Winch identification help!!!! (1 Viewer)

I have this winch that doesn't have any markings it's been painted over all that's on there is the weight capacity and I really need to know what kind it is because I need to wire the solenoids up because it's also missing the original posts so it doesn't have post just as a wires coming out of it

That’s an aircraft landing gear winch motor … some use them as winches

John aka @Living in the Past has one on one of his rigs

There’s a pic on mud of a few… LITP could probably post his up to show you

Btw no free spool… just winch in and out

Few pictures of the one that was on my 73 FJ40 FST when I bought it.

Some of this were suppose be made from military planes land gear. Mine was suppose th be made from a military jet engine starter. It's only single direction. Land gear motor would most likely be two direction. Only time I used it was to load the cruiser on to a car hauler when I bought it in 1994. My guess is if I wired a battery to the vehicle it would still work. Three of these pictures were taken last year. One showing the whole is two years ago.
