Any body know the original material? Maybe dimensions?

It seems fine, no more leaks than there were before. I think I got lucky because the pin bent over and got jammed between the drum and housing. I used the winch reverse to straighten out enough to remove. For some reason my shear pin is 5/16" and I made some brass ones cause i read the shear pin...

So today I was winding in the cable on my winch, I notice that it was aittle loose. I locked in using the drum lock. Fixed the cable then started to winch again... Then BOOM!!! I shut down the winch, and realized That I forgot the drum lock in the locked position. managed to take apart the lock...

Hey great news!! the winch brake is reversible also!!. I took the brake cover off today, and disconnected the band, cleaned up the inside a bit, and then I saw that thre was a small plug at the top of the housing. Then I realized, I could just flip the band around, run the bolt through the top...

what about the brake assembly? The way the winch is now, is the exact configuration that I would want, except that the load brake is opposite. In my configuration, the load brake would be "on" while in feeding if placed in a deuce configuration...if you guys get my drift...let me know

Hello all, I didn't know if there was a better place to ask this than here so here goes. I bought a winch off of a deuce. I am going to place the winch centrally mounted on my '79 f250. My only problem is that the direction the my pto will be turning, when my truck is in reverse (cable will come...

yes, I mean a 5 ton winch (10,000lb) off of a Deuce, sorry for the confusion...

yes, it freewheels just fine. I read all the tm's for winching also so I get the brake part. I was just concerned about it being able to power out, and whether it was stuck or not, and I wasn't sure how much torque it should have taken to rotate...thanks though

hey tenn, your rig is awesome. I will not be doing the same setup as you though. I will just run the cable straight out the back, as I have a winch on the front already. This will be for the heavy pulls that will probably break the electric winch I have up front. thanks for the idea though...

It is going into a 79 ford f250. Going to mount it to the frame with access from a hole in the bed floor. The cable will run between the frame and bed and go through a fairlead I am goint to mount on the bumper. It will be driven off a tranny pto with f/r. Hopefully will be a good setup!! what...

Hello, I am new to this site been searching a bunch and so far love it!!! Anyway, I just bought a garwood 5T winch for my truck (not military, just HD 4x4 recovery.) I inspected it and went over the TM's on using it. The winch is in great overall condition, just that it seems difficult to turn...
