    How to Add a Winch

    M16TY Thanks for hanging in there. I will take some pics of my trucks underside. Are they fairly easy to post? I know there is a hydraulic tank hanging on the side of the truck now. I am starting to grasp the theory and difference between pump and motor. Your saying that the "thing" that...

    M16TY: i am still trying to get this into my engineer (electrical - obviously not mechanical) brain - so bear with me: Maybe we are interchanging hydraulic pump and hydraulic motor terms. I crawled under my 923 and followed the "Winch In and Out" cable to a hydraulic "something" that had a...

    How to Add a Winch

    Could you guys tell me what all modifications need/have to be made to add a winch to a truck that is W/OW. My 1983 923 has the controls in the cab, and the winch in and out has a cable attached to it and I found a hydraulic pump with a smooth shaft coming out of it. Not sure about the PTO...
