are those original tires?

[shadowdog500]

I doubt that they are original, but they were on it when I bought the jeep.

noooooooo please dont do that to the starter!!!!

i have the same jeep but with out the plaw, and i was wondering if yours has a blue light on the dash up and to the right of all the dials??? and if so what is it four.

[shadowdog500]

What am I doing to the starter that you dont like? 

no blue light.

[singful]

it is bad to run the starter that long it should start up much quicker

[shadowdog500]

I cranked the starter for 7 seconds, that is well within any guidelines that I have ever seen on cranking a starter. The minimum time I have ever seen given was 10 seconds. If this thing sits for a monthit takes at lest that long to pump the fuel into the bowl. How long do you crank your starter?

@shadowdog500 Geeez, Ive used my starter to move my jeep out of the garage when I was doing my frame off. didn't hurt anything

My Uncle was a '52 CJ3A & a '53 CJ3B. I'm about 10 miles from the '53 and it needs some TLC. We got it started the other day but i'm "in charge" of keeping it running and looking good. I'm enjoying myself!

just bought one a 53 high hood, the guy I bought it from found it in a barn, took it a part and lost intrest, sold it to me, now to go thru all the boxes and sort out the parts and peices, oh and it came with an PTO take off from the transfercase, its going to be a project fer sure

Oh, a word of advice from the voice of painful experience: Keep an eye on the screws that hold your choke and throttle butterflies on the shafts. I had one on the M151A1 come loose from the choke butterfly, and it got sucked into the no.2 cylinder. After removing the head, I ground the edges of the dent in the piston face, and it ran fine when I put it back together. Didn't damage the head at all. That's one of those things that I hope I never have to deal with again. Hope you don't either.

Absolutely beautiful!! They just don't build them like that anymore. Even my '95 YJ, which I work on myself, is much more complicated and harder to work on than the old Willys. Sure, it's reliable and rugged, but it lacks the cool old feel of the classics. When I was stationed at Point Mugu, CA we had a 1966 Kaiser M151A1. Army "Jeep" that I maintained and drove around on base working on radars and radios. It was a pleasure working on an old Jeep like that. I miss it. Great video!!
