MB 247676
Having been through an overhaul in 2010 this Willys MB is running better than it has ever done in the 13 years I have owned it. The engine is not the original as that developed a crack in the block. The current engine came out of a Jimmy wireless truck and had only run 30 hours in its entire life. When restoring the jeep I found two marks under the windscreen, one was the logo of the Indian motorcycle company and the other was a union flag roundel. Any ideas? Any advice on getting the capstan back in working order would be greatly appreciated.
