These posthole diggers were built by Federal Machine and Welder out of Warren, Ohio.

UPDATE: I’ve added some photos of an actual Portarator.

Merton Day obtained this brochure years ago. It’s not a jeep specific item, but it is easy to see how one of these generators hooked to a jeep could prove useful.  The Portarator was installed in the engine compartment for power tools or other electric devices (such as a margarita blender, should the mood strike).

B&B manufacturing produced other Portarator products, as this brochure demonstrates, but I couldn’t find any Portarator’s for sale. Here’s the brochure Merton saved:

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

This rare Warn Hub Selective Drive owner’s manual was saved for decades by Merton Day. His Grandson, Frank Day, generously sold this along with some last-of-a-kind Free Lock hub information to me.

This owner’s manual is one long, two-sided brochure measuring 20 1/2″ x 2 7/8″ that folds up into a 2 7/8″ x 2 7/8″ square (the top is to the far right of the first image below). Here is the original version. This could be called the front:

And the back.

To improve readability, the images have been halved. Front:

Back:

There’s not date on this brochure, but I’d guess 1956 or slightly later. There’s no sense that the CJ-5 is “new” in the brochure.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

I haven’t run across that Warn logo with the jets flying.
