Time to introduce myself and my pig

[ArcheoMan]

Hey Trollhole, Sorry for the delay in responding to your request. I'm posting this picture for you of the location of the pto shifter. I am short on space for pics, hopefully will get more as I post more. Hope the pic helps. Also shows the AC better for those interested in "pretty" pictures. I got some tires, and a starter is on order. I might get it cleaned up and fired up in the next few weeks. I'll keep ya'll posted and will certainly be asking some specific questions.

Very nice find. I am particularly fond of the '74s...
If you want much more help, and post more pics, you should really buy a star...
In fact, if you do buy a star, I'll give you the super-secret part number for the broken gear in your tailgate window...

Man what a deal. nice Piggie! Really awesome you have a pto winch. Look forward to more pics and updates.

I just figured out about the silver star and will be getting one. I like posting pics and seeing others. I appreciate all the help.

That is a sweet deal!

You want a 'gear reduction' starter from an FJ60. Much better than the starters than came with the 1F's and earlier 2F's.

I got mine from the junkyard, but if you want one from a parts store, just ask for a starter for a '85 FJ60. Bolts right up.

If you search for gear reduction starter you should get plenty of info.

I'm jealous!

Thanks Pighead, I owe you one . I got a used GR starter in the mail today, and handle for my broken floor jack, tires to mount so I can roll it out to clean and install, 3 days of vacation left, a good weather forecast, and I owe ya'll some new pics after all that. PTO shifter should be cleaned and photo op ready then too. Appreciate all the help and the 's.

Roll her out and give her a bubble bath! Great find, I grew up with one of these in the family, my grandad's was awesome, when I was little I though it was an army truck because it was so big and ugly. Now I see the beauty and miss that old girl. Seems like small fixes ahead of you, chip them off a little at a time and get her running as soon as you can, then drive it and enjoy it.
