This device was built to detect mines and, once detected, would auto-shift the jeep into neutral and put on the brakes. This article was published in the January 1946 edition of Popular Mechanics.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Kevin let me know that the jeep has a complete Bobcat fiberglass body and is updated with a Pinto motor. The drivetrain is stock. He says it is nice. The seller is entertaining offers.
“flat fender glass body runs good pinto 2000cc engine runner driver”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1800. This looks like a good price and includes a winch. Note the customized windshield, too. The seller did correct the V-6 to a Flathead 6.
(08/03/2012) It looks like the rear axle has been updated, so that part of the running gear isn’t original. The driver side entrance has been chopped a bit.
“1944 willys it has a flat head 6 motor,running gear is all orgianal,it has a big ass winch on it that works, runs and drives but needs to be restored…call 855-6091”
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”
This looks good, but I’ve heard it needs a little work.
