A buddy for Marge (1 Viewer)

[jestlurnin]

Long story short I was waiting for the boys at the bus stop in Marge when I guy pulls up next to me and says, “I have one of those. You should buy it from me.”

Finally went to peak at it this afternoon. Been sitting under a tarp for 2 years, 15 minutes from me further up in the woods. It’s never run in this persons possession so I’m assuming an entire power train is going to be needed. I’m not familiar with the 3 stick set up in the transmission tunnel. What mod would that have been? Not crazy about the sheet metal being cut away under the tailgate but figured someone with metal skills could fix that. She’s not perfect but a lot better than some I’ve looked at.

I anticipate a deal being made shortly. Someone talk me out of it.

@bobm I shoulda taken better picture of the 3 stick set up. Hopefully you can piece it together over multiple pictures. Do you believe it’s a factory PTO? If so that seals the deal. For whatever reason I’ve always wanted a factory PTO on one of my cruisers. I can always go back up and take another look.

The body looks decent. If not you, someone ought to bring this back to life.

@greenbeast I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse yet!

Nice find. Obviously some rust but not as bad as most.

 

[onemanarmy]

is it a PTO or some sort of overdrive unit added onto the 4 speed?
