HeavyGunner Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 This year was willys/jeeps 75th anniversary and jp magazine did a really cool 7 part history of jeeps. After WWII the first CJ's (civilian jeeps) went for for sale and were mostly marketed as farm equipment and other vocational equipment. You could get them with a drawbar, pto and many implements to run off of the pto. There were trenching attachments, big pto driven onboard welders, seed cleaners and many more uses and attachments. It's pretty interesting to google it and see all of the old brochures for implements for the willys.

57 bcr Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 That is cool,Paul! And a must for the property owner,like you.There was an outfit around here that had 2 chain-type trenchers and another CJ-5 fitted with a post hole digger (PHD). Haven't seen them around for years,though. One of my favorite attachments for the CJ-5,was the p.t.o. driven welder,like HeavyGunner noted. Only had room enough for the guy and a box of rod,but you could get right out to the field and weld your implement with it.

Popular Post Freightrain Posted March 14, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 14, 2017 Always liked the earlier jeeps(whatever model number they were), mid 70's or so. With a 304 v8, side exhaust and a 3spd. Man, they sounded GOOD!! I think about that more and more. How we used to have some really cool stuff to drive. Not a bunch of buzz'n 4 cylinders and Hybrids. Ugh. I've run into a fellow I knew about from college in mid 80's(didn't know him, just his car). He drove a very nice black '70 Chevelle, 454/4spd to school. Ran into him a few years ago at machine shop I use and he still has that car. I just miss being able to drive stuff like that everyday like it is "normal". 6 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Popular Post fxfymn Posted March 15, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2017 One of my early rides was a 1961 CJ5 with the F Head 4 cylinder, a Fisher plow, and the factory option fiberglass roof, steel side cab. The doors were about 2 inches thick and hung outside of the cab. If you happened to touch the outside of the roof with a bare hand you were guaranteed to get a fiberglass splinter in it. I made a lot of money with that little bugger plowing snow. The cab kept you dry, but it was as cold as the outside and I had to scrape the inside of the windshield to see. 3 Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!
