WTB - Capstan Winch for MB/GPW

[42 Willy]

Hi all,

I am currently looking for a capstan winch to install on my '42 MB. Does not have to be in immaculate condition but would definately like it in operational condition. I know they are harder to come by, but I am looking at a 4 screw top if possible to be period correct. If I can get one with the bed plate aswell as the winch unit then all the better. Any additional linkage parts would be great, but if not I know where to buy some reproductions.

Thanks for your time and Happy Jeeping!

Regards,

Steuart

Isn't the 3 screw top for the Link Belt winch that was never on a WWll jeep?

That is correct Adam. In my muddled mind for some reason I typed 3 screw when I actually meant 4 screw.
Always good when your mind plays tricks on you. I have now amended my post.

Thanks and Regards,

I have a mostly complete capstan winch setup, military version.

Make a reasonable offer even though the add says 4k.
