Monroe Hydraulic Lift Brochure

This Monroe Lift Brochure arrived while I was on vacation. It’s a great little brochure. The FarmJeep page has information on the Monroe lift, including this Monroe lift parts list.

Also, if you’ve never visited Clint Dixon’s Dodge Power Wagon Monroe Lift page, it’s worth a look. There he has some detailed drawing of the Monroe Lifts. He also has a great photo page that shows a Dodge Power Wagon and the Monroe Lift using different implements.

Love Tractor and Hydraulic Lift System

Speaking of Hydraulic Lifts, the Love Tractor Company (or perhaps more accurately Love Industries — I’m not clear on the difference) made a lift and also sold a willys-engine powered tractor.

According to the Standard Catalog of Farm Tractors 1890-1980, by C.H. Wendel, Love Tractor offered model J51 that was built around a Willys CJ-2A engine. This may have been a repurposed Empire Tractor, because at least one source suggests Love purchased eighteen Empire Tractors when Empire dissolved. Anyone know more about the ‘Willys’ Love Tractor?

Love Tractor also created a hydraulic three-point lift system. At CJ3a.info is a page devoted to the lift. At the Farm Jeep site is a scan of the brochure.

The February 1947 issue of Popular Science has an article on the Love Hydraulic Lift System distributed by Newgren.

There is also an article about the Love system and Newgren in a 1949 issue of Farm implement news – Volume 70 – Page 56.

Photo Featuring Holden Jeeps

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

Marc found this great photo of two Holden modified jeeps.

“This No Reserve auction is for an original vintage WW2 Official U.S. Marine Corps Photo that measures approx. 8″ x 10”. This is an original photo, not a re-print or copy. Photo is 70 years old and may show expected age. Some photos may have small creasing, pin holes and/or show slight yellowing. The caption on the reverse reads in part …

NOW IT’S A HOSPITAL — Jeeps, fitted with stretcher racks, pull up to this wrecked Jap building on Saipan which the Marines are using for a hospital. The zig-zag camouflage didn’t help much as evidenced by the hits scored by Naval and artillery fire in the early part of the campaign …
OFFICIAL U.S. MARINE CORPS PHOTO”
