Charles forwarded some more pics of the Belgian Army. In the first pic, the seat on the grass suggests it may have been used as a lawn chair.

1949 CJ-2A Aurora, CO **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
(05/09/2014) Two interesting things about this CJ-2A caught my eye:
1) This has the hood gutter attached to the hood hinge under the hood.
2) The front bumper connects like a 3A rather than a 2A.
I’m wondering if this is a very late 1948 CJ-2A or a rare 1949 CJ-2A. The serial number might be worth a look on this one. According to an old post by Bill Norris, the gutter was standard on CJ-2As after 193800. After #215649 the bumper was changed to a CJ-3A design (if I am interpreting this page correctly).
“This is a 1949 Willy’s Jeep. The body is in great shape, straight with no major rust. The paint is faded in many places. The jeep runs well with the original flat 4 engine. The electrical system has been upgraded to a twelve volt system. An under dash heater and electric windsheild wiper have been installed. Please call/text/email for more information.”

Empire Tractors: The Tractor Built From Willys Parts
The Empire Tractor was made in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, by the Empire Tractor Corporation from 1946-1948. Leveraging the Willys drive train, Empire produced two different models: Model 88 and Model 90. You might have seen one of those tractors at a Willys show or for sale, but sightings are rare. The primary reason for their scarcity is that of the approximately 6,660 made around 5,370 were exported leaving about 1,290 available in the US and Canada.
The history behind the Empire Tractor company is complicated. It involves Willys Overland Motor’s largest shareholder, Empire Securities, and a successful international business man named Frank Cohen, who was investigated multiple times for suspicious financial dealings.
Here’s how and why only a few tractors were made . . .
EMPIRE SECURITIES:
In 1932 George Ritter, Ward Canaday, and H.J. Leonard organized Empire Securities, Inc. They launched it as a holding company to process claims against the Willys-Overland Company, which had gone into receivership. In 1935 Empire Securities offered to buy up all the Willys-Overland Company bonds that were due two years earlier in 1933 so they could reorganize the Willys-Overland Company. In October of 1936, Empire Securities successfully rebirthed the Willys-Overland Company as Willys-Overland Motors, Inc., and became the largest shareholder. Several years later the Empire Securities founders used Willys Overland stock to partly fund a business deal with a man named Frank Cohen.

1948 CJ-2A Eureka, MT **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.
(03/31/2014) This has a combat rim. It still needs some work.
“I pulled this CJ out of the bushes 2 winters ago and brought her back to life. The L-head 4 cylinder purrs and all running gear works. Everything is original except for the S10 bench seat and Wrangler bikini top. New parts: alternator, battery, brake shoes, one new hub, new master cylinder and all new slave cylinders and new brake lines, tires good with all new inner tubes,new window glass. There is no rust anywhere. Years ago someone cut rust out of the passenger side of tub and riveted in some steel. I stayed with that style on the driver side (ratjeep style). Original color was green then repainted brown and now has a nice green/brown patina finish. A great rig to cruise around the lake or your big back yard or in town. What doesn’t work? The only gauge that works is the ammeter. I pulled the top off the transmission and it is solid,but the syncro’s don’t work (double clutcher). The engine smokes at start up but the compression is perfect. I assume the valve guides are worn. Leave this little Willys as is or great resto project.”
