UPDATE: There was some interest in the Capstan winch from David’ part’s jeep that I featured the other day. Here’s some additional views of it.
You can still find parts for Capstan winches here, though they are out of the Capstan kits (which cost $2,650). Brian also runs a ‘Capstan’s for sale’ page, but appears all sold out at the moment. And here’s a little nautical history of the Capstan winch from wikipedia. And here’s some info from the CJ-3B page on the Ramsey Capstan Winch, including some pics of the brochure.
David picked this up for a parts jeep and wanted to share it. I told him he should have put “home or bust” on the sign on the back of the jeep.
Nice capstan and with those rear fender flares look like it may have had dually rear tires.
That’s a good point Joshua. There certainly seems some distinct purpose for those flares.

Hi,
Might you be intertested in selling winch set up.
Thanks
I contacted Dave and let him know you were interested in the winch.

Hi Todd,
It sounds like he might sell it as well as other parts (some parts he is keeping). You can email here bgbas58@yahoo.com.
