Picked up the Scout from Gerald at Jeff Tech today. Man, does this guy know his way around a Scout! He fixed all the electrical problems - missing grounds, broken wires... now all the gauges are working for the first time in probably decades! Replaced master cylinder... now we have brakes to spare. The steering is all okay, the clutch is good, tranny good - the only issue I have with this tranny is that being a 3 speed and being geared so high, that when I need to crawl out of a tight spot, I have to lock the hubs and drop it into 4WD to grab the power I need. That 1st gear just doesn't have it! The limits of the 196 and the 3 speed are just that... but using the 4WD helps a lot...

Back in the shop today for some electrical work - horn, rear signal lights - and a raer brake hose...
Good looking little Scout.
Where did you find that soft top? Does it require a roll bar/cage?
