M3A1 scout car, need parts

Post by m18tank » Sat Mar 10, 2018 3:18 pm

I am looking for a Hercules JXD motor, transfer case and transmission. Let me know if you have these or any other parts for the scout car.

I may have one for you. It was a spare that came with the SC I restored. I'll have to go and see we still have it at the shop. If still there, I'd like to get $150 plus S&H for it. I'll let take pictures and let you know within the next few days.

Sorry, I should've added that it's a spare transmission.

Thanks, can any experts out there tell me why this won’t work in a scout car?

Depends on what you mean by "wont work". The block, head, water pump, etc should be fine. All the other bits like starter, intake, exhaust, carb, bell housing, flywheel, etc are very different. Just depends on what you need for your project. If you have nothing right now you may want to pass on this one as it needs some super hard to find parts to be used in a SC. If you have a core engine already this could be useful.

It might cost 3k to rebuild a JXD if you don't do any of the work yourself.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. That's not my Hercules engine listed on eBay however.

The engine was for a museum, 13k for an engine is rediculous that’s why it is a full rebuilt engine plus M8 armored car parts.

If anyone would like to know more about the deal please let me know, but yes 13k is way to much for a fully restored engine.
