Looks more like the Braden MU-2 from a civilian Power Wagon, not an LU-4 from a G-741 series truck. If you're thinking about mounting this to an M37, you'll have some work to do, since the MU-2 mounts on crossmembers, instead of directly to the frame rails per the LU-4. My M37 had an MU-2 grafted on to it when I bought it, and the frame was considerably modified to make it (sort of) work. Both the winch mounting and PTO-to-winch driveshaft will require frame alterations and customization.

I THOUGHT that looked a lot like an MU-2! I am probably going to refurbish it and mount on my '52 Civilian. I don't know if it will hurt the value being that its NOT a Braden, by name anyways.
My M37 is being "resto-modded" so no PTO winch there.

rhinos winches are Asian knock offs of MU2. the castings are no good and they break. I have ended up with 2 over the years and both were cracked. I have read other threads on PW forums saying the same.

Good to know.... Decorative use only, then?
