<h1><em>CALGARY, ALBERTA&nbsp;CANADA -</em>&nbsp;Braden winch owner Peter MacDonald answers the question, &ldquo;How long can a Braden winch last?&rdquo; MacDonald&rsquo;s 1961 Series 2 Land Rover is equipped with a 1962 Braden LU2 10F winch&hellip; and it&rsquo;s still going strong!&nbsp;</h1> <p>According to MacDonald, 50 plus years hasn&rsquo;t slowed the LU2 down. &ldquo;I hauled a Dodge out of the mud last weekend using five other vehicles to anchor me,&rdquo; says MacDonald,&rdquo;&hellip;it is very impressive.&rdquo;</p> <p>The LU2 was originally designed as a PTO winch for pick-up trucks. These winches were fitted to Ford, Chevrolet, Jeep and other name brand trucks from the late 1950s to the mid-1960s.&nbsp;MacDonald&rsquo;s 2,900 lb. Land Rover Series 2 is believed to be a surplus vehicle used as part of the British Army Unit Suffield in Alberta.</p> <p>Find more about PACCAR Winch product and service solutions at <a href="http://www.paccarwinch.com/">www.PACCARWinch.com</a>, or by phone at 918-251-1575.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
