I Have a Herd!!

The body serial number and vehicle serial number skew fits right in to the original pattern.

Thanks Bob.

Not much progress on this 3A. �As mentioned, it runs when fuel is poured into the carb. �The existing tank is home made. �PO added a home made tank under the passenger seat also. �He attached a shut off valve to the fuel line that would allow him to change fuel tanks. �This is mounted under the Willys, so...he cut a hole through the tub so he could access the valve :-? :-? :-?.

I determined the fuel pump is not working, and I don't trust the home made fuel tank, so I bought a new fuel pump (arrived today) and I'm working on repairing my old fuel tank from my other 49 3A. �My plan is to install the repaired tank, fuel pump, and replace the fuel lines. I want to see if the tranny and TC work, among other things. �I'm going to call a local Jeep hoarder �(Wally) and see if he has a spare 3A tub that he might be willing to part with. �

Oh, by the way, has anyone ever seen a winch like this? �Very few markings. �I posted this inquiry at WillysMJeeps... �

The winch looks like it was originally bed mounted for a tow truck.

Bob,

Sounds like you're right again.  What's new.

It's not likey to go back on the 3A.  There are some odd modifications under the Willys that I don't plan on trying to duplicate.  

By chance, would you have any photos that might show how this would have been set up on a tow truck?

Sorry, I don't have any photos. Most 70s era tow trucks were set up like that.

Thanks anyway Bob.
