I just posted to the FAQ some tables from a 1978 piece of IHC sales
literature about towing capacities, recommended axle ratios, etc.  The
maximum towed weight that IHC appears to recommend for a Scout II chassis
is 5,000 lbs -- or a Maximum Gross Combined Weight of 10,000 lbs.  They
recommend the 3.73 axle ratio for this load range.  Complete tables are at:

Hope this is of interest to folks.
