Braden LU-2 help, also need 1970 transfer case shift boot.

Hi all,

Finally making some headway on the 1970 Power Wagon (labeled an E20 on the door tag) that I've been needing to get going for a wood truck. Factory 383 4sp PTO rig, ex WA state Dept of Game flatbed truck. Pretty beat but mostly all there. Mice ate some of the T case shift boot, so I need to find a replacement, the correct one would be nice. Also need help with the LU-2 winch, the elver was broken and welded, I'd like to replace it, will probably need to go through the winch, it was leaking oil til it ran out a few years ago, and feels like it's stuck.

Driveline to the winch looks excellent!

Cable feels stuck?



Thx!

My LU-2 also had broken lever & the free-spool wouldnt release, but the winch would work via the PTO shaft. I got the spool to release with lots up penetrant & big pry lever.
I think they all leak.

Hopefully you don't have to replace the big brass gear inside the case. I got the last one Braden-Paccar had for the LU-2 model. They did have a new levers though. I will try to find the part number and contact for it.

Thx guys ;-{)

Truck's getting a little bit better everyday, down to small projects like tailights, gas gauge, and other misc stuff. Put on a brand new set of direct replacement Trico blades yesterday, NAPA Pt No: (I'll post the # tomorrow when I get out to the shop to look at the receipt.

Here is what I got from Braden (now Paccar) when I bought the new brass gear and t-handle.
