Bill: The MSU3-10F is rated at 8,000 pounds capacity on the first layer, with a 3:1 safety favtor and a breaking strength of about 24,000 pounds. I imagine most of the internal parts (gears, bearings) are similar, if not identical, to the MU-2 and are therefore still available. But you might have to search a bit harder for the dog clutch, which is similar to (the location is identical to the location of) the dog clutch on a MU used on the WC 1/2 ton 4X4 Doges trucks. VPW would be a good source for these winch parts.
