Re: 1942 GPW 25212
No, No ramp and I don't have a timeline. Thinking the move might be good. Had a bunch of rain and even though it's protected the open air humidity around here is killing it. And when i drop stuff it'll be easier to find

Re: 1942 GPW 25212
This morning I took apart my generator and was surprised to find an "F" marked armature.

Re: 1942 GPW 25212
Just curious, Is there a Part number and Month, year stamped on the armature ?

Re: 1942 GPW 25212
Only thing i see is "Ford" spelled out and "W-11." What is that, Nov, '42?

Re: 1942 GPW 25212
Not knowing about Ford marked parts, I would say that is a logical deduction. The Electric Auto-lite Company stamped their armatures with a Numerical month and a number year-Example- 11-42.

Back on all four wheels. Doing little odds and end jobs, even giving my daughter a crack at restoring the BO marker lights.

Re: 1942 GPW 25212
Fired her up today. It ran but not to well. Had some water creeping into my crank case so i removed the head and number 3 was looking pretty suspect...
Replaced my new head gasket with another new head gasket and it seemed to have done the trick. Just need to keep flushing all of the bad milky oil out. Also not idling properly so some more carb work is in order. Getting closer though

Re: 1942 GPW 25212
An update on the legal front... got the title! That has been a big question mark over this whole restoration and the original owner came through. Also while I was there I looked in the barn where the jeep once was and a tree fell on that section. Had it still been there it would've been crushed

Re: 1942 GPW 25212
Also doing a little work on the trailer. Or a little undoing... getting it ready for a casting, landing leg and lunette.
