wesk escribió:The correct Ramsey PTO for the M38 and M38A1 is the 105 and the correct factory winch is the model 50. The 50R was a supply replacement stock item. These two units fit the jeep without any serious modifications.
wesk escribió:The Ramsey model 50 was the correct winch for both the M38 and the A1 from Willys. The military spares system stocked the 50R for field replacement. The model 50 was a 3500 Lb winch and the Model 50R was a 5000 Lb winch.
wesk escribió:The Ramsey 105 PTO and model 50 or 50R winch are hard to find and very pricey. The Model 105 PTO tucks the winch driveshaft in real close to the engine so no modifications of the M38 or M38A1 exhaust are required. The front winch mounting frame fits the model 50 and 50R winches which are considerably narrower then the civvy Ramsey 200 series. The driveshaft is unique to the M38/M38A1 and it's single bearing support that mounts to the bell housing bolts is very hard to find.
The difference between the model 50 original equipment M38 winch and the service replacement 50R which was the original equipment M38A1 winch is the rating and cable lengths. The 50 is a 3500 lb winch and the 50R is a 5000 Lb winch.
Creo que esta claro que en los jeep m38 y m38a1 se instalo de fabrica el malacate Ramsey 50 de 3500 lbs y el malacate Ramsey 50R para reemplazar a este ultimo y con capacidad para 5000 lbs.
La toma de fuerza utilizada es el modelo 105
La instalacion en ambos modelos de jeeps es similar y la misma consta de una serie de cardanes de acuerdo al siguiente diagrama
Aqui la instalacion en un m38
