OT - Warn Overdrive
 

This may be blasphemous to you Jeep lovers, but I'm a '63 IH Scout owner
trying to track down a Warn Overdrive unit for my truck (Dana 18). Hoping
to run across a used or rebuilt one, trying to stay away from the new units
supplied by Advanced. EBay has netted no results so far. Don't be too
cruel : ) !
thx

Re: OT - Warn Overdrive
 

Why be too cruel ??

I heard that some scouts have parts that work real well in older
Jeeps ; )

Another thing that would work. You can get a conversion kit for your
dana18 (terra low) that would make you vehicle go way slower in 4 low
and keep the same ratio in 4hi/2hi. if you re-gear the diff's in such a
way that it makes your vhicle go less slow in 4low, then you somewhat
have an over drive in 4hi/2hi.

might be an expensive way to do it though, sometimes an easy to swap in
replacement for your tranny might be easier and less expensive (and with
older vehicles you might be able to find one real cheap. I found my T18
for $35, needed some work though)

Old Scouts are neat, don't see many left on the road around here.

Except, he's already got a bullet proof machine, Borg Warner T-90,
Dana 18 and Dana 44s. If he finds a Warn overdrive he'll be able to
split gears like the dirt trucks and their Browning or Fuller
auxiliaries, and look at all those sticks:
