: You need a PTO on your transmission to use a PTO

: lever to engage it. If there isn't one you would
: probably be best served using an electric winch
: such as the Ramsey you mentioned.
If you have the M-37 parts (PTO, PTO shaft, winch, winch extensions (frame rail), you can install
on any M-37, M-43 or similar variant. The cut out in the floor board is present on all vehicle (as far as I know)
and takes a little bit of time to cut it out.
If you want authenticy - go with the LU-4, a Ramsey (12v or 24v???) will work but you may have to beef up your
electricals to handle the current required.
