wow you have done a lot the your Scout. with all that time a money into it I would be afraid to take of off road, I guess that is what the hot water shower if for. to wash off the trail dust?

I parked the Cornbinder in the barn 21 years ago because the pinion bearing went out. been going to get to it one of these days

.
behind the 345 is a 4 speed with a 3 speed brownie. deep under, direct and over. one of these days before I get too old got to get it running again. but with the cost of gas, and it getting 12 - 13 on a good day. last time I drove it gas was $0.55.
