Hello All,
I was browsing E-Bay and there is a Ramsey Model 200, 8000lb winch for sale. I didn't see the hanger bearing and the shaft is one long rod with a keyway the whole length. It says it will work with any and all jeeps???? I am curious to see what this item brings. The search I used was M 38 Jeep. It was listed today. I know the shaft is wrong and also some other things. Thought it might be something to gab about

The 200 can be mounted on your M38. The long straight drive shaft is there because the 200 used the civvy Ramsey PTO which hangs further away from the transfer. The wider PTO necessitates modifying the exhaust pipe.

Just out of curiousity, would there be any issue hooking a Ramsay 8000X electric winch up to a M38? I know you would have to have the 24v wiring and stuff and that it's not period correct. But.... I have one I planned to use on a Jeep Grand Wagonneer that has since gone the way of other things.

One of the members here, m38mc (Larry) had an electric winch on his M38 for a while before he swapped it out for a proper Ramsey unit.
