m35a2 truck winch and bumper on M818

[jrobinson5093]

I recently came acquired a complete winch with the bumper and extensions from a M35a2( I think anyway). Someone cut it off the truck with a torch the pieces of the frame are still bolted to the extensions. I have no PTO, just a small piece of shaft that was also cut. I need a bumper on my M818. I am just gonna bolt it on for now for looks, until I get the parts for part 2. Which is converting the winch to hydro. I'm gonna try and find a hydro motor that I can attach to where the shaft mounts. Is there any reason other than not being as strong that it would not work? Will the power steering pump in the 5 ton produce enough pressure?

Well I got the winch and bumper sitting on the front of the truck. Only a few holes line up so I'm gonna have drill some new holes. The five ton frame is around a inch taller than the 2.5 ton, so I'm gonna make some type of spacer. It will take up the space between the bottom of the frame and the bottom of the 2.5 ton frame extension. I will post pictures tomorrow, for anyone curious.

The winch is small for a 5 ton.

It is a bit small for the truck. But truth is I never plan to need it. I got some older wreckers I use for winching heavy stuff. I just came across this winch and bumper set up for cheap and the truck needed a bumper, so why not.

I am in the process of powering the winch with a hydro motor. Does any one know the specs for a motor that would work for it? What are the specs for the motor used on a M35A3?
