Willys MB Military WW2 Jeep Front and Rear Axles with Springs – $175 Lowville, NY

I’m not well versed in MB parts, so happy to get an assist and update the post, they are full floating axles so they could be the part. I know the MB stuff had some different adjusters for the shoes at times, there are some different looking shields on the front axles on top of the knuckles.

Let me know what you think.

As far as Axles go, these are nice looking for sure worth $175 all day long it’s a good deal if they are half decent inside. I don’t see the risk here for the price load and go, then figure it out at home, pop the covers and see what’s awaiting, I can smell it now, wonder why they don’t make an “Old Axle” candle scent, or even Old Spice folks out there, there is an untapped market here! (You don’t have to wonder why we will never match Dave in number of posts when I get down the rabbit hole on a set of $175 axles and the $80 Speedo, but these are decent looking parts to save!)

Information from seller:

Original Front and Rear Axles that were removed from a 1944 Willys MB WW2 Military Jeep. Leaf spring sets and steering tie rod assy. are included. $175 for all. Thanks for looking!

XM818 5 Ton Tractor Truck 6×6 – Auction

May 27, 2025 • CATEGORIES: Unique Jeeps, Unusual This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Here’s one you don’t see every day (well, frankly I’ve never seen one before, so…)

XM818 5 Ton Tractor Truck 6×6

Location Apollo, PA 15613

These 6×6 trucks were made in many different configurations, beginning in 1951 (and yes built by Kaiser as well as AM General in later years). Lots of good information about the series here on Wikipedia, and also on SteelSoldiers.com (a great website by the way, if you’ve never visited).

Here’s a bit on the XM818 from Wikipedia:

“Tractor trucks were used to tow semi-trailers up to 37,500 lb (17,000 kg) with 15,000 lb (6,800 kg) on their fifth wheel. Semi-tractor/trailers have to stay on relatively flat ground, and are not rated for full off-road use. On improved roads they could tow up to 55,000 lb (25,000 kg) with 25,000 lb (11,000 kg) on their fifth wheel.”

Pretty significant towing capacity(!) and although the bid is only ~$300 currently, it is listed as non-running, so I wonder…how would you ever get this home?

This would definitely be a cool project if you have the time, knowledge and space! (And I’m betting you’d have the only one when you show up to your local “Cars and Coffee”!)

1955 Willys CJ3B $18,000 Rigby, ID

1955 Willys CJ3B $18,000 Rigby, ID

Not much description, but if everything is new and rebuilt, you cant build this for the price listed, maybe they have a build book you can review the process of what went into this.

If it’s someone you know, happy to post more information.

Interior looks great, motor looks fresh, some paint details need some attention, maybe rework the rear lights there are some nice options for those around. If Im going that big would be nice to have some flood light off something like those in addition to the extra safety stuff for brakes and turn signal.

The factory lighting at times is such a small target now a days.

Information from seller:

Motor rebuilt professionally. New everything.

1949 Jeep Willys $10,999 Bozeman, MT

Steep on the price here IMO wow, but it is OBO, I would be so far apart on price would not toss an offer, but it’s good to see the rigs and what’s out there at times.

It does have a PTO winch out front, not sure on the exact set up here only a couple pictures handy to pull from.

I probably should have passed on posting this one, but here we go!

Information from seller:

2025 Memorial Day

2025 Memorial Day

As we pause to remember and honor those who gave their lives this and every Memorial Day, I took a look back at some of the past generations and how the Jeep and Willys were used throughout various Parades and Celebrations.

1950 Rome, NY

1955 San Bernardino, California 

1956 Patchouge, NY

 

1950 Westminster, MD

Parades and large events can be really tricky to coordniate all the moving parts, this one must have been interesting when a Jeep was stolen from the Parade set up in MD during their 1950 Parade. I was not able to locate the resolution to this one!

SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY!!! TOMORROW 5/25 HACKETTSTOWN, NJ

Update: 5/25 6:30PM EST…

I posted an update on OWF of today’s adventures was a great show and fun time, jump over there if you wanted to check it out.

https://www.oldwillysforum.com/forum/index.php?threads/230_ohc-1963-wagon.29911/page-8#post-401547

 

Taking the Wagon, got it cleaned up and ready for the show tomorrow. If anyone stops in track me down, typically in a Purple shirt and will be volunteering so will be all around. My buddy is always a good helper.

Almost that time, been a lot of rain this year but it looks like a wonderful Sunday should be a great turnout based on the previous rain outs at so many other events. Either way this is Rain or Shine, but looking nice for tomorrow. Stop by and see us, I’m helping in the Vendor Food Truck area and then pretty much all over where needed.

Getting the Wagon out today and geared up for tomorrow at M&M Mars Hackettstown, NJ

Also please don’t forget next weeks The Willys Jeep Rally in College Corner, OH. Will be posting reminders about this show next week as well.

Jeep Transmission (and Transfer Case) – Auction

May 24, 2025 • CATEGORIES: Auctions, Parts, Transfer Cases, Transmissions This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Need some help identifying this one, so please comment if you know what vehicle(s) this might fit…

Caught sight of this auction for a “Transmission” (but also includes a Transfer Case), as I’m looking for a spare Dana 18:

Jeep Transmission

Location: Reedsburg, WI 53959

This is a good example of a possible gem available at auction — the current bid is only $1, and it’s listed as “pickup only” – so if you’re in the area (perhaps Madison is the closest city?) and this is something you might need, I expect you may be able to pick this up quite inexpensively (would probably cost more in gas than the winning bid).
