This jeep no longer has it’s trencher, but it still has lots of parts.
“1948 willys jeep trench-o-jeep do not have the trencher has rear pto with all drive shafts has another pto for the trencher with drive shafts has all engagement levers and hardware for drive has coil over helper springs for the weight jeep has transmission but no engine and no title jeep tub in good shape rust holes in floors”
Looks like the coil spring system sits awfully close to the tire.
The coils were added due to the weight of the trencher in the rear. I may be wrong, but that was a standard mod when adding the trencher.
Oh I agree with you David what the coils job was but just seemed very close to the tire.
That makes sense. I guess it doesn’t matter since no one with a trencher on back will ever be going very fast. 🙂
