In 1965 I bought a brand-new Scout It had the turbo, 4:88 gears front and rear, Warn lock-out hubs, and a full top It was a Cadillac compared to the '49 CJ3A that I had been driving. I drove it back to the Midwest and felt like the 'King of the Road' for the whole trip. It would turn 3 grand at 70mph and topped out at 92 and 4 grand. The turbo made it pretty dead until about 2,000 rpm but really perked-up the 152 up above that. I remember climbing Ute Pass out of the Springs one dark night and when I got to Cascade I stopped and popped the hood. The head around the exhaust flanges as well as the exhaust manifold were glowing cherry red! :shock:
About 10 years ago I was sickelin' down the Pass and caught up with a Scout that was the same color and had the same backup lights as I had put on the '65 that I had gotten rid of in 1967. When I pulled up even with it much to my surprise there was the SAME GUY driving that I'd sold it to some 40 years before! The guy was showing his age but the old Scout still looked good in a pretty fresh coat of paint! If he's still kickin' I imagine that the '65 is too! :)

The engine on this tractor, a 1937 John Deere "B", had been stuck for 2 years before he gave it to me. This last spring (1999) I hauled the tractor to our 2 acre lot in St. Libory Nebraska where it joined my antique machinery collection, at that time a 1929 Caterpillar T
