Features
- Universal joint for PTO drive shaft to front winch
- Replacement part for worn or damaged joints
- Complete kit with cross and bearing caps
- Suitable for round drive shaft (original version)
- Replacement number CC996426
★ Note: 2 universal joints are required per vehicle for a complete PTO drive shaft. Check the condition of both joints when overhauling the drive line.
Application
Suitable for Dodge WC-series vehicles fitted with front winch and power take-off (PTO). The universal joints are located in the drive shaft running from the PTO output on the gearbox to the worm gear input of the front winch.
Installation notes
When replacing: verify that the bearing caps are correctly positioned and the retaining clips fully engaged. Lubricate the joint via the grease nipple with chassis grease. Check the phasing of both joints on the shaft — these must be in the same plane to prevent vibration. Always replace both joints simultaneously during overhaul.
Compatibility
Fits original round PTO drive shaft. Not compatible with later hexagonal shafts. Suitable for both early WC 1/2-ton models (with Braden MU winch) and later 3/4-ton and 6x6 models (with Braden MU2 winch). Check the condition of the corresponding yokes — worn yokes cannot be combined with new joints.
Historical context
The PTO-driven front winch was an important feature of Dodge WC-series lorries, initially with 10,000 lbs capacity on the early 1/2-ton models and later 5,000-7,500 lbs on the 3/4-ton versions. The universal joints in the drive shaft were critical components that had to withstand heavy loads during winching operations in the field.
