Winch ID.

[Charles]

I have this very old winch and have no idea what the hell it is. Its made by Braden and its worm driven. Anyone seen one of these before? Know anything about it? Load capacity or line speed? I plan to put a new motor on it. Other than that its in good shape. Just tryin to find out some info on it.

The only marking I can find on it are:
Braden Winch
Broken Arrow. Okla
74-19475

I tried to find it online but I think its too old. Can't find any info. I tried punching the number into a model search and nothing. Says it only goes back to 1970 lol. I don't know if that means its older than that or what.
Anyways, heres a couple pics. If you know anything about it let me know please!!!






Looks very ugly, very old, but very able. I hope I'm right!!

Thanks man. So far thats the only thing I've read about it. Sounds like its an 8k lb, probably a little slow, and about 45 years old lol.
I'll tell ya, other than the electric motor being toast its in great shape. I'm definatly going to be gearing this up for my truck!!

Did you end up using the winch on your truck?

[Charles]

Not yet. But I still plan on using it.
