My first vehicle was an almost identical Jeep but 1951. Lots of fun in the sixties when I was a teen. Congrats. A very worthwhile project. I look forward to the actual development and the final product.

[@davidring2438]

Glad to see farming runs in the family and I wish more of the younger generation understood how important farming is to our nation anyway Happy Father's Day and looking forward to the Jeep

[@OdySlim]

In 1974, I was 14 and I was thought to drive in a 1943 Willys Jeep. Just like yours. Non synchronized tranny. To you young guys, that means I also had to learn to double clutch. I had nothing but time and wide open desert. It was one of the best times in life. Regards Ody Slim

[@antonioangeles1898]

I Admire our Dad having our barn too during the 1950. rice fields fruits and vegee plantation with hogs and chicken and a fish pond on the side of the fields. old tractors and a valve in head Willys jeep. Thanks guys, for this video to remember those great days of my dad and Mom.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Thanks Antonio! Welcome to the channel my friend...I appreciate your positive comment

[@robertlrosekranssr7409]

You are so very fortunate to still have your dad ! My Pop passed away when I was 39 and I miss him dearly ! Get every bit of knowledge you can get from your dad, and family history and memories from him as well ! Cherish all the time you can spend with him Josh !!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Thanks Robert..I surely will brotha

[@drick1280]

I used to have a 48 Farmall AV high clearance tractor, it is a great tractor. There are some good suppliers for new and used parts . My go to place for parts is STEINER TRACTOR PARTS. They have a great catalog and online they have videos covering all sorts of subjects. By the way my grandpa had a Willies that we kept at the family cabin in Grand Mesa , Colorado. We used it for hunting, fishing, exploring and for chores around the property. My grandpa said that Jeep could climb trees, and I believed it after some of the places we got into. I still believe it was one of the best off road vehicles ever made, due to the wheel base, clearance and gearing. Have fun with your projects. By the way a tip for moving vehicles in tight places and getting unstuck I use a high lift jack. You can lift a vehicle high into the air, placing the jack in a center position and just shoving it over off the jack moving it a foot at a time as you pivot back and forth front to back. Just be super careful. I have used it off road and actually moved my BF Avery tractor one time out of a tight spot, moving it completely sideways. Enjoy!

[@greenballs101]

You help me stay on track to accomplish my dream. keep doing what you are doing and know that you are helping veterans out there. This is my therapy.

[@Matthewseven13]

I owned a '51 Willy CJ, and a 57 Willys trusk, both were awesome vehicles. I also owned a Farmall Super A, but mine had a loader on it. I also owned a Super C and an H. The H was the real work horse on the farm, it did everything!

[@HunterRavenShow]

Great video, brings back memories when I once owned a 1950 Willy’s Jeep CJ3A. I was only 16 at the time. My Dad and I restored it from the bottom up. Thanks for posting this video.....Frank

[@70selvisfan]

The whole time you were airing those tires up, I was saying to myself “keep your head away from there” just in case one of them blew! LOL. I was raised on my grandpa’s farm and learned to drive on a ‘56 Willys jeep, so i’ve always had a soft spot for old Jeeps. Looking forward to the restore!

[@rexoliver7780]

Your jeep made me think of the military surplus one my Grandfather had and took us kids for rides in when I was little.

[@larrycutting4514]

I had a '46 Willys. It was a great jeep!! Used it for many years! Yours looks pretty good shape. Mine was rusted out in several places. Modified it slightly and used it the high mountains (between 9000' and 14,000') of Colorado. My sons grew up in it. My Father had another '46 that we used when I was growing up!

[@mattf49006]

my uncle had one of these up on a hobby farm he bought when he retired...all us cousins kids etc would take turns driving it around the orchard in low range first gear....you could get out..run up to the house get a root beer and run back and it'd be crawling along at about 1 mph by itself...loved it

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Yep...a cool machine for sure!

[@onassignment1]

Can't wait to see you restore this Jeep. It's a part of our American heritage and very much a part of your family 's history.

[@mgtow5336]

Was going to court my wife tonight, but this video spent me instead. I love history and bringing devices back to life. I rescued a RR Wraith from my late grandfather's garage.

[@petermavus4131]

That smile on your face tells it all Josh Old guys are set in their ways and ideas glad you are so patient with your Dad but looks like you gotta hand to him a man with a plan!

[@lucasxavier3564]

Growing up in Normandy, I still have found memories of the day they pulled out that old German truck from the barn down the road, been there since 1944, the German put it in the barn to hide from the allies hoping to open fire on them as soon as they would got in the open going on the farm, but the old farmer never surrendered his hunting gun after the invasion, after 4 years in the attic, it took out those Germans before they could do any arm to the allies moving in. After that the old truck just sat there until the mid 90’s under / behind hay, straw and what else needed being stored

Decoding Jeep CJ VIN Numbers on 1945 to 1968 Jeep CJ-2A, CJ-3A, and CJ-3B. 1945 to 1968 Jeep CJ VIN numbers are usually located in several possible locations. You should find a tin plate on the drivers side firewall and/or on the dash inside the Jeep.

[@theducklinghomesteadandgar6639]

I have always loved willys jeeps and other built for ruggedness!!! My family, my Dad had two different kinds of willys jeeps while I was growing up, I've always loved them!!!

[@kennethchappell4748]

I have a 1953 m38A1 military Jeep and love it and I glad to see the love you have for yours too. Good times for you ahead for sure. It's a Jeep thing you wouldn't be able to understand.....

[@sreekumarUSA]

Thanks buddy. I think, it’s your enthusiasm that’s driving the Jeep . Hello to Daddy.

[@blueridgebushcraft8294]

That’s the ultimate barn find. Those old flat fender willys are so cool.

[@boatdesigner12]

I miss my 47 cj2a, but miss my dad even more and all the projects we did together.

[@sjfarish]

I can remember back in the early 1970's you could buy those old Willys jeeps for 100 bucks it would come disassembled... I can't wait to see that Jeep going again I love those old Willys Jeeps...

[@lastniceguy1]

Your dad was mighty good to you, saving all that good heritage for ya.

[@craigschofield64]

Josh, I love the old Willy's project but... the real treasure is your ole pop's! I have never had the honor of meeting you or your dad but I would bet my last dollar that I am spot on in saying that your dad is the real treasure in this story. Men like him are getting harder and harder to find in today's world and if I was told that the world is crashing this afternoon I would be in line right behind you in following your dad and doing exactly what he told me to do! My dad always taught me to find the smartest man around when you need advice and help and to latch on to him and do exactly what he tells you to do...and for God sakes treat that man with respect and reverence because he earn it long ago! I pray you have many many more years with your dad, because we kids never have long enough to learn from them and unfortunately we never know the value of their knowledge until it is too late to learn it all. Please tell your pops happy father's day for me, I have learned a lot from him in your videos and I hope the lessons continue for decades more....I am a slow learner...😉

[@howardfortyfive9676]

I'm with Crazy Craig. Lost my Dad in 94. But I learned around 15-16yrs ago when *I needed good advice to ask the oldest man I knew.* That would have been *Dennis Killingstad originally from Darrington WA.* Retired logger Battalion chief diesel mechanic & former Navy UDT man. Dennis could fix ANYTHING and everything grumpy old Willard couldn't fix. Took me 2 lessons learned from Dennis. Thankfully *it took* w/lesson #2...

[@SCHNEKM483BK]

Doin' stuff with DAD! (Takes 10X longer, but it's all good).

[@camcordernonsense5264]

I'm sure my dad did stuff with me and I was the one who took 10x longer. Expected for the age swaps.

What a wonderful little Jeep, so much character already! I wish you could find stuff like this that has been sitting around for decades in the UK.

[@screamindemon811]

Watching you and Papa Stoney Ridge get the old jeep out of the barn was like watching a Hollywood thriller...I was like the post...watch out for the post...like you could hear me...lol but glad to see you guys got her out. ought to be fun restoration project. Cant wait to see the look on your dads face when it's all done

[@mitchellcarr6175]

You can order parts from yesterday tractors, Steiner tractor, and all States Ag parts. The last two listed, you can request a catalog or look/order online. All these places helped me when I was working on my 1964 and 1965 Cubs. I enjoy watching your videos, keep up the good work.

[@ronhart4166]

Fun little jeep to drive. Super SLOW on the road but you can not hardly stop it off road. I have an old customer of mine who uses one to check on his groves. Keeps it in great shape. Evidently there is a surplus of old NEW STOCK parts available for them. Have not seen the ole guy in years though. But I remember installing the military tires and such for him. It will be a fun project with a little research :)

[@lowcountryjeeper]

My grandfather has the exact same Jeep I. His garage. 1952 Willy’s flat fender. He bought as military surplus back in mid 60s. It’s been sitting in the garage since 1978. This was the last year of the inspection sticker. Looking forward to seeing the videos to come on this one.

[@Harleylovinchelley1]

I'm really glad to see you are saving that old girl.

[@NorthCountryOffgrid]

I’m excited to see this running around your farm!!

[@Jacksonransom]

That was satisfyingseeing the tires pump up. Can't wait to see the pressure wash before and after.

[@bryduhbikeguy]

Looking forward to watching the vids on this.I learned to drive in an original '52 myself.A tank on tires.

[@howardfortyfive9676]

FWIW I learned how to drive to a store in a *1954 Buick coupe.* I was about 15 at the time. Around 1967. It was about 2miles there and back.

[@patrickcannell2258]

Me also in a 1946 CJ2 with a 4 cyl side valve engine.

[@medicineman1948]

That is the exact jeep I learned to drive when I was 11 years old. Drove it on the farm and never got out of second gear. Wore second gear until it would not stay in gear.

I used to run a farmall A in a quarter horse farm. Fun little tractor.

[@johnreinburg859]

Josh, this will be a great project! Not sure how Mrs. Stoney Ridge will feel about it. Nice camera work of your Dad and you working together to get the Jeep out on Father's Day! Keep up the great work!

[@RebelJew777]

Love that Jeep love Jeep altogether. Beautiful Jeep that deserves a full restore and a rebirth. It's one of my dream Jeeps. Got one of my other dream Jeeps not long ago, a Jeep Liberty Renegade. It's the best off road vehicle i ever owned, better than the Wrangler i owned. Love the old Jeeps the best though, like all the military ones from WW2 and so on. JEEP LIFE.

We just got it home yesterday...big day on the farm yesterday...4 new tractors and the jeep! Can't wait to get it running agian!!

[@andyevans9369]

Got a 47 CJ2A in the garage, (Wife's family rig from new.)She did a full frame off restoration as a long summer project.Whole family loves it. Absolute minimum upgrades, roll bar, no more split rims and bumped to 12 volt, same 4 banger. Runs great ! That's about it....really! We take into the Cascade mountains as often as we can. Show those V8 guys how to do it.."If your wheels are spinning, you ain't Jeepin'" Decided that her Mom and Dad would have it no other way. Am I a lucky Guy, or what?

I had a 1954 CJ3B Willys Jeep, overhead valve engine with the high bonnet/hood, which had the same agricultural towbar unit except mine also had a PTO (Genuine Willys) to power farm tools. Wheel nuts left hand thread on left side of jeep and right hand thread on right side. Needed a coin to change free wheeling hubs as they had 2 rotating slotted screws to align with dots. Oh and it was also right hand drive! Lol

in 1971, there was a man in KC Mo who had a willys jeep with a ditch digging attachment. i asked him if he made it, he said, NO. the govt had a lot of attachments for the jeep in WW2 and after the war, they were plentiful and cheap. what a great vehicle.

Willys made military jeeps, personal jeeps and jeeps with PTO for farming...pretty interesting company for sure!

On the steering gear box. It might be a slim chance but I have seen it happen. Check the top plate (might be on the side) there are 3-4 bolts that hold the plate on. Check and make sure they are all tight. One loose one can cause it to shimmy. Check the tie rod ends. I think that one has large straight slot "screw ins" to tighten and take out slop.

To determine why the wheel won't stay straight, One must get the front wheels off the ground and wiggle and shake every joint until you find one that seems really loose and you will have found the problem. Be sure to check the wheels from top to bottom...
