★ Essential safety component that automatically engages when the winch is not under tension. Regular inspection and replacement of worn brake lining is crucial for safe winch operation.
Application
Dodge WC 1/2 Ton 4x4 (1941-1942), Dodge WC 3/4 Ton 4x4 (1942-1945), Dodge WC 1-1/2 Ton 6x6 (1943-1945) and Dodge M37/M43 (1951-1968) equipped with Braden LU4 or MU2 winch.
Installation notes
The brake band must be adjusted regularly. During installation, first thoroughly clean the band and inspect for cracks or wear. Ensure the band is completely smooth before fitting new lining. After installation, bed in the brake on the brake drum for optimal contact. Check adjustment regularly — the cable should be able to be pulled out by hand without the drum overrunning.
Compatibility
Fits ONLY Braden LU4 and MU2 winches as used on Dodge WC-series and M37-series vehicles. NOT compatible with Garwood winches (GMC CCKW/DUKW) or other winch types. Early MU2 versions (5,000 lbs) and late MU2 versions (7,500-8,000 lbs) use the same brake band.
Historical context
Braden winches were standard equipment on winch-equipped Dodge military vehicles during WWII. The external band brake was a proven design that automatically locked the drum as soon as the drive was disengaged, essential when recovering vehicles under combat conditions.
