John Ittel’s first “car” at age 16 was a 1947 Model CJ2A Jeep (equipped with a PTO) that he used on the family farm. He’s had firsthand experience with these machines. Like many farmers in the second half of the 20th century, John operated a farm business and worked a full-time job. He still managed to have time to restore a few antique tractors and owned a couple of Jeeps. In 1985, an ad for a 1946 Farm Jeep started him on the road to his outstanding collection of these farm machines.
