SSS Website and Important Special IH Scout NEWS! Super Scout Specialists website was down for 24 hours due the servere weather that hit Chicago Il, where our server is located. We are sorry for any inconvience this may have caused. We encourge you if you are planning to order parts to do so when you are ready. If the site goes down again in the next hours, please call us with your needs.
NOW An Important bit of IH Scout NEWS for those who have not followed us on facebook or found this news on the Binder Planet:
IH Scout to be recognized as an Official American Icon
US Congressman Tim Walz of the 1st Dist. Minnesota along with some of his colleagues will officially recognize the Scout as the American icon it is. They will enter into the congressional record a history of the scout and the passion it brings out in folks who love a piece of American history. This was to happen this week and myself and my brother Dave were set to attend the event in Washington DC. however they are debating a Defense spending bill this week so the time will be very limited for this to take place during the US House of Representatives Special Orders time. So Congressman Walz may read a brief statement regarding this and then he may do the official reading of the history and some stories after they return from recess in the next month or two according to Sara Severs Communications Director for Mr. Walz. The special orders sessions are filmed on C-Span so you may want to watch or TVR the house of Reps. channel Thursday night thru Friday Morning.
We hope to put together a small delegation of Scout owners to attend the event at the Capital if it is held later in the summer. I want to Thank Jeff Bade for his help with this.
Updated Information: The congressman and his great staff have decided with all that is going on now in the House to do a short one minute speech this week and then do a larger floor speech later in the summer. The speech this week will be somewhere around 9:00 AM this Friday morning. (Watch or record C-Span)
More support for this may not hurt, We stopped by our local Congressman's
office to urge him to support for Tim Walz's endeavor. It would not hurt if
you are so inclined to contact your local congressman to do the same.

Happy Birthday to the "WOW WAGON" April 19, 1971 Double Anniversary Celebration!
The first "WOW WAGON" Scout II came off the production line on April 19th, 1971 making this date another Milestone in International Harvester History
The Scout II According to Ted Ornas The First Generation Scout Chief Designer:
"The idea was to make the vehicle even more attractive, a little larger, and incorporate more choices of power and drive train. Ted said the Scout II was developed mostly in rented facilities at Wettlaufer’s in Detroit and proceeded without a lot of interference from factions that might have favored different directions. This project was marked by definite IH control, with Ted hiring the modelers and designers. As soon as possible, the Scout II clay model was moved from Detroit to Fort Wayne, and the remainder of its development occurred there. However, the final result did come under some criticism as being “too pretty”. That problem was solved when the Scout II prototype was run against its existing competitors over a representative on/off-road course which was assembled at the Fort Wayne test track. In the end, the “pretty” Scout proved to be the first choice of nearly all of the focus group participants – which was purposely selected to be a very diverse group."
The Scout II's new price tag was higher than its predecessor the Scout 800B, in fact many dealers wanted IH to continue to build the Scout 800B to give the public a cheaper choice, but it was not to be and the result is the Scout II that we all know and love. The next generation Scout project was designated Scout 810 but this was later dropped completely a few months after production began, hence you may see a few early Scout IIs with an 810 sticker inside the glove box door.
