Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
Richard’s got a crankshaft pulley. He’s going to be selling it, but in trying to determine a fair price, there are a couple questions we could not answer. So, we are hoping someone can educate us.
Capstan winch example:
Ramsey Example:
I have two of these, both off of park service jeeps, f head and Ramsey winch. I would guess they would also be used on pumps for fire jeeps.
someone on the CJ2A forum is looking for a capstan crankshaft pulley.
That one is for the Ramsey crank shaft driven winch , I believe it’s a C7 model. I had one posted on Dave’s site quite awhile back and it looks real close to what I had. They were common on the dispatchers etc
David: That’s interesting that they were on Park Service jeeps. I wonder why. What models of jeeps? Good idea regarding the fire jeeps. I’ll see if I can find something about that.
Ted: When you say Dispatchers, do you mean DJ-3As and DJ-5s? Or am I misunderstanding it?
Looks like they were CJ5-6 2-3As dispatchers and all universal Jeeps. If you search Ramsey C7 it takes you back to a nice brochure on these and listing of the one I had but no longer there as I was from EBay. I think it may have been listed somewhere else your site other than EBay but I couldn’t find pics. Neat little capstan for sure
park service cj5, soft half cabs, pto winch with in cab control, HD springs and 5:38 gears. very cool jeeps.
I am searching for one for my Ramsey Winch, if someone has a spare they would like to part with. Brian

Brian, you can try contacting Richard at his business: Washougal Classic Jeep (360) 837-3100 … maybe he still has the pulley or knows of another.
