★ Small spring with a major function — indispensable for a correctly functioning winch brake system on WWII Dodge vehicles.
Application
This spring is specific to the Braden MU and MU-2 winches that were fitted from WWII onwards on Dodge 3/4-ton WC-series vehicles (1942-1945) and later M37/M43-series trucks (1951-1968). The winch was driven via the power take-off (PTO) and featured an automatic band brake mechanism to hold the cable drum in place.
Installation notes
When replacing, check the complete brake shoe link assembly for wear. The spring must return the link to rest position with sufficient tension. Ensure that the automatic band brake mechanism releases correctly under winch load and engages automatically when the drive is disengaged.
Compatibility
For Braden MU and MU-2 winches only. Not to be confused with parts for the LU-4 or other winch types. Some WC half-ton trucks very rarely had these winches; standard equipment on approximately 1 in 10 cargo trucks. Always check the winch data plate before ordering parts.
Historical context
The Braden MU-2 winch was standard equipment on a limited number of WWII Dodge WC-series vehicles and was later also fitted to M37-series trucks. The automatic band brake mechanism was a crucial safety feature that prevented the winch from reversing in the absence of load.
