Canvas winch cover,...?

[Aussie Bloke]

G'day everyone,.....


I have just seen a canvas winch cable cover on a Deuce.

I am told these were a stock item though the one pictured was made.

Are there any out there?

I purchased mine from Jatonka.
He also did my seat covers.
Very nice stuff and he was very helpful with any questions.

I saw a thread on this sometime back, I thought the consensus from those present was a cover might trap moisture? I use Tri-flow. Though, I think any water displacing oil would work?

New life canvas had the one for my M37. I would guess they have them for deuces also.

I also got my winch cover from Jtonka. Great stuff, great quality, great service and he is a real good guy.
Get the spin on fuel and oil filter kits while you’re there. Best thing I did to my Duece!

Did the A3s get winch covers as well? I don't think I've seen modern trucks come with them.

The covers really complete the look of winches. My dad got a NOS one for his halftrack and it looks awesome!

Just for info. Never used one or saw one in the service. Only once in the surplus world is when I saw these or even heard about them. In the 70s guys would greese rags and rap the winch with that. But an old expert mechanic told us to stop. So we did. Regular maintenance and we never had an issue.

Jatonka is just 30 mins form me - and I need stuff from down under for my RAEME M816. Perhaps we can help each other out???

I've already arranged for my winch cover,.... Plus a few little extra's.

What do you need down here?
Be happy to help.

Same here, 70's into the 90's.. On my own stuff I don't bother buying official winch covers. I'm not for show. Instead I use surplus GI canvas covers with straps that were under $10ea from armysurpluswarehouse. I think they were for kitchen field equip but are large enough to cover halfway down all 4 sides of 5T winches and look just fine on there. Enough of the straps fit so you can run the roads. They are just big enough to do a decent job covering the rear winch of wreckers

I need a pair of these - don't think that they are still available new...

but one thing that seems to be hard to get is reproduction ADF rego plates - preferably the earlier white on black rather than the green on white. Even old civilian ones seem impossible - which could be used to copy graphics and sizing...

That is a photo I found. I need the whole lamp x 2. I'll try look through all my other pics to see if I have a close up. That lamp wasn't ever sold in the US as far as I know. Probably a Hella?
