I was ready to have the sheet metal flange cut and use a small dished air tank head as a cover, welded, to keep from having to lose my splines....but didn't follow through. I think the dished heads were available at $12 or so and the plasma cut flange a couple bucks.

I'll check tomorrow. Do you have yours out? Have you found a mechanic that can do Allison...preferably already having a tech book with the 1545 in it?

I added a "d" in her name, try; jfinley@transtar1.com I'll edit the prior post

I started a threat on this subject. Please follow up, because I don't see them being the same; https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?176255-M105-axle-assembly-to-accommodate-dish-out-combat-wheels

The gearbox is inside the winch body. Here is about the position of the motor and the input gear shaft which is the brake shaft..

Can you send that UPS?

For hydraulic actuation of this brake, or rather the release of it, there are ports that allow flow to the piston that you can see in the last photo. Actually there are 2 sets of three ports and some are plugged. One set puts flow into the back of the piston on the spring side. That would...

Here is the disassembled brake. The shaft goes through and is keyed to the one way clutch that is splined to the friction portion of the clutch. The steels are splined to the outer housing. When compressed by the spring, they stop the shafts rotation, in one direction. The springs are in the...

Yes DBM, that means half the distance is under 10" and thus they will be just under the legal limit of 8'6". I have not wrapped my head around what G said in the last post. Seems there are 2 styles of brake drums and one may interfere with these Isuzu 16" budd's while the other won't. Gentry...

The winch is entirely apart. It has a one way clutch that is splined with the steels of a hydraulic clutch. It is hydraulic, not air. There is one piston with springs behind it that force the clutch plates to engage and stop rotation of the sprag part, which is splined to the clutch steels...

She may have said Maine. I'm sure she will help you. I could not find anyplace else in the US to rebuild the TC for "locking" 1545...so be very nice to them.

I emptied some space in PM but this is info that others may want, so please post here. That number is correct. She (Jessica) gave you a local dealer in Maryland. They can arrange the R&R but you can also send it directly to Transtar at Cooksville. Cooksville is open and they still do rebuild...

Actually Gunzy, I made a mistake that seems to be working out okay. Buying from a picture they look a lot alike. But it's clear now that it is the crane winch. Along the way in planning this project I started thinking that I had an FMTV winch coming...the first mistake. Then I was going to...

I went and got a phone number off their label and it seemed to work....931-528-7581

Moderator, please change the title to "Grove Crane Winch". I still have to determine how it operates. If anyone has pictures or a diagram of the connections to the brake part, please post them.

I wish I had the rest of it (the entire crane)....but it might be a bit big on a mid mounted 4x4 deuce.

Okay, I'm convinced not FMTV. It's too small, but probably fine for a small crane. It's not as large as I thought.

My mistake then. The ad did not exactly say it was from an LMTV. I guess now I get to tear the brake apart and see how it works and what I need for control. While I think it's air, it may be hydraulic that operates the outer unit (brake).

The unit that I called a gearbox with the long shaft allows the shaft to turn one direction and like a sprag clutch, locks in the other direction. The outer large gear is fixed, does not turn. Thus all the gearing must be inside the winch drum and this unit has brakes or one way clutch's, not...

When it arrived, it had all bolts missing on the gearbox side. Here is apart.
