Bought A Jeep Yesterday...

Wife found this on facebook.......I think she wants to keep me busy since I am retired and she is not...

Shouldn't have bought it but could not stop myself.



Seller said it is a 62 model....came with a "supposedly" rebuilt engine.


Has a winch..I know nothing about winches....comments appreciated



I know everyone likes photos.....

 

I was wondering about the bell housing.....looks different than any I have seen on a V6....the motor mounts look weird to me too...

Hey Richard....... This should keep you busy. Look's like fun.
BTW, nice ' Patina'

 

Looks fun another az jeeper im in phx alot if you ever need a hand or anything cool jeep

 

Winch is a Ramsey PTO. Probably a 200 series. But Cap is right, missing the PTO itself. In the pics you can see the sprocket where it should attach and the driveshaft U joint hanging in the wind.

 

I have that same winch on mine if you need specs/pics.

 

Ill have it at our place in phoenix after next week sometime. Lemme know if you want to take a look or need me to shoot some pics

 

That jeep has a lot of potential with the V6 and the winch. I don't see any rust. Congrats!

 

Do you have the pto adapter and PTO? I see it has overdrive.

 

Is that a back seat and a front or is that a split bench like a tux?

 

It appears it is a split bench

 

No PTO and adapter...I think I am a long way away from needing/looking for one.

 

Thats a rare option i think

 

With that bellhousing, the V6 must be a 198 and not a 225/231. Nice looking project!

 

i stand corrected i inderstood that the split bench was tux only/ super rare

 

PTO winch turns a recreation vehicle into an all-round workhorse. It will pull anything that is loose at both ends.

The PTO takeoff should be relatively inexpensive to obtain.

 

The V6 in the pictures looks like a 198. Does the back of the block have two "ears" at 10:00 and 2:00? It looks like them in the photos. That looks like a 1960's aftermarket adapter bellhousing.
Read the tag on the PTO. That almost looks like and overdrive thats missing some of the PTO adapter on the back. Rare combination if thats what it is.
Looks like a nice project Jeep!
