Reply With QuoteDon't recognise it. Not a Bamford PTO (naturally), not a thomas drum winch either.
Defenitely not original fittament to an army land rover.
looks like a big strong winch though.

Can anyone shed light on the possible identity of this winch (installed on a LWB ex-military 2A, probably as std equipment)?
If it works, is it a keeper?
cheers

definately gotta get more pics of that. I have a suspicion on what its madled after and even if its a cheap knock off of what it should be it should be more than enough for anything a series might get itself bogged to the roofline in.

Looks like a modified boat winch.

I was thinking of a deck winch from a dry dock. usually sealed and hydraulicly powered with a manual arm for running on the ratchet on the side.

I'm actually thinking of an aircraft starter motor winch. These were about the only drum winches we had in the 1960's and early 1970's. Mostly 24V from DC3's and yes hand made.
Warn electric winches were only just coming on the market - the Land Rover hydraulic winches were almost impossible to acquire and after that there were the capstan winches that everyone was removing. Thomas winches from Brisbane weren't on the market yet and most of the other stuff was ex-army and too heavy for the Land Rover, although Garwood-Olding is a name that comes to mind.
One of the best winches was the Toyota PTO from the 30 Series or whatever it was called.

You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

Wow!
Would love to see the undercarriage on that aircraft to need that much cable!
