Back -up Lights
John D. Ballard
It look like both options would work. I have the pipe plugs and the soft plugs. I have my tower back on an a new boot on top. It look like you could use the pipe threads to hold a switch with a rod to move a switch. I like the ideal and hope somebody could make this work. It also looks like I will have to break down and buy a manual. I can't believe we are reading the instructions.

Horn Assemble
Jerry Stoper
I would like to restore my 1947 Wagon steering wheel. I don't know if I
have all the pieces and exactly how they go together. I have a "Willys" plastic horn button and a chewed up ivory plastic cylinder with some notches in it and a metal plate on one end. What's missing and how does it go together???? Jerry (AR) |

Well Gang
as the story went, I spied this rig buried up to her fenders in weeds 3 years ago and she had a 6" tree growing between the bumper and grill we had to chainsaw, the cantankorus old fellow who yelled at me fer lookin at his rigs finally gave in to my monthly visits in his livingroom, hearing the stories of everywhere the willys had taken him here in north Idaho. and how the headliner got a hole in her when he drug a frozen deer into her whose legs were stiff. It goes to show you persistance paid off,, We drug her home with a tow chain 3 weeks or so ago, and i have been tinkerin with the studebaker 232 v-8 to se if she would run. Last weekend she fired off and the motor purrred! what a suprise sitting for 27 years,,, so of course this weekend i had to check out the drive train with a little back road action,,, not to mention FLUSHING ( yea i read the threads) brake lines ...lol so now i have been takin it easy cause she needs new shocks n stuff but wanted to send you all a picture of the Willys Wonka as she lives today |

I was looking over your shoulder here, and I noticed the worn gear seems to be without the holes or grooves to allow oil to lubricate the bearing surface of gear against shoulder of the shaft.

Reed (CA) >> Reed, I believe it had the grooves when it was new because the part numbers are the same and it's missing metal. I think the grooves just wore off.

Willys Tool W-139
For disassembling the T-case the book calls for Willys Tool W-139. For those
of you that haven't seen this mythical tool you can see the one from the book at: Since these tools are few and far between, I decided to make my own. This tool can be very important when attempting to remove the output shaft from the T-case. To do so the bearing must be forced forward on the shaft to access the snap ring. Once the snap ring is released from the groove, the output shaft can be driven out. The tool needed to be made out of metal that was softer than the bearings but not so soft that it would just break when hit with a hammer. It also had to start at a point and taper outward. A pickle fork would have been great (although a bit hard) but I couldn't find one large enough. I finally settled on the following approach. It only cost me $5 to make and it works great: I used a grinder to cut out the center. I bought the cheapest one I could find so it would be softer. I'm sure my grandchildren will find this tool after I'm dead and gone and spend a lot of time scratching their heads. :-) I feel a bad case of Vernitis coming on. :-) Rick S (TX) |

Re: rear main seal
Reed Cary
Arne,
I'm thinking that this was a recent topic, but maybe I'm loosing it. Somewhere, at any rate, I read a write up about this and how to do it with the new type of seal, instead of the old rope type. . . something about needing to thread the new seal with a thin piece of wire, whereby one can bend it and carefully feed it around the lowered crankshaft. But I've never done it with the engine installed.

Re: Frank's T-case
Well Frank, I've got some good new and some bad news. I guess I'll start with
some of the good news first. The transfer case is cleaned up and dismantled in the basement. Most parts appear to be in good shape although I think we should throw a new set of bearings at it. Your intermediate shaft and bearings will work just fine with this gear and your new caged bearings should work with this shaft as well. Taking your other transfer case apart though may ruin your new seals and gaskets. If you want I can go ahead and order a new set of them and then if we don't need them in yours we can put them in mine. Now for the bad news. Take a look at this gear: It is supposed to look like this: Fortunately, these two gears are the same, even down to the part number. The good one came out of the Dana 20, so it looks like it was good for something after all : Now for the rest of the bad news. This is the shaft that the gear rides on: See the spalling on the shaft? It should look like this: Now Frank, Before you get your hopes up, the shafts are not the same: I don't know it this shaft can be traded out of your other case or not. I would think the shafts were the same with just the gears being different, but without yours here to compare it's hard to tell. All of the damage to the shaft is added metal from the gear. I was out at Alvin Jackson Transmissions this week and they were turning shaft that had the same kind of damage on a lath. If you want, I can take this one out to him and have it turned. I think it would be fine after that. The rest of the T-case is in very good shape. I'm not sure yet what caused the damage that you have but I'm looking into it. I'll try to get back to you tomorrow.

Re: spring clips; Was:(no subject)

Those were to hold parts of the original top bows, as I understand it, the rest stowed away on the
outside brackets of the left-side rear wheel well. Reed (CA) --- CJ2A1947@... wrote: From: CJ2A1947@...=== _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at |

Re: that old saw
Reed Cary
Richard,
Don't know what to tell you exactly, but bear in mind that the original brackets were adjustable too, and that even a small adjustment - when carried to the top of the windshield frame- has great effect on the angle the windshield rests at. Bear in mind, too, that some allowance for compression of the windshield/cowl seal is in order. Any future installation of a top will be effected by this angle.

Re: Taking the "Windshield Down" thread way outta here
As the one who started this thread I should let you know that I went for a
glorious Sunday afternoon drive today, with the windshield DOWN and "damn the torpedos!" (but of course wearing my cool tinted safety glasses from Woodworkers Warehouse). In 90+ temperatures (and fairly high humidity) you can keep your air-conditioning! I'll just don shorts and a t-shirt, drop my windshield and cool off as God intended us to- "the Willys Way". On my return I decided to snap a few shots of "Ol' Blue Eyes" and threw together a bit of a collage. So if you're interested, here are a few views of her with windshield in both the recumbent and erect conditions. Cris '48 CJ2A Rye, NY |

Re: 'Ya gotta see this.
Reed Cary
That one has been a standing offer for some time, Kendal. It's only recently Ron @ g503 picked up
on it. Did you figure out the price pr.jeep. = $5000, and "complete" but unrestored. An OK price for one, but shouldn't you get a wholesale discount?

Re: that old saw
Richard
OK guys,remember the 2A windshield I ooed over.Well I have since learned
toggle quoted message
Show quoted text
there are a good many variations in the placement of the brackets on the body(after reviewing many photos). I copied the position off my scapegoat steel tub and transferred them to my glass body. Only problem is the windshield leans way to far back. Now I have to move the brackets down to straighten it up. This includes filling in the holes I just drilled(sniff). Measure three times,cut once. I should have done some visual first but you know what zeal can do. The only other option I considered was bending the brackets some.The frame is made of tube steel,not extremely heavy.Since I'm an electrician I could use a conduit bender carefully and tweak it a bit. My only worry is weakening the metal and it just lays back again with the air pressure at speed. Any advice? Thanks Richard -----Original Message-----
