PTO Drum Attachment on eBay

• CATEGORIES: News This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Anyone recognize this?  The seller is unclear if this works with a jeep pto or not.

“Probably one of the rarest rear PTO attachments I have ever seen. This was believed to have come with a pile of F-12 parts. The small pto size shaft would lend itself towards Farmall, as would the distance from pto shaft to drawbar mount. Part numbers start with an unfamiliar C4CXXX. Numbers do include C4C299 C4C300 C4C303. It is also possible that one of the letters “C” could be a “G”.

Engage and disengage lever works fine.

So the question remains…Farmall, John Deere, Willys Jeep, Cletrac, Caterpillar, Avery or some other oddball.

We look forward to hearing from someone who knows what this truly fits.

We can be reached at 563-387-7705 should you have questions”

Tour-de-France Jeeps

UPDATE:  This was supposed to be yesterday’s top post.  Well, it still works today.  Besides the below pics, here are some additional pics on Facebook.

Bruce and I exchanged a few emails about Elvis and jeeps.  I’m still not certain how, but after a few searches for Elvis, I found myself  learning more about the Tour-de-France and Jeeps. This was quite a fun search.  Elvis will have to wait until later . . .

This is a restored Tour-de-France jeep that may be an MB.  I found the photo below on Flickr:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/dprezat/3625273265/

Yul Brenner ‘Dies’ in a Jeep

Yesterday, Ann’s mom was watching a TV Movie called “The Journey” starring Yul Brenner and Deborah Kerr.  I didn’t pay much attention, as I was cooking dinner, until the end of the movie when Yul Brenner stands next to a MB.  The next think I know, he’s dead in the MB.  Ann had her mom rewind it and we captured a couple pictures.  Nice Jeep!

One moment, Yul is alive:

The next moment, he isn’t:
