Hello all! I am just getting started. Do you know the best place for me to get a cable for the PTO driven winch on the front of my M818? Is it a 1/2 cable? Also can you recommend the best manual for this truck?

Welcome Neighbor! Listen, I caught this posting here yesterday , "Dueces Wild Fire Sale" and I go by this site in a couple weeks on my way through Maryland......
.......SaturnSurplus.com is a great site but I will be looking at this site in Denton, Md. in a couple weeks where reports indicate about 30 Dueces and associated equipment laying around for sale as parts! Check it out.....send me a pm and I'll see if I can help you out. Don, you too should contact this guy and I could pick up for you as well...REMEMBER, there is a VIRGINIA RALLY in a couple weeks to Syria, Virginia (look for planned posting from me in next couple days)

Welcome!
I haven't had to purchase a replacement wire rope for my XM813 yet, but I did replace the (smaller) ones on my M37 and XM708 a few years back. Best deal for me at the time was to purchase a spool from McMaster Carr and have it shipped to me.
Agri-Supply carries wire rope.
Your local rigging/heavy recovery folks can tell you where they source as well.
Don't skimp on the quality of the wire rope (cable) or the hardware...

The thread on teh VA rally is located at:

The info/registration form is located at:
Graves Mountain Military Vehicle Trailride and Rally

Hope that you can make it, I'll have my XM813 there...
