D2 n hyster winch cost

seems expensive for the USA, but then again the D2's are cheaper there than here, so the overall cost is lower I guess.

A winch to suit a D2 in Aus would be 1. very hard to find and 2. very expensive - some say over 2500Au dollars. But so far I have not seen any for sale that are worth buying.

I have an Aussie-build one on my D2 that fits real good though😊

One for sale now on the Portland OR craigslist for 1500.

I'd say $1,200 to $1.500 is more in line unless it's been completely rebuilt.
That also has to include all the controls and mounting brackets.

Not sure if this is apples to apples, but I sold the PCU off my D4 winch three years or so ago for $400 pick up at my place. Fellow was restoring a military D42T with cable unit and needed it to complete his machine to make it functional. May have been able to get more, but who knows. He was from Pennsylvania-never did send me any pics.

I'll reinstall my winch at some point-still need the top-cover where the PCU rested.

D4 winch in Aus will cost up to 2 grand, eg., a D4D Hyster. A D2 winch in good nick is likely to cost more as there are fewer of them and the main reason for fitting them appears to be for better machine balance and appearance rather than for dragging stuff.

Interestingly, the D4 7U machines I've seen that have had winches fitted have nearly all had cracked rear transmission cases. One of my wrecks also has a severe twist to the internal PTO spline/shaft. This is clear evidence of severe abuse.

Does a D2 winch require a PTO to operate?

yes, it needs a power source from the gear box.

Does a D2 winch require a PTO to operate?

The Hyster D2 and D2N do not need a seperate PTO, they have a shaft that couples with the lower (counter) shaft in the transmisssion. I picked up a D2N about 4 years ago for $1500 USD.
