RobertN & Scruffy,
Thanks for the tips and info. Found out the gas tank is over
half full. Stale, bad gas. It does have a drain plug, so I plan
to try to drain it Sat. Brake master cyl. full of something
besides brake fluid. No idea what it is. Smells and looks like
water and GASOLINE? Due to early carb problems, I now
have alot of gas in oil pan. Plan to drain it Sat. also.
Rebuilding front brakes now. Found the lock out hubs have
been gutted. And, brake adjusters missing. I expected this
sort of thing, so not dissapointed. No, it was not listed for sale
anywhere. A friend of a friend told me about it when I said I
was looking for a jeep. I called the guy, and he said he had
planned to restore it and never got around to it. Parked it in a
field behind his house and been there ever since. Said it ran
good when parked. Of course it would not start when I got
there. He was asking $1,500.00. But came down to $1,000.00
when it would not start. She is green, silver, red, and RUST
colored. Does have 3-4 yr. old custom wheels and new tires.
Figure they are worth almost what I paid for her. I have not
had a hobby since I started my company. Nor a vacation.
(seven yrs.) Looking forward to fixing her up, and having
a little time off. Been working 7 days a week. Got my eye on
a willys pickup also. And a postal jeep. A friend bought a
postal jeep a few yrs. ago and put new bucket seats in front,
big knobby rear tires, and a winch, and has a neat little jeep
for play. 2 wheel drive, but goes almost anywhere with the
big rear tires. Rick
