winch

[Jim Hunter]

Hello guys,

I am new to the old US military trucks so please forgive my ignorance
I am trying to find out if M715 share the same winch with M37 ???
Here in Greece is almost impossible to find a M715 w/w but lots of M37s...

Thank you,
Jim

Yes the winch, cable,chain & hook are the same. All mounting hardware and pto drives are different.

Agreed. The winch is a Braden model LU-4.

Like mentioned previously, the LU-4 is the same for M37 or M715. They actually have a lot of M715 parts as well but the LU-4 parts can be looked up under the M37. Only the mounting brackets are different on the winch itself, all internal parts should be identical.

Nothing from a m37 as far as mouting goes is the same and will not work on the m715/ same for pto drive assy

 

[Jim Hunter]

So I need specific M715 only parts to mount the winch as mentioned ???

Thank you,
Jim

 

[bcowanwheels]

Yes everything to mount winch correctly is m715 specific
