I keep looking for one of those pulleys...I have the rest of the PT0....they come up for sale occasionally...big$$$$

And just think, a whole generation will grow up knowing those PTO pulleys were for ice cream makers....!

Thanks everyone!  Steve, it is really funny you mention that because the ice cream maker is on my list to make in the spring.  My Dad and I have a few old ice cream makers and assorted pulleys on the farm.  I think it would be fun to drive the jeep to a car show or car club meeting and make a batch of ice cream while I was there.

What's the point of having a PTO and drum pulley if you can't have fun with it!

Very very nice. Somewhere on You Tube is a guy who attached a ice cream maker to his PTO grearbox. He loaded it up and went for a drive and came back with eats.

So I finally made it to the show!� Since I'm a member of the car club, my Jeep didn't get judged so I didn't bring home any trophies.� Also, I was in charge of getting the vendors set up, so i was running around almost all day and didn't really get a chance to take many photos of the jeep.

Here is the one good one I snapped early in the day while the jeep was sitting in front of my office.


I got a LOT of compliments on it and too many questions to keep up with.� Oddly enough, the question I heard from more than one 16-18 kid was, "Cool Jeep!� Is that thing in the back (the PTO/belt pulley) for the 4 wheel drive?"

What do they teach these kids? :-?

Looks better with every set of pics. I think you have now earned the privilege of updating your "1951 CJ3A  Still in pieces" signature line.

Good luck at the show. Let us know how many awards you bring home.

I finally got my windshield back from being repainted and a new glass put in.� I slapped it on last night and snapped a photo.� I still need to finish up the wipers and run the vaccuum lines from the fuel pump to run them.� Most importantly, it needs a good bath and a wax to get ready for its first car show Saturday.� Looks like it is going to be a few late nights getting it ready!

My little model couldn't wait for a "ride" out of the shed for a quick photo before it got too dark!

What a great representation of a flat-fender jeep!

Subtle, just as an old jeep should be..

So I made some big progress on the jeep this weekend.� I managed to get the motor installed (again), hooked up and started.� In addition, I finished up my tailgate chains, trans and t-case covers and boots, seat belts, tool box, footman loops, bumper, hood installed along with all the hardware and blocks and topped all the fluids off.� After doing that, I found my front oil seal on the t-case leaked.� ::)

Here is a photo of the back all finished up..


Also, you may remember back at the beginning of the thread where I talked about my buddy dropping his paint gun and bent up his tip........right before we painted the bottom of the tub.� Well, because of all that headache, he asked me to incorporate that bent tip into the jeep somehow.� While it's not factory, it does have a good story behind it!


The tip actually rotates to unlatch and open the toolbox.

Last thing is the windshield and it should (hopefully) be painted by the end of the week!

Makes my 5 foot paint job look like I did it with my eyes closed! Very impressive!

After an unbelievable amount of work on the tailgate, it is finally done! �My friend/paint man did an amazing job on this. �Next up is new chains and covers to hold it on...
