I did not bring my computer with me, so I won’t be responding to emails for a couple days! Here’s our propose route.

Warn VS. Husky Auxiliary Overdrive

• CATEGORIES: Features, OD Other, OD Saturn/Warn This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I thought this auxiliary transmission comparison was interesting. A 1969 article promoted Warn’s Auxiliary Transmission, an overdrive that sat between the transmission and transferase. By early 1970 Husky was promoting a similar sized heavy-duty overdrive that sat between the engine and transmission.

More pics of the Warn Auxiliary Transmission. This one was sold in Nevada in 2013, priced at only $450 (also included tranny & tc).

This one was priced at $700 and sold out of Maryland:

Portable Warn Winch?

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Over the past couple of weeks falling eBay prices has allowed me to get some really neat content. So, the month of August should be a good one for new features.

Here’s the first one. I did not know that Warn produced a portable Warn winch. Anyone ever run across one of these? It appeared as part of a 1970 Warn Advertisement.
