What is your location and do you need early or late model winch. I have an early model off a 5-J. In western Pa.
I'm in Washington state, not sure of the year. from the little i know about these atm i think its a later model. 5U7348 serial number machine.
:edit: do you know what the difference is in the machines?
The winch I have is the early model Hyster D2 off a 1944 model. not the one the later tractors take, I think it is a Hyster D2N . Too far away to ship anyway.
Hi Jack,
there's no mounting difference in the main winch case is there? I have a Hyster D2 winch (not D2N) that I was planning to put on my 5U. I don't have the top bracket so that needs to be made anyway, but if it's not going to actually fit the 5U, then maybe I could let it go. I thought they were largely interchangeable
There is no Hyster winch mounting difference on any of the D2's, the only differences are, there are several different shift lever and brake lever arrangements. The D2N is the later Model, the difference between the D2 and D2N is the D2N is built a little more stout throughout, both work well when maintained properly.
