Where did this model number come from?? Dataplate in the cab, dataplate on the body/box?? I doon't recall havingssen this particular model number before... Is there any other info available that might give us some clues?? If from the cab dataplate, what kinf of cab ?? closed, open, cab-over, etc. Date of delivery??

anything else you can tell us might help narrow things down...

I just checked my copy of the 25 June 1945 dated SNL G-85 Vol. IV and G506. It have an exhaustive list of model numbers, which include numbers in the 4100 range (ie. 4112, 4103. etc) and also numbers in the 7100 range (ie. 7106, 7107, 7116, 7105, etc.) I found no mention of any 7500 range of model numbers...

Thanks for the reply. I think I was mis reading the Serial Number as a Model Number. It's SN # 6NJ07 7554. Delivered 7.30.42. Per all the manuels and TM's I have this would be a Cargo less winch, built in Oakland CA, July 1942. The last numbers are just the production number.Does that sound right?
Also looking to rebuild the back and bottom of the battery box. Anyone got any pictures?
Thanks
