I picked up a real nice track winch today this is my first good find , very nice feeling to get this peace . It could be NOS as No bad rust and it has that Dark grease on the nuts , other wise it's been sitting dry in a shed for years . Dale



Plus and jack stand aswell




Winch came with the hold down straps and fasteners

Dale, with regard to the studs, I think they are all the same except there is one smaller one. I think they all have lock nuts (someone will correct me if I am wrong) and the all have a clip in a hole in the end, to stop the wing nut falling off. I would guess length at 2 inches.
Your track jack is nice. It is only missing its pin and knurled nut.
Your jack bracket is different from the common one. Does yours belong to a specific carrier makers production, or is it an early/late thing?

Thanks Lynn . Can someone tell me if the LH and RH track strainer arm no 582/5 and 582/6 parts to be straight or have a bend in them as in the list of spare parts . My one they bend in towards the spindle .? as in the first photo Dale

[Lynn Eades]

They are originally straight.

You might find that when you fit your track strainer in the proper bracket the bent arms may not locate in their location properly.
The threaded rod for the tool clamps in the book say 3/4 inch long, I have samples of NOS ones that are 62mm long, see pictures, and yes the one down on the back bulkhead R/H corner is 3/16 dia. , all others 5/16 unf. Cheers

Thanks Andrew I've pulled off the arms to be straighten , as I test fitted them to track and they would not locate into the track sides .. good photos of the tool clamp rod and nut .I have the proper brass nuts . Today brought a meter of 5/16 UNF threaded rod will make some up and add the wire .. Dale . PS Andrew what do you know about my jack holder ?

[Andrew Rowe]

Hi Dale , never seen this one before, have other examples of where the sides have been modified to take a different jack of the era, and of course the standard jack, but not this one.
