Flattie Wanted: Trade for Snowmobile & Trailer? Central Ma

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

Mike wrote to me yesterday.  He’s looking to trade for a jeep.

Mike writes, “I discovered your website about a month ago while looking for a willys to fix up. I am looking for a 1940s or early ’50s willys that someone is willing to trade for a snowmobile and 2 place trailer (est. value of $2500). I am hoping you may be able to help me with this as i haven’t had much luck on my own. i would like to find one that needs some work, but not something i need to start from scratch with. as long as the motor isn’t frozen and there aren’t any holes in the body, i think i could work with that. I am located in central Ma, so something within 10hrs drive would be preferred.”

So, if you have anything you think Mike might like, contact him at: m.holm.sfd at gmail.com or contact me d@ewillys.com.

Hesse Hornet Info Wanted

• CATEGORIES: Features, Industrial-Welder-Generator, wanted This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

The Hesse Hornet was an air compressor manufactured by the Hess Manufacturing Company in the late 1940s(?).  The compressor used a CJ-2A engine to run, but only pistons 1 & 4.  The middle two pistons were used to compress air.  Keith recently bought one of these and was going to part it out, but changed his mind and now wants to restore it.  However, there isn’t much online about it.  Below are the links we know about it so far.  If you know of any additional info, please add it to the comments.

Wanted: 6-Wheeled Truck from Memphis, Tn

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

No pics provided.  I did a search for 6-wheeled trucks, but didn’t find any.

“While I was stationed at Millington in 1978 I helped a local man build a six wheel Willys Pickup truck. We lengthened the truck and added a second rear axle. I recently bought a 1950 Willys truck to restore and I am trying to get in touched with the owner of the truck I helped build. I would like to get some pictures of the work we did to this truck.”

The buyer is looking for a specific truck that was in the family.

“I am looking for a 1962 Willys pickup that looks similar to the one in the photos seen here. My grandfather purchased it new and drove it everyday until 1994. There is a long story with this vehicle but to make it short, I would greatly appreciate any information leading to it’s location. I heard it was sold to somebody in southern Cal so I’m posting here. The original C.A. black plate begins with M52.”
