    Looks like it does have an overdrive...the thing on the firewall is a 3 stage 24v compressor....when I disconnected the line it still had air in it....go figure. Also has a small air tank under the right floor board

    Fun to tear apart other peoples jeeps over the internet.Obviously an overdrive as the place for the PTO isn't used and wouldn't be used if you had the OD. The motor doesn't look too happy. I hope it works out for you.

    My 86 year old father says the compressor is from a B17 which used to open the bomb bay doors.....he tell lots of stories so I have no idea if true. The 1500 psi is wild...

    Hell no. I'm the one running 24 volts. That trumps whatever you've got in your hand. Now go back to end of the line...NOW, KID!

    Someone put a lot of work into that Jeep. Interesting to say the least.

    Ummmm, I'm the one who identified what it was first. Just in case the OP already knew what it was that doesn't count this time. So hand it over! :D

    I've reviewed the transcripts sir.....you only identified it as an "air compressor".
    You're only half right....

    And....I took 2.8 seconds to confirm what it was...so it's mine !

    Wonder what one would cost now if you could find it ?
    Must have been inexpensive back in that day

    Well, since I know you have respect for your elders I'll play that card. And to be fair I'll agree to joint custody, and to save on shipping costs I'll let you have it for the first weekend since you're closer to it. :D
