Haha he posted in the TM upload forum, was not possible to answer post until now. Sounds like your transmission harness has shorted wires. Check the harness end to end very carefully.
In my opinion, the key to reliability in these trucks is to replace the 1984 engine/transmission with a early 2000's HMMWV takeout GEP 6.5 engine with 4L80E overdrive transmission. This is a drop in swap with the only tricky part being the transmission controller.
What year is your truck? Need to know that to advise where the computer(s) are. Tachometers were standard on winch trucks, you will need to find the components that were installed on winch trucks.
And maybe the cable is broken in the conduit. Pull the end that's in the transmission and see if the plunger moves when soldier b presses the gas pedal.
Its funny how those goats have been discussed on this forum so many times over the years as they sat there at the forestry yard forever. Everyone speculated that they were going to be scrapped.
Look at post 4. Based on that data, looks like Willys was cranking out about 1500 jeeps per month. So your is about 3240 jeeps after serial 75910, or 11/54 give or take.
You should not have a hinged grille though.
Curious how the ear got broken off? Let me guess GP forklift rash? Hopefully the shaft is not bent or case cracked. Had to be an immense force to break that part.
The USMC trucks all have factory fording kits and with that comes the air cleaner housing bottom drain delete cap. If for some reason the mushroom rain cap gets lost, the air cleaner fills with rain water and eventually runs into the engine.
While you install the new harness, run a new wire from the steering column area to all four lamp-units. Obtain a flasher handle, harness, and module from a later model truck. Match up the 461 etc numbers.
