    My ShoT : A Valve lapping tool ?


    On second Look.......They used a very, very similar design on an Electrical screwdriver.
    Yours wasn't designed for that work, though. :shock:

    Any ideas what this bracket is for? It is located on the out side of the middle of the frame. I thought it was factory, so cleaned it up, but then noticed it's mounted crooked.
    Also, what's the deal with all the holes in this same area?

    It looks like the pedal end anchor for the 70/71 style clutch cable. On Jeeps that came with it from the factory, the anchor was welded to the frame. There was a dealer installed retrofit kit to put the cable style clutch into older Jeeps for customers complaining of clutch chatter. Others on the forum who were around at the time say many were installed. That kit was a bolt-in and it looks like that's what you have. Given the general quality of Jeep manufacturing and the fact it was dealer installed, it's not surprising it's a little crooked.

    For reference, here's the welded in one on my '71:

    Thank you for the picture. I do see a cable in one of the many baskets. So, the cable goes over the frame to the clutch fork?
    It looks like this might be a 69 frame under my 66 CJ5.
    Sorry, but I'll hold off selling anything until it's all back together.

    Hi Ernie,
    Can you find any serial # 's on the top of the frame? Specific possible locations can be re / searched here.

    I looked at both the front and rear sections of the frame where the number is supposed to be and nothing. I did find these numbers on the side of the frame:

    These seats were loose in the back of a 62 that I bought. I think they are probably out of a bus and the small one maybe a boat. Big ones are about 26" wide. Just wanted to make sure they weren't a Jeep thing before I trash them.
    The metal thing was also loose in the back. Looks like something that would attach to a pedal? The plate thing at the bottom pivots on the shaft. That's the only picture I have on hand now.

    I would guess that the seats are from a Willys wagon. I was thinking the metal thing was the mount for the power brake booster - maybe early Bronco?

    Yes, the little seat is the front passenger seat. It folds, then tilts forward for access to the rear seats.

    [​IMG]

    The large seat without back legs is the driver seat

    The large seat with the rear pegs fit into slots in the rear for a back seat.

    There should also be another small seat with pegs that fit beside it for the rear.

    Lastly there was an optional fifth seat the mounted on the driver side rear some call it the Mother-In-Law seat

    Great info, thanks! I will have to look at them again when I get home. Hopefully I can find someone who can use them.

    Looking for some guidance on these "hubs" that I found in an ammo can that came with my jeep: 10 spline, no stampings or markings. looks like the caps had "stickers" as some point but all that is left is the epoxy they were stuck with. They spin free right now. I don't see any way to lock them. only thing is a fat flat blade screwdriver port on the side that has an IN and OUT indicator with a dot.
    My Jeep currently has Dualmatic locking hubs on the front and the standard D44 wheel hubs on the rear.

    Think they could possibly be the opposite of a locking hub??? Install in place of drive flanges to allow the front wheels to freewheel???

    Thanks for the help identifying what I have here.

    Mr Vaughan

    either freewheeling hubs (which warn made early on) or some kind of lockout.
    my guess is freewheeling

    is this steering stabilizer stock? i saw that kaiserwillys had one, but it was different and they made no mention of a stock one. my mount looks a bit janky too, so likely custom?

    You can see some flats where the rollers are like they are an automatic locking hub of some sort. Like the old Warn Lock-O-Matics.
