Mine is actually a March 1955 unit.
Willys was really cranking the out in the early years.

Mine has the early style cluster with those large recessed lights.

Again, many thanks.

Turned out to be a cable which was twisted until it snapped.

You could cut off and save about 6 inches from the speedo end of the busted cable to use in the future as a special adapter tool (with your variable speed drill) to spin check a speedometer for proper operation.

If you can remember where you put it when you need it.

Just a thought.

I duct tape the piece to the speedo's housing.

I keep a special bin labeled just for jeep peculiar tools.

I work on several dozen vehicle types and aircraft so I really cannot afford to keep separate tool boxes based on vehicles.
