The guy that was letting people try out the backhoe on his jeep was such a class act! You know how many kids dream of doing something like that and he lets them!
I suppose at the tme just after WW2 farm tractors were pretty small. The Farmall M was about 40 hp and the Ford 2N / 8N was about 23. Chain saws were still very new and heavy. Hydraulic backhoes were still small. The Jeep could probably compete and still be roadworthy, filling a niche. In addition there were millions of men from WW2 that were very familiar with them.
THATS WHY JEEP is THE KING. ITS YOUR SWISS KNIFE VEHICLE. YOU HAVE INSTANT MOBILE FACTORY & UTILITY. ITS HIGHLY RELIABLE EVEN THE CIVILIZATION COLLAPSE JEEP STILL THE KING IN THE RING.
I'm 71 and never seen or knew of these attachments. I must have lived a sheltered life! Extremely interesting especially seeing these still working in such good condition. But I did see a Jeep with a post hole digger once thinking it was some homemade attachment.
Man I thought I was in love with Trains, Fire trucks, Ambulances, and police cars because of all the gadgets and gizmos now I have to add Jeeps to the list. I didn't know they made all these types of jeeps. Very cool
I'm more surprised at the amount of people who didnt know or have never seen jeeps with implements. A farmer friend of mine has an old CJ-6 with PTO that I've been trying to get for years. It needs work but the longer wheel base and PTO is too cool.
What a cool video, I've always admired the Jeep for their utilitarian abilities, my neighbor had a 76', CJ5 fully factory original, talk about a bullet proof vehicle. One day iam going to own a 40's era WW2 Jeep, it's on my bucket list. Awesome video and thank you for sharing this with us.🇺🇸✌️
Awesome! It’s interesting to see the Unimog in other films doing the same stuff and more accept going down the road at over 60mph during the same time frame. I do love the Willys!
To the people that gave it a thumbs down. IT'S A JEEP THING... YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND Win a war Run a farm Excellent off road American Icon Jeep. There's only one.
Now I was really impressed, is this the original equipment for Willie's Jeep ?. The yellow trench excavator is probably the grandfather of the Jeep family (I saw it had a younger green son) A real potato this car (can be used for anything). With such a car, you can start anything from a dental office to a sawmill, as well as use it to build the houses of these companies..
Yep I was the old pro driver of our 3 acre field banging the four speed toe to heel braking in turn three at a incredible speed of 18 mph!!!! Lol!!!! Alot of this story is true! Lol!
@@KingBigBabyJesus Back in the day most farm trucks were 2wd lol. Every old farm truck I have ever seen around here from the 1940's-1970's have all been 2wd.
@@coffelt683 Hmm well I'm sure they didn't have these silly open diffs, if they have two rear drive tires they're just as capable as the newish junk, maybe not the newest vehicles seeing how they run front and rear lockers now but they definitely won't be around as long as any of the equipment in the video has been or will be.
Willys and Kaiser used the name "Jeep Universal" and these attachments reflect on that name. Another words, Mon - Fri work on the farm or ranch, Sat morn Go Fishing and drive it to church on Sunday. My 66 Kaiser Universal had pins sticking up on the front of the frame for weights for the front end for traction while plowing/discing/harrowing etc.
I live in York PA and theres been a jeep sitting along n. George st for years with a backhoe attachment on it! World war 2 piece? Pretty awesome looking either way! Finally got to see same dig! Pretty cool! The one with the ditch witch is pretty slick as well
sarge27271 Jeep wouldn’t sell nearly as many if they weren’t like they are now and the US government would never allow new ones to be like these old ones for on road use. I know people love to say “they don’t make them like that anymore” but new Jeeps are far more capable than ever off road and they can be used as an every day vehicle too without much sacrifice. I don’t think these farm Jeeps were all that common and I’m sure a tractor is probably more effective at most of this stuff. They are cool though and I do like old Jeeps for their simplicity. You can buy a brand new “Jeep” though just like these old ones if you want one, they are not street legal though in the US, maybe it’s possible to somehow get one registered for the road, I’m not sure on that. I thought the price seemed a bit steep too but everything is expensive these days. These side by sides are as much as a car and I think that’s essentially what the new “Jeeps” are being sold as.
sarge27271 , ANY use for an old Jeep is a good use. Toys or tools it's all good. Mall crawler or crap hauler, Hunter or highway, it takes a real person to put up with a Jeep and love it.
@@mcearl8073 Your statement, "the US government would never allow" is the problem. Too many laws, too many bureaucrats, too many taxes to pay for it all (debt to pay for what taxes don't cover, hail rothchilds).
fernarias I don’t disagree with that really but in this case it’s kind of hard to even argue why. Vehicles today are so much safer than the ones made back then when these Jeeps were made and considering they have to share the roads with the rest of us it’s not a terrible thing that the US has safety standards that need to be met. That said, I do think our laws could be changed in a way that’s a bit of a compromise but it’s unlikely to happen. I also think that since our cars are infinitely safer and more capable today I shouldn’t have to follow speed limits that were set in the days of drum brakes, no air bags, no crumple zones, no ABS or stability control etc. If you want one just for off road use you can buy one of the Indian ones which is basically a brand new old Jeep, or any of the side by sides available today.
I really love the video, I happen to have a Scout 80 and I think about ptos, winches, attachments, etc. And wondering how I might be able to build a full blown hydraulic tractor setup with a reservoir, pump, and hydraulic motor, etc with quick disconnects... I've taken it out on the freeway upto 90+ mph, now, I want to make it utilitarian as well. I was introduced to a Willys owner 20 years ago who had a hoist, and basically set it up like a small Mahindra 4wd tractor at his shop when he was rebuilding my IH266 engine. Great video! I hope to learn what I can.
I used to have a "64" Jeep like the yellow one with the trencher on it, the conveyor belt always came apart, the pulleys werent made right. Didnt use it anymore, sold to a guy in PA.
At 3:20 you can see they have the chainsaw attachment upside down. The bumper spikes are pointing down instead of up. Hmmm ... but the chain is still going the right direction. Perhaps the spikes are just installed upside down. Jus' sayin'.
on the stratton three point hitch did you happen to see how the hydraulic pump was mounted an ran? I have a stratton, bought it years ago it was'nt on a jeep when i got it just a pile of parts but it looks like there's a bracket that bolts to the engine using the oil pan bolts and a rubber wheel that runs against the belt on the crank pulley. Im just wondering If you or any one else would have an idea. information on the stratton hitch is hard to find. Good video pretty cool stuff there. Where is hueston woods?
The cool factor is 10X that of a new one. Take a new one out in the pucker brush and you're not going to feel like you're on a grand adventure. Do it in a real jeep and you know you're on an adventure.
multifunctionalism is an attribute of sufficiency which leads the path towards sustainability, from this point of view these machines were a real interesting alternative, exactly the opposite what is preached and made by the industry today (overpriced status-symbol objects that are not capable to fulfill the slightest real jobs) I have had enough of this nonsense and would go for redesigned alternatives like these ones any moment!
I was just thinking the same thing! nowadays I see all these pimped out rolling couch jeeps a/c big tires and the required high lift jack bolted somewhere....
Deepblu dude When I see the glossy new jeeps I think of a unimog axle off road truck, in flat military paint. Jeep lost its soul the moment Chrysler bought it.
@@asherdie Mahindra is interesting but not street legal without spending thousands more then its pretty high price (IMHO) im still looking for an old CJ2, until ill keep bombing around in my 71W200 dodge
We've got a old willys jeep I think it's a 47 and a old land rover I think it's a 74 or 75 my wife's grandparents got the wife's from grandpa's dad we use it to get firewood or just go up in the mountains with it needs some work but is a great little jeep makes the new jeeps look like toys
Been around the willys jeep all my life and never knew about all the different attachments for one. Handy as a pocket on a tee shirt.
The guy that was letting people try out the backhoe on his jeep was such a class act! You know how many kids dream of doing something like that and he lets them!
I would love to have that backhoe Jeep. I could dig up my neighbors yard.
Only if they wanted you to right 😊
He single-handedly taught them how to operate it.
I cant believe im still learning about these Jeeps they are simply amazing !!!!!

Very cool to see this equipment running. Have seen in old black and white adds before, but I appreciate that someone still has working examples.
Respect, to the owners of all these amazing willys. Great video thanks for sharing. Simply epic!!
Absolutely amazing!! I shore miss seeing those old jeeps in action. My Dad was a jeep man and I guess some of it rubbed of on me.
Back in the days when utility vehicles really were _utility_ vehicles.
Bring back alot of merories of seeing that stuff working when I was a KID, Long time ago.
Man I thought I was in love with Trains, Fire trucks, Ambulances, and police cars because of all the gadgets and gizmos now I have to add Jeeps to the list. I didn't know they made all these types of jeeps. Very cool
These are so awesome! These need to be made today again!
In the 1950s, Jeeps working on farms was a common sight. Many people put a 3 point hitch on the back. I put a V-8 in mine.
I'm more surprised at the amount of people who didnt know or have never seen jeeps with implements. A farmer friend of mine has an old CJ-6 with PTO that I've been trying to get for years. It needs work but the longer wheel base and PTO is too cool.
YoutubE: Hey you wanna watch some old jeeps dig in the dirt?
Me: YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSss
oh wow i accually got a heart- honestly though history is so cool
Is it weird that I read that "yyyeeesss" with Clarkson's voice?
Some of those implements look like an OSHA nightmare.
On arm Steve from the video would give your comment two thumbs up if he could.
the clip board safety warrior head will probably explode seeing machines like this in use on job sites
I've always wanted a old farm jeep.

Thanks for posting these I have never heard of these before.
still make them just on unimog chassis now. this class of vehicle is know as SEE small emplacement excavator.
Awesome! It’s interesting to see the Unimog in other films doing the same stuff and more accept going down the road at over 60mph during the same time frame. I do love the Willys!
US Hockey hall of fame in minn. has a old jeep that has been converted into a zamboni.very cool.
The first zambonis were jeeps not just that one. They got around!
Very cool! I am going to have to check this event out in person someday.
