I've never gotten over my fear of working on a carburetor. It seems straight forward enough but the adjustments needed to get the mixture right gets in my head.

What a great team you guys make! Glad to see there are some younger people interested in saving part of car history!

Just a tip for holding a bolt in your socket … put a bit of rag or paper towel around it and put in the socket holds great🤠👍

One of my favourite Willys, buddy had one in the late '70's and there were many adventures, pretty easy to work on and back then parts were still cheap, loved them and the old Power Wagons, fun vid folks, thanks for sharing!

Hey guys, wonderful seeing a bunch of young'uns tearing in to my favorite ride. Not to criticize any, but it's not a panel wagon, it's a Willy's Utility Wagon. First, it has glass in the sides, and 2nd, it's 4X4. If it was 2WD it would be simply a station wagon. Also, despite what the title says, double check a Willy's VIN registry and see if you can find a build date. Alot of these wagons would sit on a sales lot in to a new year and get THAT year on the title. Seeing a small block Ford was no surprise either. Usually it'd be that or a Chevy. My '60 had a 327 out of a '68 Camero. If the gearing had been different I swear it would have out run my '69 Corvette!! Some 35 yrs later, I have a more finished '59 Utilities Wagon. I noticed some question about parting out or not. For all your trouble, I'd say it's got more value as a running, driving wagon. Rust & all! And no self respecting Wagon that survived the '70's with its Ooga horn ought to suffer such an ignoble fate. All these years later, it isn't the Vette I missed! It was my 'ol buddy the Willys. Value? Running... maybe $5K and up. The more you fix it up, the better it's value. It's shocking, actually how things have gone up, what used to be fairly pedestrian and seen more often. Even in the Pacific Northwest you don't see 'em much. Great to see this video! Keep it alive!! 👍

You're Good as Professional that been doing it seance the 70S. Good job Guys!

Reminds me of my first Willy's wagon. I traded a 1950 Dodge pu for it in 1978, I was 27 years old and thought I'd hit the jackpot. On my 5th engine (sbc) converted to a Muncie 4 speed in 82, It's still the jewel of my fleet. Hope you have as much fun with yours as I've had with mine. It's been as far south as Ensinada Mexico, North into British Columbia, East to Dallas - Fort Worth and now lives in Northern California.

Fantastic! I loved that shot of you driving and looking down at the non-existent floor haha! Great job.

We would have done more before pulling the transmission, but when we replaced the starter, we realized the bellhousing was full of sand so we wanted to take it apart anyway.

Excellent job. I hope there will be continuity until the vehicle improves!!

@PlateauFarms

Ай бұрын

Yes there will be more on the jeep. We have some decisions to make regarding the drivetrain, however, as whoever swapped the engine used an adapter casting of unknown origin which allows for only two bolts to hold the transmission to the bellhousing. A such I don't want to start dumping money into it until that problem is solved.

The frame and Drivetrain are in decent shape, it's really just the body that has suffered so much deterioration.

Thank you for using a tripod. So many car repair channels are unwatchable due to nauseating handheld shots. It's rare I fine one that I can sit through for more than a few minutes. Thanks for sharing!

That is a cool body style. It sets cool. Clean it up and restore it. I sure would.

Was going to comment that at the end you should have pressure washed it then sprayed it with some old oil to keep it from rusting more. But then decided that the rust is probably the only thing holding it together. hahaha Cool old wagon.

Great job Lads,,,,,, ready for next project,,,,,,,🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Would be great if you guys could, restore the old girl! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I am SHOCKED, absolutely SHOCKED! You guys got the farm shop cleared out enough to actually get the Willies in under cover. AMAZING! :) It hasn't been that cleared out in ....... ummmm..... probably 40 years. Well, enough of that, I do have a couple of questions; what is the little burst of flame seen at 8:50 to 8:56 just above the right headlight? What did you use for the clutch plate alignment pin at 35:22? A 38:00 it looks as though there is a crack across the bottom of the flange that mates to the bell housing, is that correct? When are you going to tackle the Road Grader?.........Reminds me a lot of the resurrection of the Put Put. :) Hey, you could name it Put-Put II.

@PlateauFarms

Ай бұрын

Clearing the shop has been a slow but rewarding process. The burst of flame is a backfire from the Carb which started a small fire on top of the engine. We used a plastic alignment tool that came with some past clutch job, although the pilot pin had to be turned down, the splines matched being a somewhat standard 10 spline by 1 1/8" shaft. That crack is the result of what the person who swapped the engine did to adapt the bellhousing to that intermediate casting flange. They brazed on a steel plate to the cast housing. It is not structural at all, unfortunately, meaning that only the top two bolts are holding things together. This is the greatest mental impedance for us when considering where to continue the project form here. As for the road grader, we recently got a 40ton porta power pancake jack to remove the wheel hubs so we can extract the final drive chain. Hopefully. we will film the Put-Put's second revival for KZread before too long as well. Thanks for Watching.

@@PlateauFarms Thanks for the reply! Good to hear that the grader is on the list of revivals. :) It's always an "interesting" experience finding what others have done to a piece of machinery in order to repair or "upgrade"n it. You mght be able to beef up that braze then turn the steel plate flush with the face of the trany and have a workable solution to the bell-housing/trany mismatch.

Very good boys

Hello, good video, what engine does it have, is it the original, here in Argentina they were also manufactured, but with a 6-cylinder in-line engine, I think the engine was called continental, greetings

Такой аппарат вообще есть смысл восстановить до идеала!

Aqui no Brasil tivemos esse modelo. Era chamado "Rural Willys" e a versão pickup era chamada F75.

Afford Explorer, afford explorer body or affordable injection from the 90s on here. For afraid for this. Take the cuts off that Ford Ranger ranger or forward expedition. They shouldn't, and didn't there any seats Abby? Go look at all running. You go to paint fog lights and a push for LA days.
