Need help from the experts. M35A2 Winch

Hey everyone. Could you please help and let me know if the winch mounting brackets are good to use. I have seen differnt ones and just wondering if they are the same. Sorry for the extra pics...….
Thank you, Pat

If you are asking if they should fit, then yes.

 

[Pat Gray]

Thank you, just wanted to make sure they would fit.

There are generally 2 styles of brackets

Fabricated and Punched/bent

Et looks like you have the fabricated variety

Either will work- you set up looks correct

Country is right, those are the good-old welded version, winch brackets and frame extensions. Actually, they are stronger than the stamped ones, IMHO.

You may compare yours to the dimensions posted here... (if still in doubt).

Country and Gringeltaube are correct

Thank you, I won the winch and brackets for $50.00 on a Auction site. I am now looking for the chain and hook, and the cable guides. Would it be OK to buy grade 8 bolts for the frame extensions and bumper bolts?
Thanks

All that, for $50??? No, you didn't win it... , you stole it!

Would it be OK to buy grade 8 bolts for the frame extensions and bumper bolts?

Grade-5 hardware will work and Grade-8 is perfect...
Anyway, be prepared to pay more than $50, just for the hardware!

 

[MudMarine]

At that price point it's worth splurging on the hardware! Haha

Country and Gringeltaube are correct

Country, Gringeltaube and Clinto are correct!
Wait, this isn't a comedy site is it?

 

[Pat Gray]

I kind of felt bad when I picked it up. (not really...lol) Are their any marking to possibly find out when it was made? The cable still has the protective coating on it when it was made. Found the cable guides but still looking for the chain and hook. Anyone around western Washington have an extra one to sell? Thank you all for responding to my questions. Thanks again,

Man I wish I could get my hands on a winch, they don't grow on trees in Canada like they do in the US. Any more of them things down there in Washington?

 

[Pat Gray]

I will keep an eye out for you. I will be glad to help out the best neighbors in the world!! I am looking forward to drive the AL-CAN highway this next summer, if I do find you one I will let you know.
Thanks

Thanks Pat!

I would be in your debt. Let me know if you see any decent XML tires laying around too lol
