Found a complete winch set up for the M135/M211 here. I will have the bracket by Saturday. I will have pillow block brackets and shields by next week. Contact me off line.

I am having the under cab floor support bracket and J-Bolt shown in Fig. 344 of TM 9-8024 duplicated. I expect to have them finished in a couple of weeks.

With little to do on a Sunday morning, I ran my usual searches on eBay. Then, for no real reason, I ran pillow block bearing, flange base. Same bearings, 1 1/4 shaft hole, as the parts houses stock. Cheaper! Kind of amazing. Then I went to Northern Tool. Even more amazing.

I have measured the bolt holes to mount the bracket to the frame. 4.5 inch center to center, a bit offset on the bracket to allow a slight slant from top to rear, it appears. We will see how this fits.

I took some additional pics to show next to a tape measure. Can anyone measure theirs for comparison. I already know we got the spacing wrong on the frame holes. They are 3.5" here and should be 4.5" center to center.

I am still not entirely certain on the pillow bearing bracket. If you could pull yours and either send it to me or compare the prototype measurements and shape to yours it would be helpful.

I have obtained a couple of original parts for the winch drive line. The in cab lever will be simple enough to make and cost around $25 to $50 depending on the number I have made. A pic of it is included here. It has a hole and attachment farther forward than the transfer lever and a bit of...

I am working on reproducing the bracket and shield. The first attempt is being done now. We will see how they come out. This is not making an Iphone after all. rofl

Fig. 343 shows the pillow block bearing bracket labeled as G not the support bracket in Fig. 344.

The pillow bearing bracket and shield are at the fab shop now. I have to figure out if the bracket mount is angle cut as Fig. 343 in TM 8-8024 on the frame side or if there is enough room for a square cut bracket mount. Is yours square cut on the frame side of the bracket?

Thanks Ron. I think they will be easy to re-produce. One more vital part I can have made. It might be much easier to put a winch on the G749 version after all!!!

A pic of at least one kind of PTO control lever in the cab. Does anyone else have in cab pics???

The part number for the pillow block bearing from Purvis is: F4B-SC-104 An additional number on the label is 782475114634 which leads to the manufacturer, Dodge, and the item. Made in the USA. The shaft collar (stop) is available from McMaster-Carr as part #9414T24

I walked into Purvis Industrial with the old one. The lady at the counter took out some calipers, measured the shaft remainder diameter walked into the storage area for about five minutes and came out with the new one. She aligned the mounting holes on both and asked if I was happy! It is a...

I took the old pillow block bearing assembly into Purvis Industrial. I asked for a new one. Ten minutes later I walked out. Cost a few bucks, but what does not? Amazing.

Stan: I sent you a pm about a new cable.

I have the only three I have found around here. They have been chopped up for rock crawlers, apparently.

Anyone know of any M135/M211 near Dallas?

Those mounts are exactly the items I am speaking about. If someone has them out of the truck and can send them to me, I can make another dozen or so of the bearing mount, shield and cable support. I doubt there is a big market for this stuff. But, I thought that when I made the first of the...

Winches are easy, it is the drive line parts that are difficult to find.
