... "Too fast for the field, too slow for the road." lol

Their 345 had plenty power.

@@beaverbushcraft2962 I’ve got a 73 half ton 4x4 Travelall with a 4 barrel 392. Things a monster.

And got worked hard, this one is not stranger to that by the looks of it.

geared to low.

Sounds good ! L o L

@@allenschmitz9644 slow, almost like a Model A

@@timothykeith1367 even in 1967 55mph top speed.

Yeah my 68 800a has the dana 20 with the lockout but it has the small v8 266 not the 304 or 345 nor the 392 they mad a 4 popper too 152 and 196 half a 304 or half 392.

Should be a Dana 18. The Dana 20 came along later and had a single shift lever as opposed to the twin sticks of the D18.

Not on a Scout. That thing has a fully boxed frame. Pretty stout construction.

Makes it easier for storage.

@@rayfunk5659 scout was stout

@@rverro8478 its the collapsible edition

I helped a friend on a 68 304 V8 in the same type of condition. Converted it to a pickup/ flatbed stake rack. Cut the roof. Used 1 inch plywood for the back of the cab. Half barrel beer keg for the gas tank. He drove it to and from work for 4 years.

Many panels are flat and can be fabricated

Sorry to hear about your back,get better from Woodstock Ontario Canada.

Lol. I'm getting "told you I was sick."
