American,British,or German. This brought to mind another question that may be related to yours.Were all turrets electric? If so it would seem that winches would be electric, and other systems as well.great question now where to find the answer?m16 with power wench,electric?

The M31 TRV had a winch that used a PTO from the transmission. The diesel powered M31B1s PTO was at the front of the twin diesels.

What specific equipment? It depends on the application and equipment.

Recovery winch, man enough to pull a tank.

Great idea Luke using a motorbike chain but realisticly it wouldnt be strong enough to pull a tank but 10 out of 10 for imagination

Cool, just the sort of feed back i was after. I'll have a re-think. On the few drawings i have, the rear has just got a hole with a cable coming out of it, a bit boring to look at, still early days yet.
