Found the data summary for the ARVL. It is a Pacific Car and Foundry model P30 (modified) 20,000 pound hydraulic winch.
The ARVL was the very first M113 FOV I had to drive on the highway. It was an end ex, and for some reason I got thrown into the pig. The heater flooded out, so no heat, and the thing was all over the road as we crossed over the swamp heading towards Douglas. The infantry carriers we were with scooted off into the distance and we caught up to them at the coffee stop.
I have no fond recollections of that trip.
