what to do with this winch??

[bugwugger]

Picked up a truck, purchase also included this winch. Its a Garwood 40,000 pound winch, powered by a 1948 90 Hp GM6cylinder. Has 500ft of 1 in. cable. Also fabd to 12in I beam for easy mobility. Kinda looks like a large sled. 4 speed transmission and power brake. Runs great and seems to weigh about 6000lbs. Gotta hit up the weight scale. Its hooked to the frame in the back of the duece with chains and 2in bolts :/ This "thing" pulled the duece in first gear at idle. I need it gone out of my truck, its taking up space that I need to haul things with. Would anyone be interested in this thing?? Or should I let it sit on the ground? Gimme some ideas!

MODEL # 5MBLHSTD
SERIAL# A344068

1948 Gm motor
FEA180097

You could try placing it in the classified forum.

Seriously.

Thats not a flat head.

I'm interested but I think the distance between us is the biggest issue

(nk14zp) i did research on the info plate, came up with flathead straight 6 210 hp.
I have not paid my dues to SS so I cant post right now. Didnt know if it would be a waist of time or not. I remember talking to a fella at Haspin 2011 about some tanks, cant remember his name. Figured someone with some serious machinery or (Tanks) could use this thing. I personally thought it would be a great idea for pulling cut trees out of the woods. Currently I only own 1 MV and it has this in the back so I cant haul much. Now if I had a nice 24ft trailor I could hoist full trees onto trailer via winch and cut them back at base camp :/ hmm

how much are you asking for the winch and motor....and would you be intreasted in selling to motor and trans seperate?

 

[doghead]

I recognize the fella near the pickup truck!

Looks like a Chevy engine and SM420 trans.

 

[nk14zp]

Yep.

 

[quickfarms]

that is one heck of a winch

any idea what the rated pull is?

Update: Sorry this is a 45,000 lbs. Acording to model #. I would be willing to post this for you guys on classified. Im located in Cincinnati and this runs great. Wish I could track down the year this was built . Seems to be very unique, has snatch blocks attached to the front of the i beam area. Guessing this was used at a sled too.

Look at the bottom under the drum

The motor is 40's-50s.

Most likely a 216 ci.

Look at this link, then go read your engine number and use the link to answer your question.

THANK YOU (DOGHEAD) !!!! Finally tracked down the motor!!

1948 GM 216ci Flynt Michigan

That isn't a sm465 trans. I would say its an earlier model of the 465, because the trans is to small and the top is to short, possibly a 420more then likely judging by the age of the engine.

That's what I said. in post # 8.

 

[bugwugger]

it reminds me of the flathead 6 or a inline 6 toyota motor. But the numbers checkout to be a 216ci gm. but its a 1948 motor with single carb. I cant believe for its age how well it runs. I had to fill up the gas tank which is located directly under the seat. Blew out the fuel lines and she started right up. This motor would be a great replacement for older cars that came factory with this motor.

Gotta ask, what you think you want out of it?
