The Indian Scout was built from 1920 through 1949. It rivaled the Chief as Indian's most important model. The Scout was introduced for 1920. Designed by Charles B. Franklin, the Scout had its gearbox bolted to the engine and was driven by gears instead of by belt or chain.[15] The engine originally displaced 37 cu in (610 cc); the Scout 45, with a displacement of 45 cu in (740 cc), became available in 1927 to compete with the Excelsior Super X.[9][16] A front brake became standard on the original Scout early in 1928 This therefore is a 2nd year of the Hedstrom Scout and as such a little bit rare. The bike is mostly there although it does not have a magneto or carburettor. It would make a great little project for someone and once complete would give someone years of service. The old saying goes" You can't wear out an Indian Scout"
