Winch price check please

[Boatcarpenter]

M-715 owners,
What is the fair market price for a complete winch setup for an M715. Lever, PTO, PTO shaft, winch etc. in useable or easily repairable condition.
Thanks much,
BC

Last time I checked, about 900-1200.

better makee sure its good as some parts for them are getting very hard to find often. mostly prices are from $1000.00 + up for quality setups. less quality means less $$$$$

For a good one, expect it to be $1000 to $1500. Those that have them for sale know what they have... If you find one for less, better take a very good look at it.

It may be cheaper to watch the boards and Ebay and buy the parts as they appear, If you are not in a hurry.

Wow Gimpy, You don't look the same in your avatar as the last time I saw you.

Thanks all,
Here is the scoop. My buddy and I have a chance to pick up an M715 for $100 over what the junkyard has into it which was scrap price. Has complete winch setup, good tailgate, good bed, good windshield frame with glass, seat frames, wiper motors, instrument panel w/gauges, good hood, supposed to run, tranny, t-case, no wheels or tires, 1 rim that might fit is in the bed, cab floor is shot.
I don't know much about these rigs so I'm just trying to find out if we part it out for fair prices I could make a little cash to put into my Deuce.

PS. What is the TM# for the LU4. My old tired eyes can not read the white lettering on the gray background in the old forum.

BC,
look through the attached text files and see if it's any better reading.

My eyes are 65 years old and I had the same problem, hence the files!

M715 parts

Yes, this is a good "find".

Go also to M715 Zone - Powered by vBulletin and see how many 715 owners there are on this site. They also have a "for sale" forum.

Winch alone is worth $1 to 1.5 K. Many parts are hard to find. Good luck!

Right now I'm trying to get my M725 started. I'm pretty sure it is carburetor related.

 

[bcowanwheels]

bet the engine is bad, hope not for you......

 

[Boatcarpenter]

Finally picked up the M715. Didn't have enough time to do more than really get it back to my buddies shop.
Here are a few pics of the beast on the trailer.
May start picking it apart next week.

A complete whinch set including all needed parts is to my knowledge some $2500 in workable condition.
Must install yourself.

I'm thinking someone wanted a windshield frame but I can't seem to figure out who. If you are looking for one, PM me.
Thanks,
