CJ-2A ENGINE ID Help U51084

Post by Brad Gates » Fri Nov 17, 2017 6:27 am

Guys,
Recently acquired a "barn find" 2A with an L-4 that was parked with the hood up. Birds, mice and other critters made it their home. Engine is locked, rusted and beyond a costly fix. I found that the L-4 engine has an intake/carb like the early wagon or jeepster. Any help as to this engine application is appreciated. Very faint stamping............. U 51084
Thanks,
Brad

"U" engines were in Wagons. I believe U stands for Utility.

THANKS,

Does this number fall into an early, mid or late production range? Just curious. No plans to rebuild the engine as I have better donor engines.
Appreciate the response.

This certainly is not an end all reference but if the 6 came out in 48 it would indicate 46 or 47 year.

oops I didn't put the wiki link up.

I'd say 1947 but I'm not positive. Hopefully Sean Collins sees this thread, he would know for sure.

Sorry guys, though this thread had been fully resolved.

"U" prefix engines were used in model 4-63 vehicles (Station wagons, Panel Delivery, etc).

1948 4-63 serial numbers went from 44051 to 84825, so U-51084 is '48
