I was able to acquire a Braden MU-2 from a WM300, which I plan on installing on my M-37. I have an LU-4 which needs bearings, however I prefer the MU-2.
I know I have seen some pictures before, but does anyone on here have pictures of an MU-2 winch mounted on an M-37??

Thank you! I was also directed to this photograph by a SS member.
If anybody else has any more I'd love to see them. After doing some looking and measuring, I think that I can make it fit without having to make any modifications to the truck.

I have no pics but I woul take the Power WAgon front and rear mounting pieces and utilize them. they are incredibly strong steel. I coul NOT straighten the front angle steel piece the winch bolts to so I took it in to the the metal man fab shop and he said it took a 50 ton press and heat to straighen it out. was barely bent at all. also using the PW parts you incorporate the lower fairlead set up for pulling things from behind the truck. that has been very handy on tight trails when I have had to drag all the chevys and toyotas up behind me on the Nachese Pass.

I'm definitely on board with that idea! I was
hoping to use the front mounting piece flat against the front bumper, attaching a fair lead on top. The rear I was going to cut down the PW mounts. I think it's very do-able.
Will be sure to post pictures when it comes to fruition, whenever that may be!

Sir,
I was wondering, did the winch on this truck fit easily with the PTO drive shaft? If I use the regular M-37 PTO and shaft, will I need to cut and fab to make it fit, or...
I know you said you removed it, so you'd be familiar!
Thanks in advance@

Not sure if same length never got the shaft and pto on truck before I sold it.. It look like the winch was in the same position the only strange thing is the shaft that came with the setup is it has a slip joint shaft on it and is not the original shaft. I don't have a shaft to compare it with currently...
