Complete except for a switch to active the solenoid?

Could make a nice winch for a trailer?

There is no mounting hardware but that stuff was application specific and it doesn't look like it came from a Bronco anyway. It would be perfect as a dedicated trailer winch. You could even mount it under the deck.

Trailer winch is exactly what I was thinking.

Viper, do you happen to know the wiring setup? I think I'll try to hook up a battery to it and make it work before buying it.

Looks like this.

You can bypass the solenoids and run the motor directly. 3 terminals on motor, 2 field terminals next to each other and 1 armature terminal by itself. Apply 12V to 1 field and jump the other field to the armature. Reverse the fields for reverse direction.
