Winch Setup Compatiability between a M813 and a M517?

[rumplecat]

I have a couple of winch setups(cut from frame) of M813s, will these bolt up to a M517 dump truck? I know the PTO and linkage is different but will the actual bumper extension match the 517 frame?

what is a m517?

you mean a 817??, if so everything is the same

A M517 is the 5 ton dump truck that preceded the M817 model of trucks. Like my M543A2 preceded the M816 series.

M51 maybe? And yes winch is backwards compatible.

drive shaft is different

PTO shaft length is different.

Thanks, I have a pto and shaft that should fit, it was just the frame fit that was a mystery! I hope to look at the truck tomorrow, the price is still an issue but if it is as described I may have me a dump truck next week.
