Are the 5tons the same? I have an extra 5ton winch with one.

A great reason for buying another truck

"Honey, why did you buy ANOTHER truck??"

"Because I was missing a bolt on the first truck and this one has it!"

"But doesn't that mean the new truck will now be missing the bolt?"

"Your right!! Better buy "another" truck!!"

Been there done that. She caught on.

 

[stellaruthie]

thanks for the replys,Im not sure if the 5 ton winch lock is the same.

drum lock

also does anyone know if the winch is suppose to operate with drum lock lever missing?,mine does not,winch driveshaft is turing but winch wont move,thanks Jeff

 

[avengeusa]

do not operate it without the handle, you could hurt your winch really bad!

 

[avengeusa]

PS, I could make you a knob pretty easy if you do not have one, some had a knob, some had a handle, mini handle

the reason its not working is cuz that is the handle to disengage the winch it wont work unless it is locked in-pushed to the pass side. the little handle or knob is the winch brake it holds the load when winch is not pulling

i have a spare mini handle if you need it not sure what thread the bolt is that holds it on but i'm pretty sure it is availible at the hardware store.read the tms on winching it will explain it to you better how to use your winch safely

Check your shear pin.

If the handle is missing the drum lock is stuck in the engaged position.

If the bolt is broken (which is usually the case when the lever is missing) you can fix it by cutting the bolt off flush with the pin, drilling the pin out and tapping it 5/16", and screwing in a piece of 5/16" all-thread.

 

[stellaruthie]

well thanks for the replys,my winch must be missing more then just the little handle because I just have a threaded hole were the little handle goes?maybe a rod that threads in the hole and the mini handle attaches to that?thanks.

You probably are just missing the whole lockpin assembly. The threaded hole you can see is where the slotted nut/plug (encircled red) screws in.
No problem to use the winch without this; just find a way to prevent (self)un-spooling of the drum/wire rope while driving!

I can give you the exact dimensions for all parts to have them made if you can't find them OEM.

TNJ Murray had them for I think $20 ea NOS.

 

[stellaruthie]

yes that looks like the part I would be missing,thanks guys.Jeff

If you look at the -20P TM, you can easily identify the parts you are missing. Then you can actually reference the part number(and correct part name) to everyone . Also, a google search for the NSN or part number can help you find replacements.

If TNJ Murry does indeed have those, as was mentioned, I bet a google search for the NSN would have led you right to them.

The tms are such a huge help, it amazes me how many people don't utilize them more.

In defence of those who dont use the TM's first. Those can be intimidating if you were never in the military and used to using TM's or just new to MV's. IF you list all the deuce manuals thats a couple a thousand pages to sift thru trying to figure out what your looking at.

I have several extra poppet shafts and drum lock handles. Part nos NSN:5315-00-696-0789, and NSN:2540-00-740-9150 I do not have any spare springs or nuts. If you have the brake adjusted right, you are better off without the drum lock. I have several parts winches that were destroyed because someone forgot to unlock the drum before using the winch.
