I have a 1948 3T with a front mounted winch. The winch is past saving. A friend may have a D9 of the same vintage with a good winch on it. Does anyone know if these would have been the same size on both machines?

OM I,m thinking if it,s from an early D9 18A or 19A that it no doubt is a 30 cable control & probably a 54C or a 57E serial number.

Yes it could be a 24 control & the 8D Serial Number came out in 1945 so it,s in about that era.

The D7 is a #24 unit serial numbers 8D501-up
There is also as serial number 33E1 #24 unit of about the right era.
The #30 27E1 & 54C1 came a little later.
Having the serial number would pin it down.

The D7 uses the #24 CCU, and the D9D and D9E uses the #30 CCU, and despite the drum diameter being the same at 11" for both, there is a substantially larger clutch plate facing area in the #30 (i.e. a larger number of plates). I don't think you will be able to make a #30 fit the D7.
