Not a tractor?? Maybe not but the old Jeeps were quite unique. As indicated, available optional equipment was almost legion: belt pulleys, front windless, cyclebar mowers, etc, etc, etc, . Willys really tried to promote them as a tractor �alternate�. I have an owners manual for the 1948 CJ2A & it is loaded with charts & data for such things as fuel consumption, torque & horsepower curves, drawbar pull/speed, power take off & pulley data, again etc, etc, etc. Even has instructions on how to plow a field with 2-12s or 14s.
I remember an older, retired farmer some 50+ years ago had one as his �toy�. Used it to help where he could as in disking, harrowing, hauling hay, also etc.! His best use for it was to run the 5 miles or so to town for parts, supplies and the daily �barley pops�.
BTW- The old "Go Devel" 4 banger produced 105ftlb torque @ 2000rpm, 60hp @ 3600rpm.
