winch frame extensions

[illtemper]

I know it's somewhere but i'll be darned if I can find it. I just need the dimensions of the frame ext's for a front 5 ton winch. just got a 20000 garwood w/ rollers, no tensioner or winder, paid 350 delivered. my m52a2 is not really restorable, but more of a work truck, so I plan on making the extensions myself. the TM's show a difference of 6" between w/w and wo/w, but that just doesn't seem right, how far does it really move the bumper out? another question; in the TM's it shows the winch control lever and has "R N L N H" ,but the pto I have, I believe only has "R N F" . so what am I missing? and what is the hinge lock? am I readin the wrong TM? do winch trucks come with all that? I know armyman had a good install on the old site,but I can't find it now. any help is much appreciated. I'll try to post a pic of the winch thanks...Jon

yup comes with all that. the winch has 2 forward speeds and 1 in reverse. winch lock is a plate that goes over the pto handle in the cab to prevent it's use while it bounces when running down the road.

thanks beastmaster,18" sounds about right, 6" overlap and moves the bumper 12"...Jon

I pulled the 20K winch off a 5 ton truck in the junkyard, there was actually two sets of extensions - an outer extension that bolted to the bumper, and an inner 'sleeve' that ran between the extensions and the frame itself. I could go measure the extensions outside if you need them, I didn't get the sleeves though. From my memory, 12" sounds about right for how far out the bumper is compared to a w/ow truck, and there was easily 6" overlap on either side of the sleeves.
