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?

Look what I found when I tried to find more on the Jeep
Hi All
Hanno caught my interest with his posting of the Jeep, so I went searching on the web to see if I could find more, didn't but I did find this one that I thought people might find interesting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X02t-...eature=related . Some of the related links show similar snow blowers on regular civilian 4 wheel drive pickups that didn't seem to work as well. I suspect you need the real low gearing. Sent the link to a couple of M37 owners in the club and they suspect that the truck had to be re-engined with a V8. I have seen similar blower units as shown on the Jeep but slightly larger that had their own V4 engine mounted on top of the blower. Cheers Phil
