I live in a crummy place for rain. I want to install a windshield washer and looking under the hood(stock F head) I can't make up my mind where to mount the plastic reservoir bottle. Really there is only a couple of places that have enough room and I was wondering if any of you have any pictures of your washer reservoir and what kind it is. Thanks Howard

Hi there,

My RHD Indian 3B came with a washer set-up already installed,not too sure what make it is but as you can see it's the type that has the pump motor fitted to the body of the bottle.

The unit is strapped to the side of the tub support bracket with a couple of cable tie's. Might not look secure but it has never come loose or taken any damage. A minor gripe would be it's bit awkward to fill but you may have more room in your engine bay. Apart from that it seem's to work just fine in that location. ;)

I think the best place is on the right firewall, below the SN tag. I had mine there for several decades before that space was appropriated for other use. Not sure if I have a pic from that arrangement but will look.

35.51 Windshield Washer - Automatic

The correct optional windshield washer for a Willys is a red " Trico squeee bag".
They are often mounted on the drivers inside firewall.
Some bags are merely squeezed in order to pump washer fluid up.
Others have a rubber bulb mounted on the toe board thats used to pump the washer fluid.

That's really 'tucked' in there. That would work if you can find the right sized reservoir bottle.

If you're searching junk yards, look for an old early 70's Plymouth or Dodge. I had a 72 Barracuda that had a rubber foot pump on the left side of the floor by the bright light switch to pump up the washer fluid.

oldtime, I have a question for you. I haven't had this Jeep for long and I'm still finding things that have happened to it in the past 40 + years. Well there is this knob on the dash above the heater that I couldn't figure out what it was for. It didn't do anything like a 'normal' knob would do. Anyway my current 'to do' is the windshield washer . I got to looking around under the hood and about the only place for it would be on the passenger side at the back of the fender. While checking that out I found a little hose that looks like a wiper supply hose. It already has a double washer nozzle in the center of the cowl. Back to the knob on the dash. I was trying to figure out what it may be and instead of twisting and pulling I pushed it in......it went in about 1 1/2 inches. It feels like it's a hand pump and I'm betting that it was for a 'early' washer system. Have you ever seen anything like that before? Also in the one picture you can see what I think is the washer supply hose. If so and the pump (if it is one) works all I would need is a reservoir . Have you seen a pump like that before?

No I don't believe I've ever seen a thumb activated windshield washer.
It's certainly not a factory installation. Probably an aftermarket washer system.
Many variations of the manual type windshield washers were common throughout the 1960's.
Some Trico units had a rubber pressure bulb that was mounted on the toe board for foot activation.

I remember some of the foot powered pumps and also the plastic bags that laid on the inner fenders didn't some of those have a vacuum system that sprayed the water? Anyway I've never seen one of these kind of pumps either. I'm going to try to get it to work tomorrow, it feels like it may still work, hope so. It would be nice to have an operational vintage system like that. I wonder who in heck made that?

Howard,
That image you posted of the knob is just above a military id plate. This reminded me of something I read before.

Read here:
http://www.film.queensu.ca/CJ3B/Military/Walton64.html

I read, "Hand-operated windshield washer pump"
It appears there's a similar knob just above the "Nomenclature Plate" like yours.

Further down on the "64 owners page, there's another indicating a Nomenclature Plate that also has a hand pump. Hmm.

http://www.film.queensu.ca/CJ3B/Photos64.html

With that info I looked up military 3Bs and found:
http://www.film.queensu.ca/CJ3B/Military/Carlile.html

Again, Hand Pump.

This Navy version however didn't seem to have the hand pump:
http://www.film.queensu.ca/CJ3B/Military/CaprioNavy3B.html

While my PM agrees with input posted here so far: the 3B had an optional foot pump, it would seem a militarized 3B may have had a hand pump installed.

Hey thanks for the information, I see several of those knobs in the pictures from your links. I don't know what to make of it. I never thought about this 3B being military and still don't know . That same knob is obvious in the pictures and almost would make me wonder if it wasn't a factory option. I've never seen it before in any other Jeeps. Interesting. Hope the thing still works. I'll try to rehab it tomorrow.

Hi everyone.
I'm sure that mine, shown here was a factory installed option.
Posted Image
To me, seeing pictures of Craig Carlile's 64 validates that.
Everything was still there on mine except for the vinyl bag under the hood.
For that,
I bought a repro washer bag with the check valve in it off of ebay.
I hung it on the passenger fender behind the voltage regulator.
I can take a picture of it tomorrow if anyone would like to see it.
As for the pump in the dash, mine was corroded to the point that I couldn't push the plunger in :( But after some light heat and Kroil I was able to free it up without damaging the diaphram inside, it works great now :)

div4gold, I see that your pump knob might be missing it's rubber cover.
