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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .
This brochure was available via eBay at some point. The images are from worth point. Cool brochure! You can see other loaders and images at this Farm Collector page.
Here’s a brochure posted back in 2013 of a 1948 Baldwin brochure:
Interesting setup, somewhat cumbersome, not sure what that line from top of pulley to over the windshield is for. I wonder how many of these units were sold? My guess, not a big seller.
Mike, that line should be the trip line to empty the bucket. Pull back on it and it releases a catch and the weight of the load tips the bucket. Probably the rear weight of the bucket resets it when empty, thus the “automatically swings back to loading position”. Cumbersome, but an inexpensive barnyard or outdoor stall cleaner. Had a similar trip bucket on a 3-pt hitch in back of an 8N tractor. Had a cord you’d pull to empty it and the weight balance empty would reset it.
Yes Barney…….I had a trip loader on my old Case 300 tractor and it worked just as you described. I’m sorry, but when I look at this brochure and setup…..two words come to mind ……Rube Goldberg !
Allan, I sure do agree!
