I have one that I bought without seeing it first from a member here and while it looks identical to the others in every other way it doesn't have hand holds, just two approximately 1" holes in their place. Mine is on the garage floor right now, but this photo from an eWillys ad is exactly what mine looks like. Another Willys optional equipment variation? I'm curious.

Tim, I know the forward control jeep has an optional weight. It's used to counterweight the vehicle itself. Someone with an FC can help me out but my guess is yours is from an FC.

I found one photo online of an FC counter weight and it appeared to be a different animal all together, being mounted in the rear and all. I would imagine this is from a foundry that received some of the filler contracts from Willys. Everything is the same except for the holes in lieu of hand holds.

Does it weigh 265 lbs or is it a little different from being cast different?

It's all that and maybe a little more given the fact that the hand holds aren't there. It took my son and I to remove it from the truck bed back when I brought it home.

The FC ones are different.
I looked into getting these cast here on campus a few years ago and was told it was too big for their capabilities. I'd say aluminum would be a good choice or abs plastic or something similar. |

Old topic i know but if people really wanted them cast in aluminum i can get a quote and make some if there is enough interest. I would need either a good cad drawing or an original to make the pattern.

Hi Sir, thanks a lot for your mail.
I was thinking make a front bumper in wood. I live in Argentina and don´t see too much sense, move an aluminum front bumper from the USA. For that reason, I was looking some drawings with dimensions. Cheers and tks

A Fake weight?......now this is going too far .
Saying that, my one is still under the bench, too heavy to put on and as yet I have not acquired any rear implements.....still shopping. |
