This runs, but the closeup pics show this is rougher than it first appears.
“This 1951Willis is a running project. Just installed 4 new plugs yesterday-could still useplugs wires, dist. cap but parts house did not have in stock. They also did nothave a brake master cylinder and they were showing 2 different ones and bothwould have to be special ordered-so I am going to sell it like it is. We did aYouTube video of it and adjusted the clutch yesterday. Gas tank was removed-cleanedand sealed and soldered up some leaks. It also has an electric fuel pump.Starter just rebuilt and electrical system has been changed to 12 volt. Originallyit had a pedal on the floor to engage the starter but it’s gone and now has arod hooked to it to engage and disengage
I got this from a friend of mines wife after he passed away earlier this year. They usedit on their hunting land-but has been sitting for a few years and he owned itfor many years. It is not a rust bucketbut it does have some on the step braces. See pictures. Floors are very solid.I bought this with intention of using it as my 4 wheeler but have since gottenme one. I paid her $1,500 cash-and have spent apx $500 in used tires and rims, usedseats, fuel pump, paint, gas tank repairs, plugs and other assorted odd andends. My reserve is 1,800 and a buy me price of $2,200 to recover my money andsome of my time.
Alabama doesnot have title on anything of this age but I do have an open bill of sale and atag receipt where it was last registered in 2004.
He hadpainted it yellow and we repainted it with spray rustolium yellow paint andblack rustolium. The seats are just sitting in there and will need somemodification before it safely be used, (Do not know what happened to originalseats). I also have other seats you could use if you don’t like these. The right rear shock mount where is was welded to the axal is going to need rewelded.
Uncertian of the milage on this as it’s excempt when registerng here.
The 4 wheeldrive system works and hubs lock in and out easy. The windshield is flat glassand has a crack in it-I folded it down and installed a piece of foam rubberwhere it lies on the hood. Has a tow hitch on it and will hook up to a 2” ball.Tires are pretty good so you should be able to tow it to your place-or if youneed me to deliver I will do for $1.00 per mile but do not want to go over 200miles. I will be going to N/East Tennessee in about 2 weeks and have a way to deliver.
I forgot to get some pictures of the motor I will do that soon and add them. If you need any other pictures let me know. Thanks Pat
