Hardware
We specialize in quality reproduction
mounting hardware for the Willys Jeep (
CJ-2A & CJ-3A models ) Link Belt
Capstan Winch (See
below for more information on Link
Belt). Some, but not all parts are
interchangable with early military models
such as MB, GPW, M38 & M38A1. See
individual parts listing for
clarification.
We have reproduced the winch
mounting hardware using winch hardware from
an original New Old Stock (NOS) Capstan
Winch. Our parts are
top quality reproductions. Our
castings are made from a high alloy bronze,
and are actually stronger than the
originals. Our other reproduction parts are
machined or stamped steel, just like the
original. We include all mounting
hardware.

parts assemblies.

About
the Link Belt Capstan Winch
The
Link Belt capstan winch was designed late
in WWII as an improved capstan winch for
the MB. Field reports indicated that the
Braden winch, (model J-2), in use at that
time, was failing under heavy use. The
Braden J-2 was not as reliable as the Link
Belt, as the gear teeth had a tendency to
strip. The improved Link Belt winch was
manufactured to overcome the problems of
the earlier Braden winch.*
 The Link Belt
winch can be identified by three cap screws
in the top of the winch head (as seen in
the diagram on the right).
Though designed for military
application, the Link Belt capstan winch
was never actually used on WWII Jeeps, but
was the standard model used on the
CJ-series civilian Jeeps.
