Thanks to John Glancy, and now with the help of Mike Moore, I plan on refreshing/restoring Mike Kunselman’s Midas SSII.
I picked up the Scout from Super Scout Specialist on Thursday and stopped by ScoutCo on my way home to drop off the tub for Mike and his team to do their magic.
My plan is for Mike to do the body work - Jeff Jamison will do the upholstery, and I will do the frame, motor, drivetrain, etc.
I will team up with Tim Smolinski on some of the details, since he is the Midas SSII guru.
Will post pictures of the progress and any comments, needs etc.
Some interesting notes that I have found so far.
1- this was a HOT ordered Scout- the order was wrote on January 30, 1979 and was built on February 2nd
2- sold to IH store 138 in Milford Connecticut
3- special order for Arumie/Aromie - LST is blurry - anyone recognize this name?
4- no fender flares, no radio, 6way trailer wiring, step bumper were few things of note
Few oddities that we have noticed and trying to figure out. This motor has smog equipment on it, but it’s not designated on the line set ticket that way. (I have confirmed the engine number to be correct for this Scout.) This Scout currently has cruise control on the column and you can see on the dash the mounts as well. Again not noted on the LST. Finally, this has an AC unit installed, again not on LST, and did not expect it to be factory installed. I realize any of these items were most likely installed at a later date. But still worth pursuing its evolution.
If anyone has some history on this Scout, I would love to hear it. At some point, I hope to do a write up on it.
