Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
UPDATE: I’ve added the updated scans. This is actually a nicely illustrated brochure. I don’t think my scans really captured the color.
Here’s a brochure I’ve never seen that I just purchased on eBay. My guess is it a late 1940s brochure. I’ll update it with better pics when it arrives.
I have the original HY-LO pump on my 1948 CJ2A, the most dependable pump built, so easy to rebuild if needed, but I neve have had to. Back in the 70’s after a big snow storm and doing some plowing, I was cruising down Route 80 near Paterson NJ when I spotted a CJ7 on the shoulder of 80. I stopped to see if I could help, happened to be a guy from my local area, his Meyers Electro- Lift plow had drained the battery, was a common problem back then, the main reason I preferred the HY-LO. I gave him a jump start and followed him back to Paterson.
Bottom right, page two; 6 volt electrically operated hydraulic controls.
Wutt’s up wit dat? Optional? New & improved?
Juice Newt … good question. I didn’t know what that meant, but after some googling, I learned it wasn’t an uncommon phrase ‘back in the day’ that’s now become obsolete (at least that phrasing of it has).
The “Write for Circulars” encourages readers of the Monarch brochure to write the company for additional brochures, because (implied by the verbiage under the title) Monarch offers a variety of products for a wide variety of Trucks and Tractors.
At least, that’s my take on it.

Thanks for the info Mike! If no painfully obvious already, I know nothing about the hydraulic aftermarket tools and parts, having never used or owned them.
Wow, these scans are much more detailed than the ones before, thanks Dave for your time and effort.
Hydraulic controls! What will they think of next?
