The correct military Ramsey model 50 or 50R winch with the correct matching 105 PTO and the hard to find drive shaft with the correct bearing support will in restorable condition sell for over $2500. This PTO and driveshaft do not interfere with the stock M38 exhaust. But you only see one or two for sale a year.

The Ramsey 200 and the Koenig 100 series winches and their associated PTO's will cost between $1000 and $2500.

There are modern mechanical and hydraulic driven winches out there that will fit. There are also several 24 volt electric winch choices.

Just turn the page to google and start shopping.

The $2500 seems low. The 105A PTO sells for around $1000 alone. The last Ramsey 50 winch I saw sold was at over $3500 just for the winch, no drive shafts, hanger bearings, or pto.
