[fkowalski1942]

Hello All,
I´m looking for pictures and drawings for the frame extenders and winch mount, i´ve got a winch, but i need these parts to install the winch on truck, my truck is a 2.5ton M35.
Thanks for any help.

Best Regards

Ron,
I just need the pictures or drawings of these parts, it will be very expensive for me to buy and ship these heavy parts to my country, should i post in classified anyway?

Thanks

Designing some winch mounts right now, and am finding all these dimensions really useful. Thanks G!

Wondering about the width between the winch mounting points. Looks like the way you've dimensioned these mounting brackets, they'll sit about 26" apart? The winches I have measure closer to 25.75" between the mounting surfaces. Are the winches shimmed, or do they squeeze the framerails together a little bit, or are my measurements off?

No shims, and no squeezing the rails together.

mkay, thanks. Then my measurements must be slightly off. Will double-check everything and try to figure out where I'm coming up with this extra 1/4".

Well, the dimensions were taken from brackets laying around... but still accurate.
Fact is that our winches are 25-3/4" wide, (+/- 1/16th). Now the distance between frame rails should be the same for all, at close to 28" but actual variations or call it tolerances are relatively high.

Yes, both winch end-housings are bolted directly to the brackets. And their correct separation when mounting all in place and tightening bolts is given through flexibility of parts combined with relatively large holes on the extensions (and brackets).

The drawing below more or less shows the possible deviations... (No Swiss watches here...)

Be sure to get a supply of correct shear pins. Bolts are not an option.

Be sure to read the TM on winch operation and safety.

There are many good threads on adding a winch to your M35.

There also is a helpful YouTube piece on winch operation.

Knowledge is King when it comes to safely operating a winch.

here is a side view.

 

[jesusgatos]

That's an A3? Almost does look like those lower grill mounting tabs are flipped from side-to-side (further forward).

 

[Katahdin]

Darwin T added the A3 lights to his A2.

I am continually impressed with gringletaube's drawings and knowledge, I think he needs to publish a M35A2 shop manual. I'd buy it!

Coincidentally I have the winch mounts on a paint rack. Here's a few pics. Hope it helps!

 

[Darwin T]

i did addd the extra lights to my M109a3 but the rest is still original, except for the extra bottom shackles. the same type winch as the ones on my M35a2.

Can anyone point me in the direction of where those pieces could be had....and if they would work for an aftermarket WARN 18k 24v winch? This one -> Warn Industries - Military and Severe Duty Winches: Severe Duty 18
