I recently picked up a 53 B4 in good condition with a pto winch on front. I was told by a local dodge expert that the winch was used for power utility work, and that the extended shafts had been cut off.
I stripped the paint off a tag on the winch frame which reads
HIGHWAY TRAILER CO.
Edgerton Wisconsin
Type FM-L-12
Date 6-53
Serial no. 132414
DWG & Issue DL 380
also stamped on tag on left vertical WF23
right vertical OT
I would appreciate any help with information on this as I am a recent Dodge convert, have'nt even sold my Ford yet.
Thanks
