Firestone versus STA NDT Tires

hey Ryan,

the 3b came with the plow, as I was looking for a plow at the time. the frame was not reinforced, but the plow frame had heavy plates sandwiching the frame at the rear mounting points. the front lift section was just bolted to the top of the bumper and frame. The jeep had the old hi-low monarch plow lift with a two way valve for left and right mount towards the grill that worked great for many years, and to the day I sold it. I do not own the jeep anymore so I am going by memory here. several photos included that may help you see setup.

Thanks Gary,

That jeep is a lot better shape than my CJ3B. I took the kids with me when they were little to look at it and they got excited about it so I bought it. Worst deal I ever did - also didn't follow my own rules of "try to buy one that at least runs". Rolling Eyes

The 4 banger jeeps usually do very well with the Meyers 5' two way. I had on on my 3B for about 5 years before I sold the 3B and moved the plow to my CJ5.

This is the 3B I sold after removing the Meyers 2 way. No extra bracing was needed.

This is the CJ5 I moved the Meyers to getting fitted.

This is the chassis adapter box. The two verticle front arms bolt to the front frame rails just behind the bumper. The rear diagonal verticle bars bolt the front frame rails just behind the front crossmember.

This is the inertmediate frame that fits between the chassis adapter box and the plow.

Thanks Wes.
I am finishing up the 1929 model A roadster pickup this fall. The boys will be Juniors in high school this fall so I should probably put them to work on the 3B before they are gone.
