This mixer was featured in the 1949 Willys Overland Equipment Book. It was manufactured by Hertzler and Zook, a company established in 1899 out of Belleville, Pennsylvania, that manufactured an array of machinery and farm implements. There are still a few catalogs left out there, such as this 1926-27 catalog for sale at Abe Books.

Jeffrey,
That’s a rare item. I’d love to get some pics of it and add it to this post if possible. You can email me directly at d@deilers.com.
Thanks,

I’m just now putting it back together. I got the drum to go over a little bit yet.
What year is this concrete mixer made in I just got one that was my late brother inlaws..gonna redo it n use it
Steven,
I can’t tell you when you was made, but the brochures appeared circa 1947-1949, so it’s likely that’s when yours was made. The product stopped appearing in Willys-Overland special equipment brochures around 1950, but I don’t know when the product stopped being produced.
I hope you can rebuild it and use it!
