★ Essential part for PTO winch maintenance. Prevents oil loss and ensures reliable operation of the worm gear system.

Application

Fits vehicles equipped with Braden MU, MU-2, LU-2 or LU-4 winches, including Dodge WC-series (1/2 ton 4x4 1941-1942, 3/4 ton 4x4 1942-1945, 1-1/2 ton 6x6 1943-1945) and Dodge M37/M43 variants (1951-1968). Also applicable to civilian Dodge Power Wagons with these winches (1946-1968).

Installation notes

Two seals required per winch. Fit the seal in the bearing retainer on the worm shaft. When replacing, check the winch oil level — the worm shaft and part of the driven gear must be below the oil level (SAE 90 gear oil). Replace both seals simultaneously for optimal results.

Compatibility

Only for Braden MU, MU-2, LU-2 and LU-4 winches. Not compatible with other winch types. Check which winch is fitted to your vehicle — most Dodge WC and M37 lorries had MU-2 winches, later Power Wagons often LU-4. The seal fits all mentioned variants.

Historical context

The Braden MU and MU-2 winches were fitted as standard to Dodge WC lorries with PTO system during WWII. The later LU-4 was used on the M37-series and civilian Power Wagons. The worm gear design makes these winches self-locking — the drum cannot be driven by load on the cable.
