Default Gherlein winch rear axels

No markings. Were these manufactured with some standard rear axel or a variety of parts? Most look like a GM 48 inches wide, between brake drums.

Join Yahoo WinchDesign group and ask. As far as I know, they were built with whatever happened to be available at the time. Might be cheaper to replace the entire axle with, say, a Ford 9 inch or something newer, for which parts will be more readily available.

Plenty of websites. The design engines were 283 and 327 IIRC from plans, so a '60's generation diff would seem to make sense. Several web sites with ID methods.

Thank you for the ref pages.

This winch was delivered with a very tired old 327. No winch model markings or serial numbers otherwise. Nothing found on the winch engineering site about stats or others experiences with one or two drum Gerhlein models or didn't look far enough.

Look on "Winch Design" not "Winch Engineering". Not the same group.

After a little more digging, this may help assuming the diff is also chevy

With Frank's refs, found the differential markings 9L3 and 2T on our 48 inch axel.

Likely Ford 9 inch 1960's two ton, Mercury or Mustang. Still looking for a more current 48 inch equivalent with the same gear ratio.

No joy searching or posting on the Winch Design group, but we persist.

Thank you.

I used to be a pretty fair gearhead, are there any pictures of the axle, what gear ratio is the present axle?
