★ Newly manufactured component to WWII specifications for correct mounting of the Braden MU-2 winch on vehicles equipped with power take-off system.
Application
Dodge WC 3/4 ton 4x4 (1942-1945), Dodge WC 1-1/2 ton 6x6 (1943-1945), and Dodge/Fargo/De Soto Flat Fender Civilian Power Wagon (1946-1968) and Military Export (1957-1978), exclusively vehicles fitted with Braden MU-2 winch.
Installation notes
This angle bracket is fitted between the winch base and the chassis at the front bumper. Used in combination with rear mounting angles and bumper reinforcement brackets. All mounting holes are pre-drilled. Installation requires simultaneous fitting of bumper, winch and PTO drive shaft.
Compatibility
Exclusively for vehicles with Braden MU-2 winch (7,500 lbs capacity). Not compatible with smaller MU winches (5,000 lbs) from 1/2-ton vehicles or with MU-2A variants. Does NOT fit vehicles without winch configuration — winch vehicles have an extended frame at the front.
Historical context
The Braden MU-2 winch was standard on approximately one in three Dodge WC 3/4-ton and 1-1/2-ton vehicles, driven via a power take-off from the gearbox. The winch system required a specially extended frame chassis with a front bumper 10 inches longer compared to vehicles without winch.
