Homemade Loader Sturgeon Bay, WI $1000

Seller notes this is built on some jeep drive train. It makes me wonder if it was a Topeka Mower chassis?

https://greenbay.craigslist.org/grd/d/sturgeon-bay-homemade-loader/6819812617.html
“I have a homemade loader, has 3cylinder Diesel engine. Rear steer, not sure of make of engine. Needs to have brakes hooked up. Runs and moves fine. I believe that the drive train under it is from a Willy’s Jeep. Has high and low range. I don’t know what the lifting capacity is or the total weight of the machine. I had it on my 6×12 foot single axle trailer without any problems.”

“This is a really neat project for someone who has the time. This Jeep needs extensive bodywork and some frame work and most likely mechanical work like brakes etc. The battery is not good and there is an antifreeze leak that needs some more investigation. I took some pictures of the damaged areas just to set the tone.
Keep in mind nothing has been done to this jeep for many years.

The good news is its starts right up and the transmission shifts easily. It seems like everything is functional with the drive train. The hard top is unique and solid. The doors need some work. It has an electric plow lift and plow.
Its been around for a while but the mileage is relatively low.
I purchased it to keep me busy over the winter and it turns out other things more pressing took my time.

This jeep is not road worthy at this time but it could go right to work on a farm with a bit of work.”

“It can be used as a recreational or farm/ranch vehicle currently. It would need more work to become street legal. The engine starts and runs nice. It has a new aluminum radiator and never gets close to overheating. I’ve also recently installed new gas tank, lines and fuel pump, along with a new five year battery. The tires have great tread for the mud. All the gauges and lights work, but recently cracked the back light covers, which is a cheep and easy fix. I have a reprint of the original manual and guide book to the complete tear down and rebuild that will come with the vehicle.”

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** was $24,999.

The seller of this jeep suggested to at least one potential buyer that for more pics and a description, the potential buyer could download a book from Shutterfly for $70. While this may or may not be a scam, I feel such a suggestion is inappropriate. Moreover, the seller refuses to be contacted by phone (text only), even though the seller contacted me by email.

“Restored to 90% specification using original parts and other high quality reproductions. THIS IS NOT THE 1945 WILLY’S MB! The 1941 model is exceedingly rare and differs from the 1945 Jeep in more than 30 ways.

Some of the notable differences that are found on this Willy’s are: rubber steering wheel, brass framed instruments, pumpkin air filter, distinct fuel tank and filler, seat upholstery, and gears; heavy drive shaft, rectangular gearbox cover, glass fuel filter, single-piece rims, and more that are detailed in a book included with the purchase.

The vehicle is exceptionally unique and has a clean title. I accept only serious offers. TXT only, please.”
