Nice collector piece or put it to work. these are often used for welders.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1400.  It is powered by a MB motor.

“WWII US Navy PE-95 Generator powered by a WWII Willys MB Jeep Motor serial number MB424173, great running engine. This would be a great generator to restore or use the engine for your Jeep restoration.”

Can’t tell much from the one pic.

Here’s a good price on a generator with a Willys motor.

“PE-95-G
signal Corps generator
WWII / Korean war generator

Willys Jeep motor
four-cylinder Flathead

Condition is as shown in pictures. I do have a carburetor somewhere, need to find it on the workbench. Starter windings in the generator still crank the motor over. Last fired up in 2000 and generated power. Approximately 250 hours on generator. $300 or best offer”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.

Looks in good shape.

“250amp Hobart pull behind welder/generator has 4 cylinder jeep willys motor that runs great and welder and generator also work.. just been checked out ”

UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $250.

This might be a good price on a motor.

“An older Hobart 250 amp welding generator driven by the industrial version of the Willys 4-134 flathead engine used in the CJ-2a Jeep and the MB. Brush-type generator. Electrical side was working last time I ran it 5 years ago, but the engine uses oil badly and needs and overhaul. Parts are readily available but I have too many projects. See photos. Engine is complete with generator, carb, starter, fuel pump, and should run with minimal effort. The electrical side has the main DC welding output and also a 120v dc convenience outlet for a grinder or light. See the gray machine in the photos. Cables not included in sale. $250 as is where is or make offer. Loading and delivery available at reasonable rates.

Also for sale is the green 400 amp welder. This is driven by an electric motor. Machine dates from roughly the 1950s and works well but does require 3 phase A/C or a converter box. I ran it on a converter which works fine as long as you don’t run it at full output. $200 as is where is or make offer. Loading and delivery available at reasonable rates.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** was $1200.

“army surplus 10 kw 120-240 volts single phase willys engine 4 cyl 261 hrs runs well”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $450

I’m guess the compressor itself doesn’t work?  This looks similar, yet different from the Hesse Hornet Compressor.

“Antique Jeep Air Compressor made by General Supply Co. from “L” head Jeep engine. It’s all there including governor. Motor turns free. VERY RARE!”

This is a really nice example of a Willys powered Generator.

This has a CJ-2A L Head engine.

“1954 Hobart G200 D/C welder on trailer. Uses a CJ2A four cylinder Jeep engine. There is also a 120 volt outlet on the machine for running your power tools. The machine was just restored. Valves and valve seats were reconditioned, fuel and oil lines replaced, new belts, hoses and tune up parts. Generator bearings were repacked, brushes were replaced, radiator was cleaned and pressure checked. Body panels were stripped to bare metal and repainted with automotive paint. Machine was thoroughly tested and runs and welds perfect. Is ready to weld for another 56 years”
