Jeep Willys
Ok, about twenty years ago I had a 1951 Willys cj3A. I bought it from a farmer in Deepwater. I was maybe 20 percent into the restore when I basically ran out of money and graduated from school. Reluctantly, I had to sell it. It is the one thing I have ever owned that I wish now that I could have back. Anyhow, I'm starting the process of getting another one. I've been checking online sites and looking for something in the 1947 to 1951 cj2a or cj3a range. Any of you guys ever restored one of these completely? I'm not an all original buff, but would probably want to get as close to that as I can. Any tips on locating one, restoring one, etc. would be great. thx

I've noticed a little sqeal in the power steering and looking at it, almost acts like the unit is "catching" or not turning right...but the wheel doesn't wobble. not sure about that.

Alot of crud inside the radiator cap too. I'm thinking flushing that is moving up the chain of "to do" list.


I just got back from a couple hour backroad cruise with one of my buddies from HS. It was a lot of fun, but seemed a little off without our 3rd wheel, who we buried this winter.
Transmission, TF727? Some Jeeps used those too.
Sounds like new fluids are in order all the way around.
While you're doing that jack one end up and drain the differential then pull the cover. Stamped into the side of the ring gear should be either the gear ratio or the tooth count for the ring and pinion, which you can figure gear ratio from.

In case you didn't already have this bookmarked here is a gear ratio calculator I have found to be very helpful.

thinking of checking this one out a bit. I'd probably switch the flat 4 for a 6 anyhow.

Radiator with no fluid, no brake lines going to either axle, exhaust that’s about to drag the ground and stays with the chassis when they pull the driveline.
Good thing they aren’t driving it far.

Yeah, but they still managed to take most of a car apart and put it back together in less than 4 min's.
With today's cars, there are some batteries that can't be changed in half a day.

Oh I know. Some front wheel drive V-6’s require that the engine be disconnected at the motor mount and rotated forward just to change the spark plugs on the rear cylinder bank.
Sorry, didn’t mean to poo poo their demonstration just point out that this particular Jeep has been specially prepared for this demonstration. Otherwise the teamwork is impressive. They work together with precision rivaling an NHRA Top Fuel crew.

So, what did you find out?
Keep in mind, swapping motors around in these things may be popular but its not as simple as bolting in the new mill. The old motor mounts will have to be cut out, new ones burned in and there are a few measurements and angles that need to be built into how the engine is placed.
Not trying to scare you off, just saying.
