The Official "What The Heck Is This?" Thread

Thanks - my hood also has the snorkel hole, gives it character!!

 

The snorkel cutout ended early in the '66 model year. Cary, I believe you have a '66 without the cutout?

PTO Sproket? What am I missing?

 

Maybe a pto chain drive to run a hydraulic pump or similiar?

chain drive for a mower system or for a portable sawmill, maybe?

 

In some examples, sprockets are used as couplers, one on the PTO, and another on a driven shaft. A short piece of duplex chain couples the two sprockets together. This is likely not the case in your photo because of the nut retaining the sprocket, but I had a flat-fender for parts many years ago that had two sprockets coupled together on a PTO.

Brackets in the back of a 56 cj6. On both sides of the back of the bed. Are these rear sear brackets or something home made? Thanks. Paul

What is the purpose of this hole (the one with the crack)? The hole is in the vertical panel behind the driver's seat, toward the center of the tub. This is on a '68 tub. I don't think the PO made it because the holes he did make were rough-cut with a torch.

 

I'm not sure of the purpose, but my unmolested 68 tub has a 1 3/4" hole there with a metal plug in it...the slightly domed type with the little spring loaded fingers on the back to hold it in. Typical sheet metal or firewall plug.

 

Here's a zoomed out view.
