That's Amma, an alpine dairy goat.�

She'd come in handy pulling the jeep, not riding in the back. 8-)

This isn't a barn find, it's a barn build!

Continued on with the injector pump side of the engine. The secondary fuel filter housing is on the right of the photo towards the back of the engine.



Installed the rebuilt injector pump with low and high pressure fuel lines. The grey lines above the valve cover are the leak off lines. The leak off system feeds excess fuel that the injectors don't require back to the fuel tank.



It takes a long time to make sure all the lines are plumbed correctly. All these lines have been meticulously cleaned inside and out. Any contamination past the secondary fuel filter would be very bad for the injector pump and fuel injectors. Note the final components of the throttle linkage.



Here's a bigger view of the whole drivers side of the engine. The gray line that passes around the back of the block brings the fuel from the lift pump to the secondary fuel filter. This line is bigger than the high pressure lines. It looks to be 1/4" while the high pressure lines are 3/16". Sorry the pic is a bit fuzzy

This is when I was getting the trim together on the lift pump (passenger's side) of engine....the grey lines on the right are for lubrication. New copper crush washers installed to form 'joints'. The rebuilt lift pump installed on left.



Intake and igniter installed:

I went from not knowing diesel Jeeps existed to learning of two in a week.I stumbled across a '59 for sale out in Phoenix.

http://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/cto/4191266092.html

I reached outa couple of weeks ago to that fella but never got a response. If the body is in very good shape I think it would be a fair asking price. Looks like a PTO winch up front too.

Sounds like there a problem with the transfer case.

The smoke could caused by something as simple as a bad injector or dirty filters.

So I did manage to slowly get the replacement Perkins up to snuff. The crank spins freely and the replacement engine came with a big box of parts like a rebuilt injector pump, a set of injectors, Lucas starter parts. All the rest of the trim is there like the lift pump, high pressure fuel lines, oil filter housing, fuel filter housing, water inlet and outlet.

Rebuilt injector pump.....



The injectors....



Checking the fitting of the pump

For your information Ryan, Diesel jeep was rare. Mainly made during the Kayser-Willys era.

This one should be a late 1963 or early 1964.

Hey thanks for posting that doc. I hadn't seen it in a long time!� 8-)

Nate, I'm embarrassed to say I haven't been to that show and it's only about one mile away from me!

The pic above is my backup motor which came with the jeep. I have saved the chunk which blew out of the side just in case!

But I did find this� 8-)

I think I know the guy you got that from. Was his name Wayne? If so, that is where I got the tub from for my '53.

Yes Nate, that would be Wayne�

The price was right and I'm a sucker for punishment. Far as I can tell, it wasn't run since the 80's. It broke the #2 rod and this happened�



Here's the vin tag;

Very cool. I didn't know you could get a Jeep of any type with a factory diesel...especially during the CJ-6 era. Keep the pics and progress coming.

Thanks Ryan

Yes, I understand that Kaiser offered the Perkins from 1955 up to the mid 60's. The records are quite sketchy but from the best I can gather, mine is a 63 or 64. They sold very few Perkins equipped jeeps.

Here are the glow plug and stop controls.


A closer view of the injector pump side of the motor.


And the lift pump (passenger) side with fender and both batteries removed.


Thank you for your interest!

Hey folks, I just joined and wanted to share what I've been working on...but very slowly. I bought it in early 2011 in Vermont.


This CJ6 comes with a factory Perkins 4.192 diesel.


It's more or less unmolested. It came with all of the parts specific to the motor including tags and data plates.

Welcome to the site! You can hitch a ride on the next run we have!

Sweet! At least I can push if someone get's stuck! [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

I hope to have it rolling by 2015 realistically. There are no plans to make her shiny (bet you've heard that before). Mechanically sound and no rust are my goals. I like the patina the way it is!

Welcome Peter. Good to see another New Englander here. We had a very fun trail ride out in your neck of the woods last year and I hope we'll do it again this year so stay tuned. Here's some pics:

Yes, I saw that after pouring over this site over the past couple of days  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Hillsborough is about 1/2 hour away from me, however I fear my jeep is still a couple years away from being done! I'll stay tuned.

Yeah, I'd say put it in "Stock Jeep Project" since it is stock, even though it's not a 3A. It wouldn't fit in "Non-Jeep" since it is a Jeep.

I'm sure most of us will be interested in anything you can tell / show us about your diesel. Many of us will envy you as well. I sure wish I had a diesel. That would be so cool.

OK, 'Stock Jeep' folder it is....stay tuned!

Hi Gang;

I haven't owned a flattie yet, but when I do it will likely be a 3A or M38. I'm in search mode and is one of the reasons I joined this forum.

My first project was a M38A1 in the early 90's which was a non-stock build (mostly 12 volt and brake mods). I sold that jeep in 2003 when I moved at the time.

Right now, I'm slowly working on a 64 CJ6 with a factory Perkins diesel. I acquired that project in early 2011. I'd like to share my experiences with that project....what's the correct place to begin that thread? 'Your stock jeep project' (yes, will be very close to stock)?

Thanks for your help!

Pete
