If you watch closely, Spence and Junior show up several places in the film; in Texas, in Arizona, and they also play the part of the two guys cutting wood with a two-man crosscut saw while the Alice Chalmers tractor sits idle in the woodlot.

Spence has a very strong resemblence to William McIntyre - at the time, the head of the Monroe Auto Equipment Company. Monroe produced the 3-point lift used on the Power-Wagon, as well as Jeep pickup tucks, Universals, Farm Jeeps, Jeep Tractors, UTC Terratrac tractors, and LeRoi ag tractors.

Some of the scenes in the Power Wagon movie, as well as still photos used in Power-Wagon sales literature and Jeep literature, were filmed on the McIntyre farm in Georgia. I believe Monroe had a hand in creating the film and would not be suprised if Spence were indeed Mr. McIntyre. He also appears in a lot of vintage Jeep photographs and literature operating Monre equipped Jeeps on Charles Sorensen's Cesor Farms in Michigan.

Todd Somers and I have put on some equipment demonstrations at several of the Vintage Power Wagon Rallys over the years. At one show, where we were cutting wood with my 3-point lift attached cordwood saw, Robert Metcalfe remarked that we looked just like "Spence and Junior". It kind of stuck. Spence has become Todd's alter ego. I am Junior.
