Fall 2020 Dispatcher Magazine
The Fall 2020 Dispatcher Magazine reached my door this week. Usually, the fall issue would include a report or two on this summer’s jeep events, but thanks to the sneaky coronavirus, will have to wait for events until next year. In the meantime, you can read about Jim Allen’s piece on the Jeepster Convertible and an interesting non-jeep look at a vehicle that always intrigued me: the Tucker Combat Car.

Any Seattle Area Stratton Hydraulic Lifts?
Anyone in the Seattle area have a Stratton Hydraulic Lift? A man named Ernie lives in the Seattle area (don’t know where just yet) and it was his family’s Cleveland, Ohio, machine shop that built the Stratton Lifts. We are hoping that if he sees one in person that it will jog his memory for some stories about them.
Email Barry Thomas at barry@farmjeep.com or me at d@deilers.com if you know of anyone.
You can read more about Ernie and his Machine shop here: https://www.farmjeep.com/2020/11/08/stratton-lift-builder-found-us/
The machine shop is still in business and, if there is enough interest, they may even be willing to manufacture some parts.
