M38Cdn Refurbishment

Hmmm? If Doctor Evil had used one of those things on Bond instead of lasers, focused sunrays, sharks, sawmills, or other doomed-to-failure execution methods, maybe the franchise would have only been one movie long?

What PTO is that on your transfer case? There seem to be a lot of grooves on the pulley. I have seen reference to PTO driven welders in the back of the M38s....was that the original purpose of this PTO?

Hi Rob, this drives my winch and I believe it's a Ramsey unit. I can get specifics like casting numbers when I get home if needed.

I was just curious. I believe DND had some M38s equipped with the welders. I have a proper Ramsey PTO for the military winch, and have owned several others over the years, but I have not seen that PTO before. Did it come with your Jeep? Do you have the original Ramsey 50 winch on yours?

Pete: what does your PTO look like from a different angle than shown above? I think this is the PTO model Rob is referencing...

Great progress Pete! Looking forward to watching your progress (after you finish with hunting season, of course...).

Wayne: Yes, that is the normal military PTO I was talking about.
Looking at Peters photos, could it be nothing more than a different pulley on the rear of the PTO as opposed to the normal drive flange?

Looking at Peter's photo of the front left of the engine you can just see the downward extension of the PTO with the cast writing on it so I think it is the same unit.
