Welcome to Texas you will love Waco and the area around it.

Shaft and bearing stay in place. The retainer cap holds the seal.

Yes that retains the bearing and holds the seal.

Yup remove the yoke and the retainer, replace seal with modern seal (take yoke and retainer to bearing supplier for measurements). Remove shims if there is shaft play. Put a speedysleeve on the yoke if it’s grooved.

I would go with a group 55 AGM, that will not leak and it will fit in the battery area much better.

'53 should be a Dana 25 so your donor Jeep should work. The MB/GPW would be identified by having full floating rear end so I would avoid using that front axle as the steering linkage is different.

Wow I have been messing with Jeeps for a long time and have never seen that. I still think it's repairable by a good welder. Finding a good used front axle and then paying for shipping will cost much more than the repair.

If you're not working on concrete just put a 4x8 sheet of plywood under the tire and lower the jack so the tire just touches, then you can easily (?) wiggle the wheel off the lugs and roll it somewhere. It's a bear to lift the tire/wheel vertical after you change it but it's doable by hand.

Yikes I have never seen that before. I would remove the axle and take it and the new race to a weld shop and have him blacksmith it back together and then weld the race in.

Start back at the basics. Have someone crank it and put your finger over the #1 spark plug hole and see if the #1 spark happens when the compression blows your finger off the hole.

Check the fuse on your DC to DC converter behind the seat.

glcaines nailed it. Put a pair of BatteryMinder 2012-AGMs on your Hawkers and they may last forever!! I have a pair of 2008's that are going strong being kept warm and happy and defibrillated by the 2012's.

Welcome! Good looking 09. Well besides the obvious Harper Kansas Fire Dept, before that your only hope is to look for unit markings under that very nice red paint. Markings would have been stenciled on the front and rear bumpers. If HFD sanded those off, well unfortunately nobody knows.

Yes but they don't have military models in the system. Tell them you have a 1955 CJ-5.

2.73 a mile for winch on winch off load is a bit light. Suggest you get off U Ship and rely on a broker that understands these commodities like United States of Freight.

these bearings are shot in your knuckle, replace them.

next time heat it with a cutting torch and then put a pipe wrench on it.

Google "quasi title". Hope he still has the purchase paperwork.

Ha here I go again. Items 1, 2 & 3 make the radio on the left sponson, called a AN/GRR-5 or "angry 5" shortwave receiver. Very good tube radio. items 4, 5 & 7 make the AN/VRC-10 transceiver, FM 38-55 Mhz. The base is MT-299. Standard field vehicular radio 1950's. Angry 5 good bargain price...

For sure your M170 was a USMC radio Jeep, see the two large holes in the dash to the right of the instrument cluster. The radios the previous owner installed are not the correct radios for the MRC setup anyway so no harm in removing them. Your radios are very much in demand by military vehicle...
