Howdy all, i am wanting to put a big winch on the front of my duece. I have the dual output pto and hydraulics on the truck to work with. Looking for the most cost efective way to do this. Was thinking of a 20k winch off a 5 ton. Any ideas or leads on a winch? Thanks Albion

why do you need such a big winch Albion? not that I'm judging, because I'd do it too if I could, just wanted to know why.

Re: RE: big winch
on the wrecker it is hydro powered. would be good idea to simplifiy things and the ability to add a dump box later
that is a crane winch that hangs below the boom on a 5ton wreckerTimberwolf said:

RE: Re: RE: big winch
there are no hydro lines or anything on the winch ? just a PTO drive shaft flange like on any normal PTO winch.

a hydro motor bolts right to it.
depending on where your putting it it might be very akward to mount.
also that winch only has a 1/2 inch cable. Which is not an upgrade from a stock deuce winch.

No, the truck does not currently have a winch. Seeing i am starting with no winch i think the cost will not be a lot morefor a big one and i want to make sure i have plenty of power for a quick recovery. Fabrication is not a problem and the truck will only be used off road. The "hill" is literally a small mountain, my polaris 700 twin 4wd climbs it pretty easy, i hope the duece will as well, but this being my first duece i really don't know what to expect as far as it's ability off road.My experiance with my "rock crawler cj5" with it's 12k winch tells me that is not enough winch for the 13k duece.

Albion, I have an extra one of these, 20,000 lb "5-ton" winch. It's mounted upside down in this application and has a chain/sprocket drive. See the particulars in the classified section.

I have the winch from a 5 Ton on the front of my Deuce. It was on there when I bought it. I love the look. I still have to get around to hooking up the hydraulics.

Albion, just remember a 12k Electric Winch and a 10k PTO winch are very different. I would take the 10K PTO over a 12K Electric any day. Pto winches pull their load all day long without any problems. Electric winches tend to get hot while pulling at full load.

my 12k milemarker has a 3/8 cable and the 10k deuce winch has a 1/2 inch cable.jdobyns said:
I think they are under rating the winch a bit
Yea, i figured that, my train of thought is that sinse i have to buy one any way, from what i have seen i can buy a 20k winch used surplus for not much more than a 10k duece winch. The fab work isn't a problem for me and i might even convert it to hydro. If my duece gets in a situation were it won't make it up the mountain i want to know i have plenty of winching power to drag it up and over the obsticle and not worry about sheering the pin i keep reading about thanks.

MassM35A2, just let me be the first to say your deuce looks great with that camo pattern!
If your still looking for one of these albion I have one. I bought it at an auction here at Ft. Chaffee, thought if was for the M37 but realized when I went to pick it up that I had got the wrong one. I was going to use to make a boom truck or something but I'll pobalby never get around to that... if you want it let me know.
It's like this one... has the extra pulley and indexing mechanism on top and the cable appears to be nearly new. I believe it's rated at 20K.

Hello,
The difference between the electric and PTO, is quite simple. The electric commercial winch is rated by pulling a rated, rolling load(12K, ect.) up a 45 deg. ramp, whereas the PTO is rated to pull the rated line pull(10k ect). directly. Thats the reason the 12k electric has a 3/8" line and the PTO has a 1/2" line. I have a neighbor who uses 10k garwoods for logging and uses a grade 8 bolt for the shear pin, he estimates that he regularly pulls 40k logs with the truck. He has replaced his winch several times due to spliting the case, where the worm fits to the gear, I have seen a pulled apart case and its impressive. Vast difference between commercial and PTO military!
