Here is a great vintage photo of a Willys Jeep with a snowplow. Does anyone have more information about it?

I came across this video of a FC 170 forward control Jeep snowblower on the FC Connection website. I know…with winter just around the corner, we are trying not to think about snow, but damn, I would love to be out there blowing snow every day with this rig!
NOTE:If you are reading this via email or Facebook, you may need to go to the Off Road Action website to view the video.

I have no information on this Willys Jeep, but it looks like an awesome snowplow machine!

John Rugge wants the world to see his dad’s ’45 MB, which was purchased right after the end of World War II. The photo, circa 1950-something, was taken at the Jeep’s residence in Vermont, where it served plow duty in the winter and log-hauling detail in the summer. It was finally sold in the late ’50s.

Reader Henri Raab sent this video in. According to the website link he sent:
“In January 1926, Time magazine reported: “Having used the motor car for almost every other conceivable purpose, leading Detroit automobile makers have now organized a company entitled “Snow Motors Inc.,” to put out a machine which will negotiate the deepest snowdrifts at six to eight miles an hour. The new car will consist of a Ford tractor power-plant mounted on two revolving cylinders instead of wheels—something on the order of a steam roller.”

Thanks for the link Henri! Does anyone have more information about this interesting rig?

You have to check out this old photo I came across on Tom’s Flickr Page. Being that it has the blade on the front, I wonder if it was used for snow? also check out the old Warn 8274 winch on the flatdeck.
