“Looking to sale an old Willys Jeep I have owned since 2006. This is a project Jeep. The best I can tell it is a CJ2a or CJ3a. I did have the Jeep running at one time. This is a project for someone with time and money. Will need a new starter and radiator for sure. The bed is extended which I was told was for medical use? Comes as is. I bought the Jeep with no paperwork and I cannot find any of the original VIN numbers. Looking for $1,300 cash. I do have multiple Service Manuals and Parts List as well.”

FC-170 Power Hoe Patent

I had this post all completed, then went to add some background information when I discovered that Craig had already added the first page of the patent to his post about the FC-170 Power Hoe. So, lots of heavy lifting in terms of content can be found here, while below you can view the whole patent. I think the illustrations are pretty neat.

UPDATE: Still Available.

(01/24/2019) Seller is still working on this.

https://modesto.craigslist.org/cto/d/modesto-1946-willys-cj-2a-rock-crawler/6827536045.html

“I’m currently working on a hand built rock buggy that started life as a 1946 Willys flatfender Jeep. I’m still working on it when time allows but I’m willing to let it go if someone wants to make a decent offer. This project is still a long way from being finished but the chassis is fully welded, suspension is complete minus shock mounts, drivetrain is positioned, engine accessories in place, radiator mount half finished, etc. A lot of tube work, body work, all the small details, and finishing work are still needed. You could say it’s basically a good rolling chassis.

100% of the work up to this point has been done by me over the last several years. The frame is 2x4x0.125 box tubing and the round tube is mostly 1.5×0.120 DOM. The 2” roll cage tubing is HREW I believe. Motor mounts, radiator mounts, most of the suspension link mounts are hand made since I didn’t want to compromise with pre-fab stuff.

1966 CJ-6 Westchester, CA SOLD

February 26, 2019 • CATEGORIES: CJ-6 • TAGS: Half-Top. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.

Two curiosities about this CJ-6. One, it appears there is a lien on the title. Two, this appears to have the original cover plate where the transfer case levers should be located. It makes me wonder if this was originally a DJ-6. The serial number ought to reveal that.

“1966 Jeep CJ-6, comes with removable Meyer steel half cab hard top, a period correct aftermarket top that makes the CJ-6 into a little pickup. The doors have rolling tempered window glass, and are complete, I believe one hinge needs to be sourced but the setup is otherwise complete.

Vehicle is a complete barn find – correct first year Dauntless crossfire V6, three speed manual, separate transfer case. Rare 60/40 bench option.

Not currently running, what you see is what you get – a fun, simple, rare old project jeep.”

Runs, but smokes.

“1950 Cj3A

Fresh rebuilt carb
Entire brake system is brand new
New front pinion bearing
Out of dmv system but I have the pink

The Bad:
The previous owner had this motor bored .060 over at a machine shop but did not touch the head. I believe the head is slightly warped and letting water into cylinder 3. If I had the time I would have it machined and have a good running jeep but I have too many projects. This jeep DOES run just smokes because of the head.

2000$ as is or 2500$ with a saturn overdrive unit.
Will be sold on stock wheels and tires.”

Civilian L-134 in Good Shape Wanted

February 25, 2019 • CATEGORIES: wanted This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Carlos Lopez from Navarro, Spain, is seeking a civilian L-134 in good condition from someone willing to ship the engine to Spain. He’s rebuilding the very first MB-CJ3B built in Spain (Civvy L-134s were installed in the early ones http://www.mb-cj3b.com/home_en/mb-cj3b_history). He’s spent the past year looking around Spain for an engine, but has had no luck finding one. Based on an ebay example he sent me (that seller won’t ship internationally), he’s willing to pay a reasonable amount for the engine (of course he’ll foot the shipping).

It sounds like a worthy project. Email me at d@ewillys.com and I’ll provide his email.

Here are some pics of his jeep. He’s buying parts as he can.

1945 Patent for a Jeep Bulldozer Attachment

On October 11, 1945, George W. Mork patented the first bulldozer attachment for a jeep as part of his work with Caterpillar Global Mining company. I don’t recognize the design, so I don’t think this was ever produced commercially, but maybe Caterpillar used it??
