Winch, np205, speed?

[chicklin]

Hey guys, refresh my memory. I'm looking at a winch truck. This should mean it has an np205, right? If I put 11.00 x 16's on it with that t-case, I should be able to run 55 mph for hours, right?

winch trucks still have the 200. the pto is actuated off the transmission.

The welder/generator trucks, most of them anyway, had the 205...

Ah, that's right, couldn't remember. Thanks, guys!

If they were converted from M715's to maintenance trucks they had the np205. If they were original M274 cab/chassis trucks they will have the np200.

Thats the difference...thanks Kwai!!

So, if the military put 205's in them at some point, is there a factory bracket for this or did they fab them up just like we have to? Could you use the crossmember from the Dodge truck you get the np205 from? Sorry, this has probably been answered before.

My 715/6217 has the 205 mount fabbed up. It still uses the stock cross-members. Definitely not a "factory" job.

I know this has been covered, can you point me to a thread that has an overview of what needs to be fabbed up to make the np205 work?

This isn't a full tech article, but here is what most people have done.

Take the stock crossmember, move the pedistal on the driver side over a few inches, make a piece of metal to connect it to the top of the NP205 and make something connect the passenger side to the side of the NP205.

Here is the mount I fabbed up for mine:

You will notice a NP205 pto will fit just fine in there. Now if I could just save the money to get the 32 spline 1310 yokes I want instead of buying more green iron, I could put it in my truck and enjoy higher fuel cost.
