Winch and wiper questions

[Cav Trooper]

I just found a winch LU4 which does not have any of the mounting hardware. I already have a pto but the lower lever pivot mounting bracket or what ever it's called is missing. I have a lead on a set of front bumpers but don't know how much might be missing from them. I may need winch mounting brackets, frame extinsions, definitely need the pto levers, floor lock bracket, pivot mount bracket and eventually cable, chain etc. Anyone have a source other than brand new for these parts? I would like the winch to work but, in reality if it doesn't for now, it will be for show until I can gather enough coin to do it right. Another question, where can I get the correct wiper vacuum switch? I see one on ebay but I can't believe it costs $18 to ship. Last question, are vacuum wipers supposed to park and stay up? My wipers drift down to the vertical position as I am driving.

The wipers are supposed to return to top after the vacuum switch is turned off, for them to drop slowly might indicate a leak. NAPA had a small metal vacuum valve similar that might work.

M37 wipers have the individual switch on the wiper motor.

I don't know of a source for "used" winch parts-best bet is the guys/gals on this forum, or one of the HMV vendors. A regional swap meet would also be a good place to score if you can wait a couple of months when they start gearing up....

John at Midwest Military has a lot of winch stuff.

Thanks guys for the winch info. The wipers on my truck don't have any switches, they may be from some other vehicle, Jeep maybe.
