Looking for the elusive winch for my M38. I need a complete setup as trying to find the missing parts is a fools errand it seems. So, PTO, shafts, universals, pillow block.
And... A Gardwood level wind.
I am quite aware that these things do NOT come cheap, nor do I expect them to.

Thank you for the response. yes I have seen bits and pieces but as I said, it seems a fools errand to try it that way.
Oh I know the level wind will be impossible but that's fine too.
We all get different satisfactions out of this hobby. Be it, restoring or driving, or showing or having you vehicle judged. Many more. For me the biggest thrill is the hunt. I seem to be drawn like a moth to the flame when someone tells me "you will never find that!"
There are some things I have been looking for over a period of years with no luck (yet)
But I do find stuff when I stay at it. The latest was a sealed NOS kit that converted MBs and GPWs to a 12V system for radio use. Not cheap either, but I have it! _________________ '52 Dodge M37, '42 GPW, '48 FrankenJeep CJ2A/M38, '50 CJV-35(U), '51 M38, '42 WC-57 Command Car, '44 WC-51 Weapons , (2) M1941 Sperry 60" Anti-Aircraft Searchlights, John Deere M-gator, '44 White M3A1 Scout Car

It took me awhile to find all the parts to my winch setup. It started with the winch itself which was attached to a cj5, they I found a pto on craigslist, then another that came with the hanger bearing, so I sold the extra one, they I had a winch frame made. It was fun tracking down all the parts.

Good muck my friend,
I found all the parts except the Ramsey 50, so I went for a Ramsey 200R. A friend of mine has the 50 and I am keeping the pressure on until he decides to sell it!
