Greetings all

[TH49Willys]

Im in the midst of acquiring a 49 CJ3A. I'm new to the Jeep World but know how valuable these web forums and contributions to them can be.
Hoping to get it started this week. "no Spark" . Have coil, points , condenser and plugs on the way...will need to go through the fuel system obviously. Its been sitting in a storage container for about 15 years. Body and frame are actually solid apart from the layers of paint and surface rust. Love the front "lift kit". The plan is to go through the major components first. Engine ,drive line, brakes and steering....then some new upholstery and just drive it, leaving the paint and body as is. It will be outside under a cover most of the time. It has a PTO also!

I love the simplicity of working on these vehicles.

One thing i cant solve is the presence of a hand lever for the starter. This jeep has a T handle jut to the right of the center of the dash. You push it in and it engages the starter as the foot pedal would also. In my searches i havent seen one with this "option" yet. Last picture on the right hand side.
