Bingo!
One of nine CJ-3A's thus converted by the Royal Netherlands Air Force in the 1950s. They were later transferred to the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment, were this example is still on stand by. Rolba snow blower up front, powered by a Ford V8 in the back. I had to think of a WW1 tank, with the crew sitting next to the uncovered engine roaring at full speed H.

I have always believed the average Dutcher was ... a bit odd. But wedging a barking, smelly, hot, truck engine into the back of a jeep and running a spinning driveshaft out the front end, just seems too "Dutch" for words.
Did the origins of Holland's famous Occupational Health and Safety procedures arise from the accicent and injury investigations of these snowblowers?
