    M936A2 wrecker 20k front winch

    The rear bridge is much beefier and is 6.750” id, the fwd bridge is 4 something inches id. If you could, could measure the id of your fwd bridge, then the rollers from the shoulder/lip to the outer edge where it’s bolted on? I swapped the lines and that fixed the drum winding direction and got...

    M936A2 wrecker 20k front winch

    well, i pulled the winding unit apart and the rollers were gummed up bad. after cleaning, i put it back together, but the washers (not the thrust washers) seemed to be pressing against the rollers causing a bit of binding. they were concave towards the rollers, so i turned them so the cave faces...

    M936A2 wrecker 20k front winch

    The rollers are not really free turning. I whooped on them with a brass hammer head and got them to “stiffly” free up. The zerks are corroded shut or broke, so i’ll be getting new zerks today, tear the unit down, clean, free up and lube everything and see about getting the mess of cable spooled...

I got to the front winch and had issues with the drum lock, got that fixed and pulled all the cable out...
