Only the early CJ-2s would be considered "Agrijeeps". Willys-Overland
stopped using this term beginning with the third series CJ-2 prototypes.
(which would have had the stamped "JEEP" on the hood, windshield and
tailgate.) Regular early CJ-2As used in agriculture were just CJ-2As.
There was a model called the Farm Jeep later on that had the implement lift
standard equipment.
> As of 1999 only eight have been found and only one has been restored.
As of today, there are now 10 of these that have surfaced. Another one
surfaced just a couple months ago in NY.
