Highlander 06-16-2005, 08:03 PM So I run into this kid today who tells me the guy at work is selling an old Willys, with a post hole setup, and a grader blade. I know these were pretty rare options on the Willys, but does anyone know whay a rig like this is worth? I 'm thinking it's a restorers dream. How about any resto Jeep sites? Any info guys ? :confused: Drunk tank 06-16-2005, 09:15 PM whoa... I never knew they were tractors!!!

I would stay away from buying such a rig. Most were very abused. I remember watching them shake violently while digging. This type of vibration can't be good. Bart CJ5 06-17-2005, 05:00 AM Oh yah. Trenchers were the most popular but I've got one at home that I bet knowbody has heard of. CJ Digger. I don't have the file here so I can't post the pic. You'll just have to wait. v8cjmark 06-17-2005, 09:08 AM try going to willystech site, they love the old stuff there. rcurrier44 06-17-2005, 09:10 AM My dad has a couple out in the sheads at the USDA. They haven't been used for years and have around 15K miles each on them. They have all kinds of attatchments like the hole digger, field plows, mowers, sweepers, sprayers, snow plows.... it looks like the gov went all out and bought every attatchment they could for them. He doesn't think they have ever seen any highway miles...they basicly stayed right at the facility.

I have always seen them up on trailers. I would imagine they are pretty poor for hill climbing with all that extra weight hanging off the back end. :shaking: :flipoff2: Bart CJ5 06-18-2005, 08:06 AM As Promised http://www.hrja.org/CJ5diggerwhole.jpg http://www.hrja.org/CJ5diggerFrontside.jpg http://www.hrja.org/CJ5digsideback.jpg http://www.hrja.org/cj5diginter.jpg FOr your reading pleasure http://www.hrja.org/CJ5Digger.htm MrWillys 06-18-2005, 01:15 PM This one here is just "Too Cool".
