The MU2 is all cast iron unit with lever on gear side. This model is used on all 3/4 ton WC WWII Dodges and WDX-WM300 1 ton Power Wagons. MU2's will take more abuse.
The LU2 has cast aluminum housings and lever is opposite gear case. This winch was utilized on '57-'71 W100-200's & '58-'71 W300's. These are conventional cab trucks. The LU2 has specific designed frame extensions, support angles and fairlead that contribute to it's strength for each model truck. The LU2 is more compact, taking only 9" instead of the MU2's 13". The gears are bearings on both interchange. Physically the winches look very different.
