Clarkair CA-1 Discussion Board

Hi I'm about to start a Clarkair project down here in New Zealand. The machine has no winch.

Are there any winches or parts of winches for sale out there?

Did any other WW2 vehicle have the same winch or one that's close enough and can be adapted to fit?

I know they are Braden winches but can someone please tell me the model number?

This Clarkair is the only one I know of in the southern hemisphere so its all pretty exciting really

Thanks in advance Wayne

Hi wayne the winch from what I found is only for the clark air the ww2 dodge wc52 trucks have the same basic winch the drum is longer and mounts are not the same but the gears and seals are the same vintage power wagons has a nice break down of the braden mu2 good luck with your machine if i can help in any way dont be shy and stay on me I am close to finishing my first machine I am hoping to be in the 4th of july parade with it
good luck ken

Could Don Nelsen please contact me on wayne@cyndicate.co.nz as for some reason I cant get this forum to allow me to reply

Wayne, was your tractor already down there or did you ship it? Curious as to the spread of the CA-1 throughout the war.

Were they in the south pacific?
