Got my toy truck back, its been at the mechanic shop since 2000 to have brakes fixed. I guess I am not high priority.

It was a 1953 M37 Cargo truck when I got it out of a salvage yard, didn't run just got the cab and chassis.

I always wanted a winch truck that could navigate in the mud to retrieve stuck farm machinery and dozers. I spent a lot of time and money in building it up to what I wanted, never did get it painted tho, doesn't seem to affect its ability to work tho.

3 winches, Main winch 40K tulsa, boom winch 15K with a 4 part line to poles, 20K tulsa for an auxiliary. PTO is transfer case powered, with 5 sp tranny for fwd and reverse and speeds. Each winch has a power divider that operates it with a low and a high speed.

A quarter mile of cable and chains on it. mostly 5/8 , there is 245 ft of 7/8 on a reel and 300 ft of 5/8 on another below deck reel. 5/8, 7/8 and 1 inch short bridles coiled in old car tires.

A a bumping device on the front for pushing semi's with trailers to start them, not shown is an 8 foot wide anchor blade that mounts on the back bumper.

It has both the original 24 volt system and a 12 volt system for lighting.

I am relearning how to operate it. LOL
