UPDATE: **SOLD**
John’s got a Model 50 Ramsey winch that he’s interested in selling. If anyone has some advice on the value or its condition, feel free to comment.
Hello, My name is John Knowles, I live in Mont Albert, a suburb of Melbourne, Australia. I have a Ramsey model 50 PTO winch head and mounting frame. It apparently came of a damaged UN vehicle and was brought back to Aus. When I got the winch it had no cable fitted and had been heavily painted in UN white.
It has been sitting around in dry storage for many, many years, recently I was toying with the idea of putting front & rear PTO winches on my 110 Land Rover just for the hell of it so I got out the Ramsey and started to clean it up. As I cleaned it up I found it to be in very good condition but I noticed on the ID tag that it was rated at 3500lbs so I started to do some research into this model winch. From what I can gather they are quite collectable so maybe someone on this forum may know a person/collector looking for this model winch, or is it something i should list on Ebay
The ID tag is as follows
Ramsey Winch Mfg Co Tulsa Okla, Model 50, Capacity 3500, Serial Number 9317.
It also has the Bronze engage/ disengage lever.
If that’s a correct winch for a m38 or a1 it should bring a good price.
It’s the correct factory winch and is 3500# vs the more common, yet rare, Model 50R which is a 5000# winch and was a field equiped winch. From what i’ve heard, only the Model 50 (not R) came installed from the factory.
Hi, I want to buy it. I have a M38 willys jeep and looking for that winch for 3 years. I m going to get married in my jeep and that would be awesome if i could mount the winch on it. My adres is l.rottiers@gmail.com

Greetings, Laurens
Congrats on your upcoming marriage Laurens!
