Deuce winch on 5 ton?
Well, I finally got all the parts to put the winch on my M35A2.
But now I want a winch on the "new" M813A1. I can't afford another winch right now, so I'm wondering about putting the Deuce winch on the 5 ton.
Anyone done it?
I wonder if the only difference might be the length of the driveshaft?

RE: Deuce winch on 5 ton?
Aren't the Deuce and 5 ton winch driveshafts on different sides?

I don't know much about winches. The only time I ever used one in 'Nam, it was on a D7 Cat. Very impressive to a 19 year old kid.
Why do you say the Deuce winch is too small? I figure as long as it will pull its own weight, it's big enough.
I understand that a bigger heavier truck should ideally have a heavier winch, but isn't darn near any winch better than nothing?
Waiting to be enlightened................

Well the deuce winch is rated at 10k. I know the military under-rates the equipment, but a deuce winch on a 5ton is a pretty big gamble.

Another reason I thought of for putting the Deuce winch on the 5 ton, is the power steering. I've read that adding a winch to a Deuce makes it steer even harder.
Heck, I probably won't get around to putting the winch on ANYTHING for quite a while, but I still
like the idea of a winch on everything.
Of course I still prefer the M14 rifle, too.

I looked for the site I found a while ago. Wish I could have found it. Any way it told you how to calculate what weight your winch would see at different angles of pull and when axles were sunk. A good basic winch should be rated 1.75 times the standard vehicle weight.

Okay,That makes sense. The pull could be more than the weight of the vehicle, if it's mired down.
But I'll bite. Why aren't you going to Gary?
