As I know we all like pictures of jeeps I figured I would share a couple of photos of my Jeep pedal car project for my daughter!





Needs a little work but its all original. Doesnt look like Bubba got to it!

Nice find.

Nice looking Hamilton. looks very complete.

Thanks. It is actually all there. Will need new tires and the rear bearings are shot. Havent been able to locate replacements but hopefully have a place to fabricate bearings for me. Got to start my daughter off early with a jeep!!

Try speedway motors-pedal cars. They have lots of stuff listed for your jeep. I too have a Hamilton - jeep, mine is not quite as complete as yours. I'm going to restore mine if I ever get my M-38 done.

Wait til you have her looking like this one!

I cant wait until its done and I am watching my daughter pedaling away! She just turned 1 so I have a little time. I am actually debating whether to go back to the air force colors or make it a minature of my A1 and see if I can get the Hood #s and other stencials in a minuature size.

I have actaully seen speedway motors website. Great site! They have everything I need if I cant fix it myself except the rear ball bearings attached to the Pedal straps Part # 7. I dont see a part # for the ball bearings themselve and it looks as though they dont have the Rear axle assembly either Part #3 if that comes with the bearings. I havent spent much time yet researching or asking around but I am sure I will come up with something.

Atleast this jeep's version of an ORD 9 is only one page!

I am sure if you remove that bearing and take it to the counter of a bearing supply house they can find one to fit. We have a chain here in the midwest called Bearing Headquarters and is where I get most of my bearings for the jeeps, my cars and the airplanes I work on.

I'm sure you already know this but if you can find a number on it or measure it you have a good chance of finding the bearings for it. There is a place here in mid mo called Missouri power transmission that I have very good luck with.

Yea I have a place I am going to take them to if I cant find a replacement. Nothing new when it comes to having minor issues during a restoration.

Only question is should I go with NDCC's on it

I don't know much about the weather in Maryland but you might go with a good set of all season radials. Mine has a set of maypops on it.

So its been a long time but I finished up the pedal car! It took a while but I was able to find someone to reproduce the hanging brackets with the bearings. I got the canvas from Beachwood and they just charged shipping. Great company! I used the hood number from my M38A1 and as I was finishing it up I wanted to add the rope, windshield bumpers and the wire cutter.

Looks great. I would suggest some kind of rubber tip or sock on that wire cutter.

Thanks. Its just on there for show. I plan on keeping it off when she uses it for that reason.

That is the cutest thing I've ever seen. Your daughter is one happy Jeeper!
Remind anyone else of a mini Margaret Houlahan??
