Winch

Post by Cacti_Ken »

I saw an old jeep today with a Konig winch on it.
I couldn't tell what the model number was. It looked odd to me that the drive shaft was on the right side. That is the right side if sitting in the jeep.
It did not have a drive motor or drive shafts attached. Maybe it was flipped 180 which would put the drive shaft in that position.

It was probably an old Koenig R100J which is driven off the crankshaft. There's what would look like a driveshaft and gearbox on the right but that is for the clutch and friction control rods that go back to the firewall on the right side.

Thanks for the picture.
I do remember seeing the word "King" in the name. It was missing a lot of parts according to the photo.
