If I am not mistaken, the early W500's were equipped with the MU series winch, only the W200 & W300s had the LU-2 model, up to 1960?In actuality though, Comparing the LU-2 with the MU2 series, yes, the steel worm and bronze worm gear are the same for either winch. The winch ratings as published by Dodge do vary based on cable size, however, the 1960 Braden catalogue ratings are the same for both models at 8,000 lb. It is noted by Braden in the catalogue that the listed rating is actually 50% of the breaking strength of the components! It is noted that actual strength is based on cable size, type and number of wraps on the drum.
