0 Jack Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I don't know, but what a very practical winch....! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ACH Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 To be honest I've been considering fitting it to the Bedford, but not having a transfer box PTO it's going to be a bit complicated. I do have a hydraulic PTO unit for the Bedford, it's not fitted so it may not be the correct one. I bought two winches a couple of years ago off an old wrecker, one turned out to be off the front of a White Half Track but I've never managed to find out what this was originally fitted too. There's a makers plate with serial numbers on but I've lost the piece of paper which had the information on so will get it tomorrow and post later. If somebody needs it for their vehicle I would be more than happy to swap it for something more useful for mine, a smaller hydraulic winch or parts I need, but it would be nice to know what it came off if I do fit it.

0 Jack Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Could it be off a boat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ACH Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 It could be off a Landing craft I suppose, there was lots of them broken up here after the war. I originally thought it was the one of the back of a Duck and then a Diamond T but it's not big enough for the one behind the cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Gordon_M Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 It's not from a DUKW, and it isn't big enough or having a long enough shaft to be off a K-43 Chevrolet pole truck. Vague chance it might be from a K-44 earth augur truck but not sure. Gordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Nick Johns Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 (edited) Just out of interest I was wondering what this Garwood winch originally came off? It was used on this USMC GMC, more likely to have been used on marine application with the capstan drum for normal rope and the wire rope drum for winching/lifting, the two levers, one operated a brake on the wire rope drum, the other disconnected the drive so the capstan could run independently Edited September 21, 2009 by Nick Johns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 ACH Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 I didn't think it was off a particularly big vehicle, be nice to see some better pictures of the USMC GMC. I have got the details off the makers plate: Mead Morrison Winch Model No: 3M607LH Serial No: A-23114 Garwood Industries Inc It's doubtful that anybody would want it so I'll most probably remove the capstain bollard and mount it on the Bedford. Thanks for all your help so far chaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
