Civilian L-134 in Good Shape Wanted

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

Carlos Lopez from Navarro, Spain, is seeking a civilian L-134 in good condition from someone willing to ship the engine to Spain. He’s rebuilding the very first MB-CJ3B built in Spain (Civvy L-134s were installed in the early ones http://www.mb-cj3b.com/home_en/mb-cj3b_history). He’s spent the past year looking around Spain for an engine, but has had no luck finding one. Based on an ebay example he sent me (that seller won’t ship internationally), he’s willing to pay a reasonable amount for the engine (of course he’ll foot the shipping).

It sounds like a worthy project. Email me at d@ewillys.com and I’ll provide his email.

Here are some pics of his jeep. He’s buying parts as he can.

1945 Patent for a Jeep Bulldozer Attachment

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

On October 11, 1945, George W. Mork patented the first bulldozer attachment for a jeep as part of his work with Caterpillar Global Mining company. I don’t recognize the design, so I don’t think this was ever produced commercially, but maybe Caterpillar used it??

Jeep-A-Loader

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A, CJ-3A, Features, Unusual • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: This is the original patent for the Jeep-a-Loader! The application was first filed on February 07, 1955, by the Minneapolis Freeman Mfg, Co. (Out of Minneapolis??). I am guessing that the Jeep-A-Loader Corporation was a subsidiary or offshoot from the above parent company. The drawing shows that the Jeep-A-Loader was designed to fit over a CJ-3B (perhaps a CJ-5 as well), though the only one I’ve seen documented is fitted on a CJ-3A.

The filing date likely means this was manufactured around 1955, plus or minus a year. The patent was granted February 11, 1958.
