What is a good Snatch block to use with a m818 and 20k PTO winch?

[cwedge411]

Just wondering who makes a good and more importantly rated snatch block for a 5 ton with a 20k pto winch?
I see a few that were rated for 16k winches, but Id like to have one that rated the same or higher. In these cases I don't like to live dangerously haha.

TIA

The surplus blocks for 5 tons are not hard to find. I might have one in VT but I won't ship it.

Hrmm really? I haven't been able to find one. It's not the one they use on the crane is it?

They were all over place a year or two ago, maybe they dried up. For the 20k lbs front winch, 5/8" cable.

i saw a few bigger units on ebay when i was shopping for the one for my deuce, next to the beefy hook from my 18k warn

edit, i just checked and "large snatch block" brings up a few military blocks, not sure how big a block you need but you can always expand the search from there if those arent good enough, i think one had a 10" pulley so that outta be a healthy one

Best to have one with the sheave groove size, rated for the size line that you'll be using. 5/8" groove, for 5/8" line. At any rate, it doesn't take much of a winch job with snatch blocks, that after you've set up the pulls, two or three times, using most of the winches capacity & dragging the stuff around, especially in mud or snow, that you'll be thankful for not having an over seized block to drag around with all that line. I'm glad that I got through all that stuff when I was a young man.
