I had an ancient Travelall in the 1970s that was fantastic!

Just kept running and running...

I worked for a guy when I was in high school who had one. I remember driving it up a giant mulch pile in 4x4 low, 1st gear. Let out the clutch & it just crawled to the top giving it very little gas, no problem. It was like a Tonka Toy for big kids.

I never owned a Scout but had an interesting 1960s experience in one.

I was about 10-11 years old and went deer hunting with my dad. There were about a half dozen other friends in the group and dad and I rode in a guy's Scout to get to the hunting area in the back country. Guadalupe Mountains in New Mexico. We stayed in a motel in Clayton, NM.

So…. Up before daylight, drove some miles on pavement, some miles on forest service road, hit the 4wd trail for up a mountain and down a mountain to a valley and finally took an arroyo for awhile to begin the hunt.

Now…. The Scout…. At the end of the day, we headed back up the arroyo and climbing out it the Scout high centered and scraped off all the linkages, clutch, transmission and transfer case. So, we were on the wrong side of the mountain and 25-30 miles from town.

Stuck in low range and 2nd gear. The Scout started in gear then did the up and down the mountain 4wd trail, forest service road and pavement in 2low. Slow, long and noisy!

I did, too, in the late 1970s. My Dad bought it used in the 1960s and eventually gave it to me. Mostly rugged but crude. Great New England snow car - it had limited slip on both ends, which meant that if you could get just ONE wheel on traction, it would move. Had it's mechanical quirks, and the body rusted, but after running it for about 5-6 years more I sold it to a New York deer hunter who was overjoyed to get it.
