Did I buy the wrong winch for a m818??

[tmr4479]

Found the winch on eBay. I buy it I get it shipped here I'm not sure its the right one. The data plate says its rated for 10000 pounds.

That sounds like a deuce winch.

That is the correct winch for a 5 ton.

Can you post apicture of the input shaft?

Yup, it's correct.

It may be old.

It may have been labeled as such, and rated differently(like at full drum pull) rather than first layer pull?

I would not worry about it. It's the correct winch.

Someone put the top plate from a deuce winch on your Garwood 20k.

I concur with that...

Yep, that is actually a 20,000lb winch. You are good to go. Be sure to use the proper shear pin though on the driveshaft to winch connection. And keep a couple spares in the map compartment.

Great I feel a lot better now. I spent hours looking at pictures of winches to see if I could find one that looked like mine only rated for 10k. Any install tips yall can give me?

 

[doghead]

PM me for correct shear pins.

Pfft, every good little private knows you use grade 8 bolts instead, lol

No seriously, use the correct shear pins or you will end up in a world of hurt, ask me how I know.

How do you know?

How do you know?

My second deployment the truck I signed for had a bolt instead of the shear pin on the winch. I didn't know it and when we used the winch to pull something the pin should have snapped, instead it cost us a winch and an investigation as to why we were having to replace a winch.
