Geez Tom, if you want to match the paint to a good old tractor you'll need to go JD Green..

Hi Tom,
Great looking project. I just picked up #11662 today and am in the process of assessing it. I know someone switched out my steering column to eliminate the column shift, but until I saw your steering wheel, I assumed the one on mine (which looks like yours) was also a later model wheel that was on the replacement column. I've been under the impression that the VEC 2A's had spoked military-style steering wheels, but if yours is original to your jeep, I might need to do more research on that. Sincerely, John

I’m pretty sure my steering wheel is not correct. I bought an original spoke style wheel to replace it. Congratulations on the purchase!

Great, thank you for confirming my suspicion. I have started a list of parts I need to track down and spoked steering wheel is one of them. Once I've done a thorough assessment this week, I'll post my findings (aka, the "shopping list.")

I have been slowly gathering up some parts (generator, keyed coil, correct oil filter assembly, steering wheel, spare tire rim, driver's seat). I am going to install a PTO on this, so I took apart my pto gearbox and cleaned it up. Put in new seals, reassembled, and painted. I am going to pull the motor out shortly. As I have began the disassembly, I have noticed that there are many fasteners that are the wrong size or just missing. Does anyone know if their is a listing out there of the specific fasteners for the 2A? I am a long ways off from needing it, but thought I might start doing some research.

The Willys Parts Manual lists a lot of the fasteners and their type and sizes, a great help when restoring one of these jeeps. Jim

Looks like the parts list will be a BIG help. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.

I removed the motor and body over the past few weeks. Obviously not in a hurry...
As all can see, the frame will need some work on the driver's side. Underside of the bed with the original Harvest Tan and some original rust too. A previous owner had the floors and hat channels replaced. But the transmission hump is not right for a column shift transmission cover. So that will need to be dealt with also. |

It's kind of a shame to see a tire with that much tread still left that never got used.

There's a reason it's called Ol' Unreliable

The tires are pretty much all in the same condition. I would guess that they haven't done much rolling in the last 40+ years...
