Hello from South Dakota

[Scout Driver]

I'm Scott and I am a new member. Really been enjoying this site.
I grew up with IH Scouts and Oldsmobiles so that is my addiction. I'm also on the lookout for International Harvester tools. Look forward to asking a few questions and even leaving some knowledge for everyone else.

Welcome aboard!

Thanks Cameronl

Welcome. I am a SD native(if that isn't obvious by my handle), "stuck" in Oklahoma. Grew up in Sturgis. Where are you located?

 

[Scout Driver]

Thanks for the welcome SoDakSooner. I am from Sisseton (far northeast corner of the state)

 

[SoDakSooner]

I lived in Watertown until I was 9 (which was 30+) years ago, and occasionally get up to Webster to deer hunt. I even remember a field trip to Fort Sisseton in elementary school.

 

[Scout Driver]

Went to Lake Area Tech in Watertown (1997 grad). Its a nice town that's really grown over the last ten years. I don't deer hunt but I do varmint hunt.

My dad just retired from the game fish and parks. He hunted coyotes for a living....not bad work if you can get it...

Let me guess. Your first year out of high school you went to SDSU, you grew up on a ranch/farm, and your last name starts with a "C".

Am I close?

 

[Scout Driver]

Costner....how'd u guess????

 

[Costner]

Well I was born and raised in Sisseton and only knew one Scott who drove a Scout. Heck... I think there was only one Scout in the entire town. I'd say it was a lucky guess, but in a town that small it wasn't too hard!

I was in your class up until Sophomore year when I moved to Mitchell. Ran into you a few times up at SDSU in 94. My first name is Craig... my old man used to manage the Cenex in town.

 

[Scout Driver]

Great to hear from you Craig. Heck yes I remember u. Hope you are doing well!

 

[Costner]

Glad to hear your interest in the Scouts hasn't faded. I still remember that one you drove back in high school. Do you still have that thing around? I remember you always treated it right so it wouldn't surprise me to learn it is still in service.

 

[Scout Driver]

My first Scout is still with me. 180,000+ miles and still runs strong. Been re-painted about 1997. This year it will get a 4" lift and 33" tires. My avatar is a Scout I bought a couple years ago. 22,000 actual miles and is all original. It was the service rig at the dealer in Wilmot.
