Overview
The International Harvester CTS-2304 is a factory authorized reprint service manual for the 1971–1975 IH Scout II, covering 4×4 and 4×2 models.
The set is a two volume softback with 1344 pages, which is over 1300 pages. It covers all gas engines and all transmissions and reproduces the manual produced by International Harvester Corporation.
It is presented as a factory technical service manual with complete instructions and illustrations for the most difficult Scout II repairs.
The Scout II manual runs to two volumes because it covers a long list of systems on a larger vehicle than the earlier Scout 80 and 800. It covers four-wheel-drive and two-wheel-drive models and all gas engines and transmissions. Compared with Chilton’s and Haynes manuals, it offers more detailed factory instructions.
Key features
- Factory authorized reprint of the original manual
- 1300+ pages in a two volume set
- Covers 4×4 and 4×2 Scout II models
- All gas engines and all transmissions
- Electrical section includes wiring diagrams
- Softback binding with a glossy cover
Working through two volumes
A two volume set is easier to use when each volume has a clear role. Keep the volume that covers the system you are working on open at the bench, and use the index to jump between engine, drivetrain and electrical sections. Mark pages with sticky tabs so you can flip back and forth without losing your place.
Scout II trucks have many shared systems, so a repair in one area may depend on a step in another. Read the steps for both before disconnecting anything. Keep a photo log of your work, since the sequence matters when you reassemble parts that were removed together.
- Use tabs on frequently referenced pages
- Check wiring diagrams before disconnecting connectors
- Store both volumes flat and dry when not in use
