Blew up my Duece winch today (see stock Duece posts) and am dissatisfied...
YES, if the right shear pin had been in it never would've broken BUT it never would've pulled me out either! It seems the stock M35 winches are on the fragile side (aluminum case, brass gear) requiring the soft shearpin to protect it.
I've got a dead M543A2 sitting around, it has a 5 ton winch on the front and a BIG one on the back, any experience out there mounting either on the Duece? Anyone know the capacities of these? I also have an old International with a WAY BIG Tulsa winch behind the cab but that might be overkill, even for me...
Before anyone says I don't need anything bigger, etc., the last scale ticket today was for 30,600lbs gross...
Thanks for your input!
