Help with winch identification please

Can anyone tell me what winch is on this machine? It has no tags on it. And it's not a carco. That name is usually built right into the cast. This winch has nothing on it. Thank you

    Looks like a Hyster winch which Cat used back in the day.

    Hyster winches were the weapon of choice back then. System lists Model 55 or Model 56 winches for a 10K tractor. Can you see anything on the ID plate just above and to the left of the winch.?

    That's a Caterpillar model 55/56 winch. S/n 35Uxxxx for powershift transmission.

    Figured Old Magnet would instantly recognize it.
