Little Scout Blue

Little Scout Blue 1963 IH Scout It is believed that I was manufactured in 1962 and released on the market in 1963. The rest is a story which can be seen in my pictures!

: )

Chris saw me in a field many years ago and told my caretaker that he would love to buy me if he was ever thinking of selling me! So when my caretaker decided it was time for me to leave my field he called Chris who was more than happy to come get me. So I was taken away by my old friend the Big Blue Power Wagon in the Winter of 2009/2010.
