5-ton winch, what's it worth?

[cranetruck]

This winch, removed from the "homemade" bed of the xm757 is in pretty good shape, it has the wire rope, hook and chain and a sprocket drive.
The (drive)chain and several feet of driveshaft is included plus two other matching sprocket wheels.
Also the rollers, which were welded to the bed.

I'll get pictures tomorrow when there is more light.

I'm thinking about trading it for some xm757 stuff at Jim Henry's in North Carolina, but if there is interest here, I will sell it and use the cash instead.

So, how much may it be worth?

Do you happen to know the rating on the winch??

RE: 5-ton winch, what

It's 20,000 lb (standard 5-ton winch).
I'm pretty sure it came from another XM757, but modified for chain drive.
NSN 2590-043-4241 for the winch.

5x2000=10,000?

Let me clarify, 5-ton as in the winch used on 5-ton trucks, which has a rating of 20,000 lb.
Sorry about being a bit fuzzy here.

i wonder how they kept the oil to the bearings being it's mounted upside down ?

 

[cranetruck]

It's designed to be mounted like that, lots of oil.

From manual:

Gear end: 6.75 qts
Frame end: 3.75 qts
Reduction gear box: 0.30 qts

 

[DaveP]

that would do it.

Snapped several pictures this morning.

Any takers for $350.00?
