    M925A2 Front Winch Broke under load

    Awesome, thanks for that info everybody! I’ve been under the weather the last few days, I’m going to get out there and tackle this soon though. Since only 1/4-3/8” stripped out, I might just start with longer bolts, and then for the permanent fix, I’ll see if I can drill and tap for 9/16”...

    M925A2 Front Winch Broke under load

    I guess the only real way to tell if this thing is actually pulling 20,000lbs is to hook it up to a scale and try pulling on it. I wonder how hard that would be to do? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    M925A2 Front Winch Broke under load

    Actually it looks like the breaking strength of the 0.5” steel cable is around 21,500lbs, so I guess bumping up the pressure bypass isn’t a good idea unless I know that it is bypassing at a lower psi than desired, which I don’t know how I would test that out for sure unless I hooked up some...

Before we went to 2-1 with the snatch block, it seemed like it was pulling until it reached the pressure bypass...

    M925A2 Front Winch Broke under load

    Yes, the flange on the output of the hydraulic motor is separated from the winch case. Not sure why there was only 3/8" or so going into the winch case, maybe this was an after-military install? What is the purpose of that flange between the motor and the winch case? Just a spacer to align...

    M925A2 Front Winch Broke under load

    This past weekend we were up playing in the snow with the M925A2, and I got stuck pretty bad in a snow drift. We ended up having to winch out, and after several hours of winching and shoveling, we were finally able to drive out and home. The next day, I noticed a pool of hydraulic fluid...
