Jim,
You'll have that new steering box in place before summer ! And nice work on the motor mount. If in the least, you can always fix it the right way after Harvest ! :) Yep, jumping out of 2-nd gear on decal. That could be shimming, but I would replace 2-nd gear, and the synchronizer assembly. After doing a VW bug transaxle the 2-nd time over because I tried a used 2-nd gear the first time, it still popped out. Then the 2-nd time apart, I bought a new 2-nd gear and the synchronizer-hub. |

Think I should of said "picking" instead of harvest. We had navel and valencia oranges, lemons, 3 varieties of avacados, pecans, and yucky cherimoyas. So we had picking season year round. The 2A had no rest. It only shows 42K miles on it but the motor had endless running hours on it since we left it running while picking up lug boxes, plowing, or changing sprinkler sets. good times! The motor was rebuilt or replaced before 1960,

I have single lever hubs exactly like yours. Do you know the history on these or who made them? I did not find any manufacturer name markings. |

Got a phone call today from a guy wanting to know if I wanted parts from a 1960 CJ-5.
I could not say no! So off I went to see what he had. Ended up with a F head motor that has 43K miles on it and is fairly complete. 12V Starter is rebuilt....still has rebuilders shinny ID tag on it, Generator is 12V, 129 tooth flywheeland that is for the 8 1/2 inch plate...may drill it out for the 91/4 inch plate, a T-90 trans, and a few other items as well. He has a open knucke D-30 diff and a D-44 diff that I may pick up. Parts will make good trading material. |

Hi guys
I am still thinking of using a F head motor until I can rebuild the L head correctly. I do understand that if using the stock carb set up, I would need to cut a hole in the hood. Don't panic guys! I have an after market spare hood so no harm to the 2A hood would happen. Question: How much higher does the F head over the L head sit? I measuered my F head and L head heighth and came up with 2 inches. Is ths correct? I have a 1971 Jeepster commando Hurst scoop that might look really cool. Your input is needed Thanks, Jim |

If you cut the hood, will you still be able to fold down your windshield? For me that would be unthinkable to not drop the windshield. But that's just me.

Thought about that too. Wondered if a 2" high scoop was installed and put taller hood/windshield blocks on, could the windshield lay down ok . I don't have a CJ 2A/3A to test this idea out.

I think a scoop has to be mounted too far back on the hood and too
close to the bottom of the w/s for the w/s to clear without some
too-tall hood blocks. At least, most of the ones I've seen look that
way.

Picked up a Husky O.D that was rebuilt by Herm the O.D Guy today. It has never been installed. Being leary, I called Herm and he stated that the Husky and Warn are good units and how much does the person want for it. Told him the price and Herm replied buy it, I did.
This will be a great asset for the 2A.

Mike How have they worked for you? Would you put a military wrap on them? I lucked out on obtaining these, and was able to trade Jeepster Commando parts for them. A win win for him and me. Jim

The springs are just a bit stiff when the Jeep's load is light, but with a little weight they're good enough for me. I don't know how you would put a military wrap on them. I think they're strong enough to not need that anyway.
