Lawnmower Engines in M-38A1s

• CATEGORIES: Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

John spotted this article on some unusual engine installations! Lawnmower engines in M-38A1s. Were these jeeps at the Great Willys Picnic?

https://jalopnik.com/this-wrenching-genius-installed-lawnmower-engines-into-1835417201

Here’s one example:

lawn-mower-engine-jalopnik

FROM THE ARTICLE ON JALOPNIK: The [lawnmower] engine has been mounted onto some sort of platform, which is mounted to the frame. The 670cc unit sends power from its output shaft via two belts to an intermediate jackshaft, which then transfers power via two other belts to pulleys on the input shaft of the original T-90 three-speed manual transmission.

Maybe someone can use these.

  1. Military Cab Heater $150:
    “For sale is a Hunter Manufacturing 20K BTU Military Cab heater. It came equipped on a restored M38 I recently purchased, and I don’t really need heat in a topless Jeep. Working and in like NOS condition. Uses engine coolant to produce heat, electrical to run the blower fan – 2 speeds Hi/Low. Includes the switch, resistor and a small Douglas connector wiring harness. These were commonly used on M151 MUTTs but can also be used for 5 Tons, M37s, M38s, M38A1… anything with a 24V system.”
    heater-readstown
  2. Radio VRT 524A $200:
    “Vintage RT 524A VRC US military transceiver radio. Removed from a restored Military Jeep I just purchased. Also includes the mounting plate and rubber vibration isolators.

    Vietnam era, typically found in M38A1, M151 Mutts, and various military trucks.

    Its 60+ years old, and looks to be in working order – I have no way to test it. Obviously sold as is. This radio measures 15″ x 6 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ in size. Weighs in at 70lbs. Be great prop for a military restoration.”
