Just a few updates today. I should have the irrigation done by tomorrow. Calves got moved today, so hope to move our steers in the next day or two. We have family stuff this weekend, so my hope is to have more regular updates next week.

This was published in a late 1940s sales book. One guy claims he hooked up his windshield wiper vacuum hose to his milking machine to streamlined the milking.

1962 Wagon Portland, ME $4000

• CATEGORIES: Willys Wagons This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

The seller labels this 2WD wagon a Maverick, but this May of 1962 2WD wagon brochure does not identify it as such. Thanks to John for sharing this ad. This runs and drives.

“If the ad is up the car is still available 2wd with the Tornado 230 straight 6. All kinds of work done, currently registered and driving. Floors need to be replaced and I bought new ones that are included. Would trade for a nice 50’s good driving Oldsmobile or similar car. New brakes, shocks and rear springs. Fuel tank is excellent along with new fuel lines”

1967 CJ-5 Waynesville, OH $3200

• CATEGORIES: CJ5 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Roger Martin is selling this CJ-5 that’s equipped with a PTO and rear gearbox. The engine runs, but the brakes need finishing. You can contact him at 937 477 5270 or via email rogerjm55 @ gmail.com (remove spaces from around the @).

“The jeep starts and runs good. The previous owner said he put wheel cylinders on it, but he didn’t finish hooking up the brake lines on the front. I don’t know how good of a job he did putting wheel cylinders on it. So it needs brake work for sure. The carburetor drips gas, so it needs the carburetor rebuilt. It as a rust hole on the right front frame where the front crossmember connects to the frame

The transmission sounds a little noisy. Do not know if it’s low on grease or it needs bearings.

Punxatawney, PA, Area Readers

• CATEGORIES: wanted This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Andy has been a big help to eWillys readers recently by finding and sharing a bunch of ads. Now, he needs a little help. He’s hoping someone can stop by a seller in the Punxatwaney, Pennsylvania, area and pick up some MIller front end tools Andy needs. It sounds like the seller is having a difficult time getting around to mailing them.

Anyway, if you can help Andy out, email him at adtesto @ gmail.com (remove spaces from around the @).

New Steers & More Irrigation

• CATEGORIES: Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

It’s been a busy week, hence the lack of updates. Yesterday our new 1000lb+ steers arrived. They are raised about an hour away. We already have one sold, though we’ll raise it over the summer for the new owner. The other should be sold over the next few weeks. We’ll move them to our pasture (from the neighbor’s pasture) in the next day or two.

We now have 2 steers, three cows and four heifers. We’ll be breeding the three cows and one of the heifers. The other three heifers will be sold or slaughtered in the fall.

Much of the week was spent installing the new irrigation. Part of it was to install two sprinkler heads in front of the guest house, while the other new work involved hunting down the main trunk line of a zone we hadn’t been using because it had broken. Lacking any map of how the six zones of irrigation is spread across 2.5 acres, it took some hunting to finally locate the leak causing the problem. Once that was done, I routed the main line under the walkway and to a central location where it will branch out for watering our blue berry shrubs and six new raised beds. Hopefully, I’ll have all that done later this week.

This first pic shows the run needed to power two sprinkler heads in zone 1.

Zone 1 ends at the corner where Zone 5 sneaks under the sidewalk.

2024-04-13-irrigation-beds-littlehouse6

In late 2022 I capped zone 5 after discovering it as part of digging something else (the previous owner used zone 5 with one irrigation sprinkler, which we eliminated. The plan was to repair zone 5, but it took until now to do that. The easiest way was to direct the line north as shown here, then cut west under the sidewalk.

1965 Work-and-Hobby Horse Ads

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Bantam-FordGP-WillysMA-EarlyJPs, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: I ran across another of these Work-and Hobby Horse Ads from 1965. It appears to be part of a campaign, but I don’t know how many ads were created. I’ll update this post as I locate others.

This ad is available on eBay and was featured in the Farm Journal Magazine and possibly others:

1965-work-hobby-jeep-ad4

Here’s one from PINTREST and features a Tux Park IV:

1965-work-hobby-jeep-ad

This ad from PINTREST shows off both the CJ-6 and CJ-5 Tux Parks:

This one was made into a metal sign, so it’s not an exact copy of the ad. It’s for sale on eBay:

1965-work-hobby-jeep-ad2

=========================

This was originally published March 06, 2022: Barry Thomas (Farmjeep.com) shared this 1965 ad that shows a CJ-5 being used as an extra farm hand. If anyone happens to have any ads showing a CJ-5 on the farm or with a lift, Barry would be very interested in it.
