Overview
The International Harvester CTS 2302 is a factory authorized reprint service manual for the 1961–1971 IH Scout 80, 800, 800A and 800B.
The softback manual carries over 800 pages of repair information, with an index of all vehicle systems and sub-systems. International Harvester Corporation produced the original, and this is a reprint of it.
This is a factory technical service manual with complete instructions and illustrations for difficult repairs. One book covers all Scout 80 and 800 model years.
Factory manuals differ from general repair books in depth and detail, and this is a reprint of the original International Harvester document, not a rewrite. The brand’s own description compares it with Chilton’s and Haynes manuals, saying it is a much more detailed factory manual. The contents run from axles through wheels, tires and rims. Because it is a softback reprint, expect the format of the original rather than a modern layout.

Working from a factory manual
A factory service manual works best when it is open and within reach while you work. Read each procedure through before you loosen anything, and set aside the tools and fasteners it calls for so you are not searching mid-job. Keep a notepad nearby to record torque sequences, part numbers and anything that differs from the book.
Older trucks often have rusted or seized fasteners, so penetrating oil and patience go a long way. Label wiring connectors and hoses as you remove them, and bag small parts by system. The electrical section and its wiring diagrams are most useful when you photograph the harness before disconnecting it.
- Clean the area before you start a repair
- Check the index for the correct system
- Compare each diagram with the wiring on your truck
