Indian Scout 101 1929 model, Barn find / paddock find frame rescue. electrolysis rust removal. rare

Here is a few pics of a 1929 Indian 101 Scout frame I rescued from a paddock in around 2014 in Victoria Australia. I First saw the frame sitting there in the early 1990's and the farmer said it had been there for over 30 years already out in the elements but was not for sale. So I tried to buy it every few years whilst it sat there decaying and eventually in 2014 he let it go to me. I took it home along with an AJS big valve 350 sport frame that was rusting beside it. I dipped the frame in my electrolysis tank and removed the rust then coated it in wd 40 spray to help preserve it. The frame was then sold to an Indian enthusiast who had many parts to suit it already and is now back together as a riding bike I believe. Sometimes rusty old things in paddocks do get a second chance at life. I hope you enjoyed the clip and subscribe to my channel for more interesting clips. Thanks for watching

That frame is in damn good condition. The neck cast is completely open, the tubes rust on the inside all the way back to the axle plates. good on you for saving it

It’s amazing what’s still out there that’s something the Americans would go crazy for I think
