    I'd suggest pulling the head off. It just takes a couple bolts being a Flathead and it'll give you a lot better idea of what shape the motor is in. Also someone has squared off the back of that willys. The tub would have been rounded originally. Can't wait to see the progress.

    Buddy my son has a Willis Jeep truck about the same year as yours he hasn’t touched it since he brought it home on a trailer over a year ago. He got it in a trade so no money in it so no hurry. Great video I love your style. You are a doppelgänger to my best friend same since of humor and speach I really enjoy your videos

    Hey! It's got a one wire alternator! Replace the motor, that one's shot. Plan on lots of cash. Way more than it's worth but great project. Do the mini bike build first, lot cheaper and your young'uns can enjoy it while they are still young. The piece that was in the radiator was the water temp sensor. Back in the day if you needed a shade tree way of using one of those you would slip it in the radiator hose and slide the hose back on. Once the hose was on you would tighten the clamp up around the thin part just underneath. That one probably broke off and stayed in the system.

    Square nuts are often used in Course threads. NC threads. The round heads have squares under and lock into square holes or wood. USE the Blower to clear out the plug holes. Fill the plug holes with top oil and it might start working to free pistons.

    So I see you have a project Willy's 1953 ? when that thing was new I bet it was a beast in the dirt! I bought my son a 64 C-10 Chevy truck half ton it runs but needs a frame off restoration to be a super nice truck, good luck and don't bust any knuckles on it.

  • @RandolphRelicRecovery

    It would be awesome if you get that motor running. That is the original "go devil" motor. They were really reliable and were tougher than nails.

  • @randyscott954

  • @kirbyyork118
    @kirbyyork118 5 лет назад

    Yayyy...another Willy's project. Odd that you pressure washed the engine with the plug holes wide open. Suggest power washing the whole thing, inside & out, front to back, top & bottom...THEN assess the situation and establish priorities....probably engine worthiness first. It would be great to get that original running sweetly again, but might take a pro mechanic...sorry, nothing personal. IF that's a go, get it removed to be worked on. That clears the way to clean out/repair that engine compartment. That water running into it will be a problem, but that's a body issue. Thanks for bringing on another project. How come you didn't have the Willys truck towing the Jeep? You didn't sell it, did you?

    Have u ever tried pb blaster in the spark plug holes I had a ford bronco that was locked up from setting for 10 years and I soaked every plug hole with pb blaster and let it sit for 2 days and it broke free. With rocking it back and fourth in first gear

  • @dougstuff2684
    @dougstuff2684 5 лет назад

    Should’ve kept and finished the Willy truck with a nice oak flatbed instead of the hydraulic lift bed. This new old one is roach. IMO not worth the massive amount of time and money required to get this finished even to a basic running level. But good luck and look forward to future episodes working on this.

    I"m officially old in years, so forgive me for my rant,EA.. I'll apologize in advance. I apologize. I know you did what you felt was right. I'd loathe to tell you what to do...But. You were so close! Who in their right mind would want to ride in a open cab vehicle? It's dusty on dirt roads and you could end up with a bug between your two front teeth. The truck. The engine ran. The difficulty in holding a charge was probably a need to clean every electrical ground. Bolt the dump bed to the frame, or remove it entirely. A stake bed made with local lumber. All the winch driveline needed was a trip to a machine shop for straightening. Bucket seats bought at the salvage yard on 50% off days. Bolted in with unistrut. The windows rolled up! It's a snowy Christmas eve in Alabama, and the EA clan is toodling through town with brightly wrapped presents stacked in the bed of.... Redford Fore.... Nah. Bad choice It' like reading Pygmalion and getting half way through it and never being able to find out what happens.Sob. I hope it got a good home. Maybe you sold it to the Bearded One? This rant is truly half in jest. Sorry. P.S. you can run me off. I'd understand.

    Vacuum all the water out of spark plug holes if you can I would fill it up to the top with p b blaster Marvel's mystery works good but the PV plaster helps to break the rust down in the cylinder try rocking the crank back and forth PB Blaster takes maybe 2 or 3 days for it to break down rust good luck Don't Force It work it slow if you force it you will break a ring and you won't have a chance of starting it
