“1947 Jeep Willys Jeep-A-Trench “Auburn,NE model: w-86 serial: w-916”
Jeep Collectors, there aren’t to many of these still around. This is the older version of the trencher. PTO driven mounted on the jeep. Trencher is in relatively good shape. Frame on the jeep seems good. Transmission and transfer case were removed to replace the clutch but not reinstalled. Selling for my neighbor “he will be present at sale”. His father removed the grill and Radiator at some time also. All removed parts are still on hand. Engine condition unknown, it still has the governor mounted on it. Car dolly is a possible addition to sale. $$. My nmbr, (4wun7)-44o-83too5. Northfield,MN area, local pickup only no help needed on the sale. Offers are accepted. Fyi, ID tag on the Jeep is missing. Leave a message if I don’t answer. Thanks”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $1800. Serial number 57548 91880 indicates it is a 1959 model.

(11/30/2023) Mike spotted this cool find. It appears to be a 1957-1964, but maybe someone else can narrow it down a little more.

Bill’s selling this hard-to-find transmission PTO box. Thanks to Andy for sharing it.

go-for-digger-trencher-transmission-box

“Go-for-Digger Trenchers were built on Willys and Kaiser-era Jeep CJ5’s duallys from the early 1960’s to the early 1970’s. There has to be a few more of these left out there, maybe one in need of parts…

Power transmission box PTO for a Go-for-Digger trencher with a build date around 1969/1970. As you see it. Spins freely. It’s one of 3 parts that I have left from a resto-modded CJ-5 that I built.

Another part is a correct front bumper with the solid steel bar reinforcement and blade lifting chain. Pics show bumper still attached.

The third part is the full-length set of 3/8” (I think) steel outer frame reinforcements that came on the GFD Trencher (and maybe the backhoe). Better pics soon, but if you know these things, you know what I mean. They are on the floor in last pic.

Pick up in Lancaster, PA.”
