I recently acquired this military winch assembly. Simply put it is HUGE and HEAVY. The actual winches are Tulsa winches, the bottom gear boxes are Garwood. The id plate says these are 20k but without a doubt the military has severely underrated them, what they actually should be rated is 45k. This unit is powered by one PTO, and each winch is powered by a 2 speed Garwood gearbox that sends power the prospective winch. The winches themselves are each engaged by air powered valves. So the truck this would be mounted to would have had the pto engaged, and then the operator could have easily engaged the winches individually by a manual hand valve. This is very important because typical pto winches were a pain to get engaged but this unit was designed to be engaged and operated by only one person. This assembly is missing one of the top mounted cable winders, and one of the winch engagement handles is broken off (but only the handle not the valve so it appears to be repairable). I have turned the pulleys and sprockets and all is moving so with some lubrication it all should work freely. Nothing is locked up. I cant operate the air valves so due to age and not being operated for some time please expect to replace seals and lines as needed for that to work properly. This weighs approx 4000lbs so the shipping of this item may be expensive, but I can build a skid and load in a freight truck for no added cost. If you have any questions then please call me during the work week 9-5 at 918-476-8839 or after hours on my cell 918-476-8839 ask for Barry. I have done some more research on this unit and have found out that these winches are Tulsa winches but were considered and sold to the US Government by Garwood under Ordnance Number 7409980, NSN 2540-00-740-9980. The Garwood Transmission on the bottom was sold under Ordinance Number M3001793, NSN 2990-00-937-0402.
