....time I spent on....I'll ditto THAT!

I own an M38/CJ3A. Bought it for $800 in 1974. Engine was in the
back, in pieces. Had 6 volt electrics. ALSO, it came with an M151 engine,
and a plow.

I'll let you fill in the blanks. Haven't a clue as to what the previous
owner was doing with it.

I've reassembled it back to the M38
configuration, 24 volt and all. We use it regularly. She is down now
for an engine rebuild and body work. 100,000 miles and road salt you know.

Speaking for myself....from your description....GRAB IT!!!

Both the CJ3A AND the M38 are a popular machine!

Good Luck!
