The
Farm Jeep 
There are a few early civilian Jeeps known as Agrijeeps and in
the early 1950s Willys officially produced a stripped-down CJ-3A
as the official "Jeep Tractor," and a slightly less
stripped down "Farm Jeep" as seen the ad
to the right from 1951. For our purposes Farm Jeeps are Willys
Jeep (CJ-2As, CJ-3As, CJ-3Bs, CJ-5s, or CJ-6s) equipped with the
optional power take-off (PTO) and aftermarket hydraulic implement
lifts. These Jeeps are 4WD ¼ ton trucks that also perform as small
farm tractors, this combination makes them Farm Jeeps.
Paul Lawson, Barry’s father-in-law and Evan’s grandfather, owned
3 “flat fender” Jeeps, including one with a 3 point hitch and
PTO. When we (Barry and Evan) began restoring our 1947 Willys
CJ-2A with a factory PTO, we immediately began searching and researching
the necessary parts to convert our Jeep into a Farm Jeep. This
website is an attempt to share the information we have gathered
and document our progress in the restoration of the ’47 CJ-2A,
the early ('49 or '50) CJ-3A and the other associated Farm Jeep
projects.
We are already indebted to many generous Jeepers and antique tractor
lovers for their time and contributions of pictures, diagrams,
information, and parts sources.
Thanks,
Barry and Evan
