Dog clutch drive off the front of the crank. Weasels and GPAs had the
same winch but needed a belt drive to get it up to deck level. I seem
to remember there is one chap in the U.S. who can supply all the winch
bits and pieces, and somewhere on one of the Australian jeep sites is a
downloadable copy of a report on testing of a winch.

Dont know if any came from the factory with it, but it would be useful.
For every three jeeps I see with a winch only one has it hooked to the
engine, you would think if they have spent the money for a winch
another few pounds / dollars / yen for the winch drive would be in
order.

If you see a winch drive pulley setup for jeep head mounting with a
STAMPED SHEETMETAL pulley it is for a GPA, the Weasel one looks almost
the same but the pulley is heavier and cast. Gordon 8-)
