Looks to be WWII vintage. The large hole on the front panel is for the WWII style intervehicular connector. Also, the 7.50-20 tires were commonly used in WWII. Nice score!

Wow. Downrange target. Some advice from personal experience. Render it safe before getting really busy on it by grinding/burning off all the shards from the hits. They are razor sharp and will stab and cut you like a knife as you are working on it.

You are opening yourself up to far more liability with this homebrew set up than you ever would have selling the truck with the stock brakes.

You guessed right, first generation HMMWV.

cbvet, I stand corrected! Where did you find that tidbit of information?

It LOOKS like a V4HD Wisconsin engine, but it is not. The aluminum engine is a one of a kind made by American Motors.

It's kinda hard to tell how bent it is, but it looks ruined to me. If the two bores are not in perfect alignment, getting the new joint pressed in will be impossible. You might be able to straighten the bore by removing the cross, and then tapping the cup back in the bore, and then inserting...

Welcome to the site. Try prying on the intake with a claw bar. It's a tough casting. Hope the "knock knock" you are hearing is not from ingestion of the stud!

Sandblast using #4 sand. I use a 175 CFM compressor and a 2 sack pot, but my buddy has good results with a hobbyist type pot using two 5 hp compressors ganged together.

US 90 is much more hilly than I-10. It is 2 lane. But much more scenic. Not too much 18 wheeler traffic. Lake Amistad is a nice area. Out there, you will see old military trucks in every little town. Enjoy and bring the camera!

Welcome to the site. I believe your generator is WWII vintage, and the spark plugs and shielded wires are aircraft type and not available anymore. The points and condenser is likely the same as a Jeep, ask at your local auto parts house for a 1960's CJ-5 with a F134 engine, the part numbers...

Member "eldgenb" has experience with this. See his build thread "Overkill Customs M920". He mentioned two pumps being inside one housing.

You have to actuate the second lever for flow to occur?

I drive mine 55 all the time and no oil comes out under the hood. You have a leak somewhere. Really nice Jeep!

Wow! This really improves the usefulness of the 871. Can you give length of the beavertail and how high off the ground the very end is.

Defense contractor? OK, sure . . .

Thank YOU Elky for passing the info on!! The date I was up there was Monday April 25, and that was the day the first round of tornados were going though just north in Arkansas. That was the uglyest sky I have ever seen.

Well, I thought you guys would be interested in the next chapter of this little Jeep's life. Since I had a trip to Texarkana planned anyway, I brought along a trailer just in case this Jeep was a keeper. It was, thankfully, and she followed me home. I started cleaning her out there at the hotel...

Good Luck! If you need emergency parts support, please PM. I've got a deuce on the deadline that I can pull parts from if needed. Please Please do not flat tow your 14,000 lb deuce behind a F250 down I-10.
