FC-150 as a Farm Jeep – by Barry @ Farm Jeep
www.farmjeep.com has focused on the Jeep CJ series. While researching snowplows last winter, I came across this eWillys post – https://www.ewillys.com/2010/08/13/1957-fc-150-jamestown-nc-ebay/ Here is evidence that at least one individual used the FC-150 as a Farm Jeep.
Fast forward to the Spring Willys Reunion in North Canton, OH. While talking to some friends, I saw an FC-150 pull into the motel parking lot. As the driver parked, I could see a PTO on the rear! An FC-150 Farm Jeep in the wild. I quickly tracked down the owner, Seth Hensler. Seth, who goes by the name of “redeye_garage” on social media, was kind enough to give me a tour of the FC’s PTO setup.
For demonstration purposes, Seth has attached a fertilizer spreader. You can see more details in this picture.
Seth has a YouTube channel where you can see more of the FC-150, including this one that shows the PTO working at an antique machinery show –
We will soon add FC-150 information from Seth and others to the Farm Jeep site. In the meantime, please let us know if you have seen an FC-150 as a Farm Jeep at a show or in the wild. You may leave a comment here or contact me at barry@farmjeep.com
