Hi everyone,
I'm in the market for a winch for my D47U I purchased from another member of this forum last week. Hoping to find someone within a couple of hundred miles from zip code 61364 which is Streator, IL

I do not have a PTO on mine crawler, and I honestly don't know if there is a hydraulic version, or if I need a PTO driven one, if so Im guessing I would be looking for the complete setup.

If you have one you would like to sell please let me know either by phone, 815-822-4225 or send me a PM.

Thankyou, Mike

On a Discussion post on 3/30/14 there are pictures of a Gearmatic winch on a D2. The post is titled D2 Canopy. Not sure if Cat or dealer ever installed them or they have been added as a clean aftermarket install. The Gearmatics are quite easy to adapt to many machines as they only need an input shaft to operate. All controls are in the one lever brake fluid controller. They are all free fall out and power in. Like everything old the smaller Model 8 and Model 9 are getting harder to find. If thinking about going that way stay away from a Model 19 if possible. They almost took a second winch to pull the cable out. I have a spare Model 20 in the shed but it may be oversized for a D4.

mike, they're extremely hard to find complete, especially with the hand controls.
good luck.
