Off Roading Hydraulic Winch Filter...

[jcbrown]

Those that have a Milemarker Winch may not know about power steering filter. Look under accessories tab.

They always recommend when you purchase the winch. I have one, and recently ordered one for another vehicle.

I'm planing on mounting a 12,000 MM in rear between frame rails just in front of aftermarket rear bumper. Would you guys recommend I get long hydrolic lines locally, or get MM's rear removable kit? I won't be removing winch, but don't know if the lines are standard fittings or other. Any info appreciated.

Would a transmission filter kit do the same thing??

I believe so, Mr. Brewski. I bought one at NAPA that looks just like the one on MM's site, and it's magnetic. I asked for a power steering fluid filter and they gave me one of those. They said it was for automatic transmissions, but people also use them on PS systems. I put it on my Jeep's hydraulic steering system, in the return line. Make sure it's in the return line, since it's plastic so I don't suppose it could survive on the high pressure side. In my mind, it'd be a good idea on any PS system. You just cut the rubber hose and put it in line.

Thats what I'm gonna do then! Thanks for the info!
