That would be cool.

While you're searching, keep an eye out for something I could use an L3E 23 hp. 3 cylinder diesel engine in

Way cool. My dad had 1 same year, little better condition. Coarse that was many moons ago.

He gave me his 43 Willys mb flat fender. Wonderful to work on. Everything is easy to reach, and simplistic.

What are the two smaller floor shifters for?

Transfer case

2wd-4wd
High- neutral-low range

I'll post pics of a spare trans/transfer set I have in a bit so you can see.

Not quite what I'm looking for. LOL

How about a mini hoe?

 

[treegump]

Oh, well, now I know what I'm looking for, haha.

Here's the trans & transfer case

Thanks Will L. So you can have 4 high, 4 lo ,2 high, 2 lo.

 

[Will L.]

Yep. A lot of people don't get it. 2 Low is great for tight maneuvering areas, long tow in good traction near max weight, etc. the old jeeps were amazing at things like tree snapping or uprooting and pushing over compared to other rigs. This is why.

The dana 300 transfer case was/is highly sought after by rock crawlers for this reason.
