M54 winch question

[Monty]

Can any 5 ton have a winch installed? I looked at my transfer case and I don't see any PTO access. There is a cover on the rear of the transfer case but it looks to be for inspection, can someone point me in the right direction.
Thanks

the pto for the winch is driven off the transmission. you need to remove the inspection cover, install studs and then the pto unit.

The winch and extensions are the same for the M54 series, the M5A2 series and the M800 series... the drive shafts vary somewhat by application...the pto's are the same... You can mount a pto on the rear of the xfer case, but it is usually for running a pump for a rear application..all detailed in the manuals which I harp on constantly...

Your correct, I do need to get the manuals. I pulled the recomended manual numbers off the data plates but I'm looking to get them in hard copy's. I have went through and started to pull the manual's up that are on the site but they take a long time to load with a dial up.

If you look at my thread in the five ton forum I showed how I put a winch on my M52. I had to buy the PTO takeoff and the PTO shaft as well as the control levers from TNJ Murray in New JerseyDover Del. The process is not that hard but it is going to take a bit of work and time to get one installed and running.
