Lane Ranger 11,096 #2 Posted February 14, 2014 Tom: Did you get the winch with the remote Up and Down Switch? I see Harbor Freight has a 2500 lb winch with remote for 12 volt setup for $59.99 ! We always thought about doing this on a Wheel Horse without hydraulic lift etc. We also thought it would be great for a three point rear setup as a towing wrecker!

dodgemike 52 #7 Posted February 21, 2014 Very nice fab work! There is a picture of mine on the board somewhere. I just came straight out with an angle iron frame. My winch is mounted lower, but it will raise the blade till it hits the front axle. I did buy a Warn 1500lb ATV winch. Mounted the switch on the lift lever. That is what wore out after 5 years. The switch. Warn had updated with a rubber covered water proof switch. It was 79 dollars but worth it. Only other maintenance is cable but that is no big deal. I have a C121. Still could use a FEL. Dont know weather to buy used and rebuild or start from scratch. Sent from my SCH-S720C using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
over60pirate 24 #9 Posted March 11, 2014 Nice work. I mounted a winch on my 414 to raise the plow, and other implements. I mounted with 2 pins, so I could remove 1 pin, and pivot forward to open the hood, or by removing both pins, move it to the rear of the tractor. The same 2 pin mount, attaches, a bar, to hang barbell weights, and a trailer ball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
