Rare Koenig R100J Winch **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** on eBay for $455. There’s a discussion about it on the CJ-3A Page.

“Koenig Model R100J Forward/Reverse PTO Winch. It mounts directly to a CJ2A, CJ3A or CJ3B, with the integral mounting bracket. PTO is off of the crankshaft pulley. This winch is off of my 1949 CJ3A and is very unique and rare; in fact I have never seen another one with this type PTO. This may be just what you need to make your restoration a one of a kind. It is in excellent working condition with the exception of a broken ear on the engagement lever and that part is available on the internet.

Included are the winch with integral mounting bracket, engine bracket assembly for PTO and lube block. The winch is complete and works but the PTO is missing the parts noted below. The missing parts will have to be machined. There is a company who reproduces a similar sliding clutch assembly for Land Rovers that may adapt. Note – The pictured engine IS NOT included and was used to illustrate the mounting of the engine PTO bracket only.

Not included:
Sliding clutch assy. (coupling winch to crankshaft nut)
Roller Fairlead
Cab Control lever assy.
Roller Chain (between sprockets on winch and PTO bracket)
Please contact me if you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them.”

Flatfender Quilting Cloth

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

Ann’s been in a quilting mood lately. And, when she gets in a mood, she gets productive. She’s sewn together around 10 quilts of different types in the past couple of months. Recently, she started looking for flat fender fabric (who could that quilt be for?), however all she has found is “Tugger” patterns.

Anyone ever run across flat fender quilting cloth?

Here’s the Tugger swatches. Ann found this one of a flying Tugger:

Bill Dedo contacted me yesterday. He’s hoping to track down a 1949 CJ-3A of his that his mother sold years ago. He has learned it might be a restoration project in Alta, California. If you happened to have any leads, add a comment to this post.

Here are some photos:

1960 FC-170 Owners Manual **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Books, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: The winner is Anonymous at $200. Thanks for the unexpected response everyone and a special thanks to Steve Vogelzang for making it happen!

Steve sent me this original 1960 FC-170 manual in the hopes its sale would raise a little money for eWillys. One of the unique things about this brochure is that it appears to have been in a Chevrolet engineering library. There was one of these available on eBay for $45, but that one is now gone. I’ll start the bidding at $30.

Bob Christy is selling this rare set of New Old Stock Cutlas hubs. They are 19 spline.

“This is a set of NOS, New Old Stock lockout hubs made by Cutlas Gear and Manufacturing in Vinton, Iowa. These are 19 Spline, which I believe will fit Jeep j100/j200 trucks with a Dana 44 front end, but please be sure they will fit your application.
