It looks like the winch was left on the beach:

This is a photo from 31 July 1947, and the cab and winch are there but the arm isn’t. It still surprised me that the tractor would still have been operational, but maybe the winch wasn’t and so it was left behind, while the blade
was salvaged for re-attaching to the tractor?
