i need help i just got a mile marker winch that is a military winch it has the military conectors and everything it was straight off a hmmvve i need help wiring it up has any one had any experince it is a hydrolic version i need help with the way it all hooks up thanks for your help in advance

 

Wouldn't that be a 24v winch? I don't even know if hyd winches use any electrical as I have only used ele winches but it may be something to think about.

 

@cummins army:
The easiest thing is to call mile marker and to tell them your model number. They will provide you with the needed manual and all details you need to know.
They have an excellent customer service.

Dunno about the hydro part, but yeah, if it's got any electric on it, then you'll need to rig for 24v going to the winch...if you can, what'd i'd do for the electrical is run a slave cable from your batteries so that you've got 24v at the end of it, and then splice a female slave receptacle onto the end of the wires for the winch and you'll have an easy quick disconnect, without having to get all crazy with wires. The hydro part, I couldn't even begin to tell you how to set that up...with deezel, easiest thing to do would be to call MM.

 

The MM tie into the high pressure line of the steering pump, then use electrical solenoids to distribute power to the winch lines instead of the steering.

MM could probably swap out the 24V solenoids for 12V versions (or they may just work) as they make a 12V hydro winch also.

Can't help with exact wiring. Like the others have said -- call MM (unless you "liberated" the winch and need to ask these sort of questions privately... ) If you don't find an answer here, check Pirate 4x4. They know everything. Wear your flame suit when you ask...

 

well i know the hydrolics hook up to the power steering pump and i am just trying out how to wire up the solenoids for the hydrolics they are 24v i just got to find a way to jump my truck to 24v or get the 12v solenoids but i will check out pirate 4x4 thanks for the info and the winch was not "liberated" that i know of ...

 

exactly the way it is...
The only electric part in the mile marker is the solenoid and the winch controller. Shouldn't be that expensive to change them out into a 12Volt unit.
You can download the install manual too.

 

i still need help any body got any ideas

 

What kind of help do you need? Install? wiring?
Still converting it from 24V down to 12V?

Please show some pics of the connectors and the solenoid.
Military stuff should have the Cannon waterproof connector system. But it should not be a problem to convert it into a civilian system.

How do you want to install it ? As a stationary system or as a portable unit?
