The Official "What The Heck Is This?" Thread

So does my 66 Tux. Could it have been for a pto control rod?

 

See previous post (#600).

 

There should be a metal snap-in cap plug sealing the hole on civillian Jeeps. Yes, its a carryover from the A-1 military as PeteL stated.

What does this skid plate go to

 

That skid plate bolts to the bottom of your transmission crossmember. Four carraige bolts through the four square holes - the front bends up towards engine oil pan.

 

Anyone ever seen two switches on a T-14 top cover?

 

Yes.

One is for backup lights, one is for transmission controlled spark (TCS). TCS is described in the TSM. The TCS switch should have a single terminal, and be grounded in top gear.

Thanks!!!

 

Just a guess, but maybe a Willys truck or wagon? Some of these longer wheelbase vehicles didn't have a cutout for the front driveshaft.

So I got scrap metal

 

I am working on a m38a1 gauge cluster wiring. Speedometer has what looks to be a wiring "post" above the speedo-cable. What's the purpose of that post?

 

Mounts the "four-way spider" that fed wires to the other minor instruments.

 

may be the internal light? IDK

PeteL has it.

 

Thanks!

 

Send it to me...

 

I picked up a 64 CJ5 to restore, and it came with these brackets mounted to the back of it, I have no clue what they are? Anyone have any idea what they might be? Thanks

 

I've never seen ones quite like that but I'm sure it was for spare tire carrier of some kind.

 

Yeah I was kinda thinking that too, but couldn’t find anything to confirm it.
