UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
This might work for someone.
“L134 Engine block, it was running when I took it out of the jeep about 6 moths ago. The guy I bought the jeep off of said he had the engine rebuilt about 10 years ago and just used it for plowing, so the jeep sat alot. The engine is free and will turn by hand, not seized. The number on the Engine bossbehind the water pump is either MJ2915 or MT2915. I really can’t make it out. On the head there is a stamp that says 6-48. Im not sure how old the engine is but is definetly not a Willys MB motor. Most likely out of a CJ2A or CJ3A. I took the valve cover off and it is pretty clean inside. I did not take off the head. There is no cracks or breaks in the block. It is in pretty good shape. I cracked the plastic timing gear trying to remove the engine plate. Other than the attachements on the motor, everything internal is complete and has not been touched”

Hubert’s Must-See Jeep Family Site
February 10, 2011 • CATEGORIES: Artists/Drawings, Features, Website This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
Craig dropped me a note today about an old friend of his.
Craig writes, “I was doing a little web surfing and found an old lost friend, Hubert Cossard. I had been in contact with Hubert some 9 years ago about some awesome drawings he had made of Forward Control Jeeps. There were definite communication barriers back then as I am a little behind on foreign languages (even known to destroy my own language a bit!) [ed note: you aren’t alone!] but was in total awe of Hubert’s detailed drawings. Like many internet sites, there one day and gone the next, Hubert’s site disappeared.
Though I lost contact with Hubert years ago, by accident I just found his new, greatly expanded site. On the Jeep Family link there are drawings of just about every Jeep ever built or thought of. It’s a gotta-check-out-site!”
One quick trip to the site and I can only second Craigs description of the drawings. I couldn’t say for sure if they are scale-exact drawings, but they sure have the detail of someone who knows their jeeps. The site is in French, so if you need to translate anything, you might try Google Translate.
Here is an example of Hubert’s work below. Check out all of them here.
Devon’s Power Steering Setup
Greg asked for a few pics of the Steering combination on the Eller’s Jeeps, so Randy climbed under Devon’s Jeep to snap a few for us. Thanks Randy!
Here is Randy’s description, ”
I took a few pictures of the Saginaw steering setup in Devon’s MB but they were mostly taken from below because of his winch plate covering the top. It is a little unclear just how it all works without the top view.
Dusty will be bringing his CJ2A back up here in a few weeks and I think it will be easier to get good pictures from his Jeep. It still has the stock column in it which is what Greg is interested in. I might have a spare steering box mount to take pictures of as well.
Picture 1 was taken from the driver’s side tire. The frame was plated on the inside with ½ inch steel and protrudes an inch or so below the frame rail. The outside plate is 3/8 and is what the spring mounts are also welded onto (the Scout II axles require outboard spring mounts). 3 of the 4 steering box mount bolt heads are visible; the 4th bolt was welded inside the frame rail because I wasn’t certain if it would interfere with the spring mount if it passed all of the way through. The 2 bottom bolts from the steering box mount to the steering box are also visible; the 3rd bolt is visible in picture 005 on the top-front of the steering box.
Picture 2 shows how the steering box mount lowers the steering gear and in conjunction with the drop pitman arm almost eliminates bump steer even though this Jeep has probably 7 or 8 inches of lift.
The long bolt that protrudes down through the frame rail is one of the winch plate bolts and the other one you can see in Picture 3 ties the bumper and spring mount together. It is a pretty sturdy assembly with the plated frame rails, spring mounts, steering box mount, winch plate and bumper all tied together. The frame horns had to be cut off to plate the frame rails; the passenger side frame rail was also plated inside and out. This mount allows the steering arm to pass underneath the stock round crossmember and it works well with aftermarket motor mounts.”
