    There were all kinds of tools made for jeeps. One around here had a chain trencher on it. Several were used to pull hay balers. They would go slow in the field yet speed to the next job on the road. Saw one pull a plow that an IH tractor couldn't get traction enough to pull.

    About those cheap jeeps, I had a guy that stopped at my shop who attended govt auctions years ago. He said they would sell a whole field of jeeps as one lot. The big boys would pool their money,buy the lot, then devide them up. The individual had no chance.

    Ahab he drove thru them till they were a pile of splinters. Had to scout out the ones with basements tho. I believe life mag did a story on him. The govt had torched the crankshaft and he either found a crank or engine. 911 I heard these same stories that's what prompted the question.

    There was tons of military surplus for sale after the war. Dad bought three jeep engines in wooden boxes. Quite exciting for a kid to unpack. There was a guy that bought a tank and used it to demo houses.

    I know today they bring a lot of stuff back and rebuild it. There is a place in the south west that does this. I was in that area a while back and saw trailer with an Abrahms on it minus the turret, had a push tractor behind him to get over the hills.
