The attached photos are of a winch I rediscovered while changing storage units. I am not sure where it came from of if it is even military in origin, any help on the ID is appreciated. There are no markings on it that I can see except for the oil level marking script?

I have watched GSA and the other surplus sites but the good heavy duty machines with the long reach I need always go really high, I am now watching Market Place on FB but the little manual machine is looking better and better!
I have two sets of travel curtains that are in good shape except for the seams, the thread is just rotting away making them useless! I have tried having they resown but no go, too thick for all the local upholsters, even the leather guys won't touch them. I have seen several YouTube videos...
Thanks, but back in March I was contacted by a guy in Florida who had the frame but no windows! I drove 3200miles, but I now have windshield frame, frozen but a decent frame! Now on to find a good diagram of the passenger seat!
For the tires to fit, I had to lift the CUCV three inches. I have toyed with the idea of fabing up some spacers for the trailer body to compensate but it looks like the juice is just not worth the squeeze!
I have three stencil machines in storage, I just have to find them! The big one is easy to find but it is the size of a card table and weighs a ton. the two smaller font ones are in hiding!
I have a half dozen of these 101s, this one is on display with my CUCV at the Arkansas Air and Military Museum at Drake Field. It won't be getting any loads and just driving around the air field it rolls real nice, and looks real good! But with it's new paint job and new shoes I may have to...
I have 37.5 tires on my M1008A1 and the standard tires on my M101A2. The trailer is significantly lower than my CUCV, so I tried the 37s on the trailer. The look is better but the change only raised the trailer by about 3/4 of an inch, I expected more! Any way, they fit fine, no rubbing...
Not yet, holidays have top priority, I plan on going down to the museum tomorrow to work on the M715 and run the wrecker to air up the tires(has to be done every two weeks- CTIS issues) I will try the strap wrench idea, tried the hammer already!
