I am looking to put a winch on my M36E3 I have a complete winch setup from an M35A2 So I have the winch and the bumper, the frame extensions and thewinch wounts.
I have also managed to track down an engine pump to drive the hydraulic motor.
I am looking for the winch controls the tank, lines, filter, and the motor on the winch as well as the adpater coller and the mounting bracket.
Now
another thing i was looking at incase I am unable to find these parts is to get some general hydraulic parts to make this work. Basically from want i have found in the TM the pump is always turinging. I could get a regulaer tank, and filter and have just a valave on the front of the bumper or in the cab to control the direction and the speed of the winch. Think log spliter parts. That has a control that makes the piston go forward and back, has a tank and filter. SO i would be good to go. I also think i know where a 5 ton hydraulic winch might be hiding. SO imight be able to get that.
I am not worried about origional US GI because the truck is a one of a kind. I am also going to be working on bobbing it this spring. IT's too long and i would get more use out of it if it was shorter.
Prior to bobbing it I will offer it for sale if some one wants to save it in it's origional configuration. Otherwise I will bob it.
BUt in the mean time looking for winch parts.
