Congrats on getting the engine running, great job, got to admit when I saw the open intake manifold and rodent evidence I thought it was maybe good for a block if you where lucky. Looks like a 47 I had where water damage ruined the rods. Joe w

I have brakes!! I reused brake shoes I had around and rebuilt the wheel cylinders/ master, I did have to make and run all new brake lines. Cleaned and repacked the wheel bearings, swapped a right axle shaft and hub because the keyway was damaged. I still have a clanking noise from the front axle that I cannot figure out, the zeppa joints looked fine so don't know what's with that. Still a lot to do but getting where it's usable around the farm. The pile of old brake parts left over...

I have to say I'm just as surprised,it fires up every time with just a few turns of the starter. There was a lot of swapping of parts off donor engines that were worse though, without having a piston and and a few valves on hand to put in it I don't know if I would have tried to fix it. |

Decided to play around with the hyd winch I've been building and test it off the wood splitter. Initial testing is really good, about 36ft a min on the second turn of cable and I have room for at least two more. Of course it easily drags the jeep with all four wheels locked.

Nice job! Is that a Ramsey hydraulic? Looks like it'd hold a ton of cable.

I made an adapter to bolt the hydraulic motor to the winch, so yes it is😀. Since my plan includes adding hydraulics, I thought the hydraulic winch would be more useful around the farm, it should give me 100% duty cycle with a line speed almost as fast as pto drive but completely independent of the drivetrain. It’s only a guess, but I think this spool will hold almost 300 feet of 3/8 line.

That'll come in handy. Can never have too much winch line.

Spent today collecting springs and hangers off a parts frame, they are heavily pitted but not hardly worn. I think they will be a big improvement over what’s on there now.

So much for the big improvement, these springs don’t have much more arch than what I took off, but at least these aren’t ready to break and I got the hangers fixed.
Also did a quick patch on the tailgate so it’s usable |

I wasn’t going to buy new tires for this Jeep, but I’ve had trouble keeping the old dry rotten tires pumped up and the Deestone 502 was such a good deal I Decided to do it. Found 4 rims that should be good enough and brushed them with some galvanizing compound, hopefully it will keep the rust down for a long time.

Worked on fixing the battery tray and building a hold down. Also patched up the fender a little where the corner was broken and filled in some holes, it’s not pretty but functional.

I always love to see updates on this thread. You have done a wonderful job taking a jeep that was destined to be parts fodder and turned it into a useable fun jeep.
