UPDATE: **SOLD**. Was $4000.
Has at least one cracked weld that needs fixing.
“This is the most complete Newgren lift I have seen, time to let it go. It comes with original pump bracket plus later version bracket. Was removed from a working farm Jeep with original overload springs”
This is the style I like, under the body so you can still utilize the back seat. However I was a little taken aback when I noticed the asking price. I don’t know that much about Willy’s 3 pt lift systems but maybe this is a fair price? (or maybe just supply and demand?)
My brother has a pair of springs leftover from a pickup he had that look the same as the ones in the picture. Are they just aftermarket or particular to Newgren ?
Blaine: I don’t have any brochures indicating that Newgren sold springs. However, according to one document from an early 1950s Willys Industrial Equipment Book, the correct installation of certain equipment required certain accessories (from the factory). For example:
The Trencher on a CJ-3A required (listed by Factory Code order number) the following equipment:
1- Drawbar
2A – PTO Complete
2D – Pulley & Pulley Drive
4 – Governor
9 – Front Bumper Weight
24 – Hot Climate Radiator
36 – 7.00×15, 4ply, N.D. Tire
40A – Heavy Duty Rear Springs
Also receiving the Heavy Duty Rear Springs (40A) were:
The Howe Fire Truck package
Earth Drill package
The Monroe Fire Plow & Pumper Unit package
Lift Equipment packages
Lubritruck package
Movie Truck package
Drawbar Mount winch package
Canfield Wrecker packages
Manley Wrecker packages
When Power Equipment (left undefined as to what constituted that) was installed, the Heavy Duty Rear spring package was 40B, or just the right side received a heavy duty rear spring.

Yes it was sold to a teacher who was going to demonstrate it to his students. Nice system at the time and complete too.
Thanks for the update Alan!
