Hello Hello !  Didn't know this sight still viable. Good to hear it is. Please excuse this posting. I am an old luddite on the computer. Just wanted to put out there that I still have those motors and am about ready to scrap them. Listed under James Seibert Phone (509) 248-8708. Also to Eldon would like to stay a member for a while. Thanks.

This has the stock Nissan 633 Turbo engine-

Body is average and minimal rust but does need some interior TLC. Rarely driven.  Odometer and speedometer don't work and didn't when I bought it.

Some work done since I bought it:

Radiator

Brake booster

rebuilt alternator

Runs well.  Occasionally the brakes go hard so that will need to be trouble shot. Also, a small…

I HAVE A NISSAN DIESEL MOTOR THAT CAME OF A 4X4 SCOUT I WOULD LIKE TO SELL IT I LIVE IN SAN DIEGO

CALIFORNIA E-MAIL= paloranch@yahoo.com

    Hello out there !       Not to sure if this is the right place for this or not but here goes. I have two (2) SD 33 engines  that I have no use for and was wondering if anyone out there could use them. One is disassembled for rebuild the other is still together. Both seam to be missing their fuel lines but otherwise are all there.  Was hopeing to get a little for them,but more than that wanted them put to good use rather than going for scrap. Any interest please give a shout. Thanks. Jim…

Today my beloved International Scout with a Nissan Diesel engine passed on. The victim of a cracked piston. She was a good engine. Kind and easy to start on a warm morning with just a whiff of ether. Never asked for much more than a tank of fuel every other week, and some oil. Lots and lots of oil.







In later life she did start to hit the bottle more and more. What… Continue

I thought there was some progress on this issue from past contact I made with WIX filters, Carquest, and NAPA. I see something changed, the Wix website again lists a bunch of incorrect filter applications for Nissan Diesel Powerd IH Scouts.  The air, fuel, and oil filters are incorrect. using the wrong filters WILL cause major engine damage. See the filter list for the correct filter numbers. copied below are documents with past communications with WIX, and a bulletin showing the correct…

Anyone in the Houston area know where I can find a fuel filter for my 78 Scout?  ordered on on scout parts and they waited 5 days to tell me it will take 10 days to get one in.

HYDRO-BOOST YOUR BRAKES







What is Hydro-Boost?



Hydro-Boost is the name of a hydraulic power brake booster patented by Bendix in 1974. The Hydro-Boost unit is used to increase fluid pressure in the brake system, while reducing pedal effort. This unit does the same job as a vacuum booster, and is connected to the brake system the same way. The main difference is the Hydro-Boost… Continue

adding info for Scout and Diesel parts sources



Fellow Diesel Scout owner Ray Mull from Geronimo, TX has Scout Traveler liftgate cyinders available.



===============



I was wanting to help the IH community too in some small way. I was hoping you would add this to your list of vendors or tell me how. As a merchant, all my life, I know how important a good source of quality parts at a reasonable price can be for anyone, but particularly for the IH owner. As I seek… Continue

I have had mine for 18 years now and still counting and still has the SD33T in it.

I show 2 pictures, one is a black ORT terra.



All the experiments I do are tried out here first.

The latest is working out well. The GP's have been replaced with 10 sec plugs that self regulate some, for the tests.

As of today 7/10/07, the key is turned on [COLD] and a light comes on for 10 sec (as well as the GP's).

When the light goes out it dims indicating that it is cold and then the sys starts blinking the light and GP's. Now you crank until starting. The blinking of… Continue
