Toy Jeep Collection


Ronnie

Recommended Posts

Those of you familiar with my jeep collection know that I am constantly adding to it. I recently found this small Dinky Toys Jeep on eBay. It, as you can see was in bad shape. I did a search and found out that I could buy replacement tires. I purchased the jeep and ordered some tires. Then I cleaned the jeep....stripped the jeep....polished the jeep....washed it again....then painted it. After it dried I added some details to the painting. Hope you all like it. It was enjoyable to do. Here are some photos from before...in the middle ....and the after.

It's a PTO (Power Take Off) for all sorts of agricultural equipment.

 

This model originally came in red or green, both with a black windshield. There's also a military version made for the US market, but that one is rare.

Thanks Lars. Mike it is like early MB said a PTO. The first post war jeeps were built with the farmer in mind.

It was a fun project. I picked up a Land Rover and will do the same to it. Beats sitting around watching tv.

Here are a couple of jeeps I've just added to the collection. The jeep wagon is a newly made Diecast model but the old CJ5 is an old model that was given to Willys executives. At least that is what I have read.

Thanks.

Here is a really cool all hand made jeep. I picked this up earlier this year and may have shown it but not on this thread. This thing is amazing.

Thanks.

Next up. I can no longer remember the maker of this 1/16th metal die cast jeep and I purchased it years ago. Loved the details.

Ronnie probably has one so please add the details,

Yeah I think that is the Danbury Mint jeep. It came with the .50 or the canvas top. You could display it either way. I have two. So I display one with the gun and one with the top up. I also have the rocket launcher version. Here is a photo. The best I have at the moment.

Thanks.

That´s a nice Jeep collection, Ronnie. Could you please post a close-up of the Leadership trophy, thanks!

Yes. I will be glad to when I am back in the office. That trophy was given to me by a Tanker.

 A PTO gearbox with the drum pulley attached...the PTO drive was attached to the transfer case, and the two PTO units connected by a PTO shaft...

 

just admiring all the jeeps when I saw that...
