WTB Mercedes OM617 to Jeep AX-15 kit - jenyus - 01-14-2013 anyone got one of these kits laying around theyre not using by any chance? RE: WTB Mercedes OM617 to Jeep AX-15 kit - Simpler=Better - 01-14-2013 Yup. Looking for $150 + shipping. I have a homemade 1/4" aluminum adapter plate I bought from a guy down in VA, comes with a Jeep flywheel drilled to the merc pattern. I never installed it, he said that it ate a pilot bearing-which makes me think that you'd want to use a pilot bushing to align everything while you're assembling it. RE: WTB Mercedes OM617 to Jeep AX-15 kit - jenyus - 01-14-2013 That sounds pretty good, do you have a picture by any chance? RE: WTB Mercedes OM617 to Jeep AX-15 kit - Simpler=Better - 01-15-2013 Hell no! I'll get my brother to pull it out of storage and snap a photo though RE: WTB Mercedes OM617 to Jeep AX-15 kit - jenyus - 01-15-2013 Sounds good! As long as it doesn't look like a blind 9yr old made it it sounds like a good deal RE: WTB Mercedes OM617 to Jeep AX-15 kit - jenyus - 01-16-2013 Do you know when you'll have a picture of it? I've got a jeep sitting with a blown head gasket and a 300sd sitting in my driveway RE: WTB Mercedes OM617 to Jeep AX-15 kit - Simpler=Better - 01-16-2013 I'm houndin' him, I'll let you know first thing-I don't want to miss a sale RE: WTB Mercedes OM617 to Jeep AX-15 kit - jenyus - 01-18-2013 Hey sorry to keep bugging you but I need to get this project going soon. I'm going to order one of the kits soon if I don't hear back from you soon but I'd love to save some money and take yours off your hands if possible RE: WTB Mercedes OM617 to Jeep AX-15 kit - Simpler=Better - 01-18-2013 Supposedly getting photos in an hour or so we will see....

Full disclosure, I have never fitted this to an OM617 or an AX-15. I would HIGHLY recommend getting a pilot bushing or alignment tool (basically a steel pilot bushing) to make sure it all lines up straight. You will still need to come up with fasteners and a pilot bushing that fits, but those are both easy to procure. RE: WTB Mercedes OM617 to Jeep AX-15 kit - jenyus - 01-19-2013 hmmm its a little rougher than i was expecting, but looks like it will do the job. How about $150 shipped to zip code 95370? i found i can get a pilot bushing from a 73 cj-5, same exact size as the pilot bearing, just a bushing. thanks for the headsup on that! why didn't you end up using it? RE: WTB Mercedes OM617 to Jeep AX-15 kit - Simpler=Better - 01-19-2013 Sounds like a plan. PM me your address and we'll get the ball rolling. RE: WTB Mercedes OM617 to Jeep AX-15 kit - Simpler=Better - 01-20-2013 I never used it because my plan changed. A running DJ5 came by for $350, so I went that route. I'm now sitting on a DJ5, SM465, NP205, and mildly built 617. RE: WTB Mercedes OM617 to Jeep AX-15 kit - jenyus - 01-20-2013 What kind of dj5? I had never heard of one before you said something about thwm RE: WTB Mercedes OM617 to Jeep AX-15 kit - Simpler=Better - 01-20-2013 Mail jeeps. 2wd, I6, dynaglide, RHD. Had a hard top and sliding doors. Rear springs were on the outside of the frame rail stock. Funny front grill
