This jeep served two different jeeps. What I found interesting is that the tag is still on it, identifying it as a Sears and Roebuck winch. It would be interesting to see if the original ad for the winch indicated it’s use was for a jeep.

“This is a very nice classic vintage (1940s) fully working allstate winch sold by Sears, it was originally installed in a 1947 CJ2A but later transferred to a 1956 DJ3A, the long metal base is 33″ long, the metal plate where the mechanism sits is 15″ long, the mechanism alone is 13″ long, the cable is 3/8 in diameter”
So Dave, was a mount offered with these winches, or did the owner have to fabricate one? I ask, because the mounting system with this winch certainly doesn’t look “factory”. (Angle iron, and flat plate.)
Still, I’d love to have this, too bad Christmas has exhausted all my funds.
