Ammo Trailer?????

Postby fightingiron » Sat Dec 24, 2011 7:24 am

I came across this on Craigs List. I do not know anything about "Hand Carts" so I thought I would post it here. Is this a military ammo cart?

Looks like a Jeep and some type of farm implement rims gave it life to be used as a Lawn mower tractor.

The rims are not Hand cart. Would have been a great find if it was some type of Prototype cart.

I figured at the least the rims were wrong as they did not look like anything I found in pictures of hand carts. What I found odd was the Willys logo and what appears to be two mounting positions above the logo and to either side. It also looks like it is made out of sheet metal. Jon

It's made from a tail gate from a CJ-2A. That's why it has WILLYS on it.
