Re: Draining front differential CJ3B
Thanks all - the rear differential does have drain with 1/2" square socket.
The front one does not have any drain in bottom. At least this one doesn't.
I'm yanking the cover off and cleaning it out. Maybe I'll find the damn
thing then. Then on to knuckles, wheel bearings, finish brakes, etc...fresh
gas and it fired right up.

Re: Draining front differential CJ3B
And be sure to use a good sealant like this:
PERMATEX® ULTRA BLUE® No Leak RTV Silicone Gasket Maker
http://www.caswellplating.com/permat...ketmakers.html
to seal the differential cover after you scrape off all the old gasket
material and clean it really well.

Re: Draining front differential CJ3B
There is no drain plug, you have to remove the cover to drain the diff.

Re: Draining front differential CJ3B
Well, the Original Poster said, his does not have a drain plug, BUT
if it was a stock CJ-3A he would still have the stronger Dana 25:

Jeeps and commercial vehicles have a drain as number seventeen in
