Winch is officially bolted to the frame of my M1088! The only strange thing was that the Platform Support Bracket had to be modified... No big deal, bit the winch when bolted in place covered the second hole in that bracket. Used a cutting wheel in a 4 inch grinder to slice it off. Pictures...

Thanks! Not sure that I could round up four people but that is an idea too. A bar or a 2x4 with the strap in the middle supporting the PTO would let two folks not have to work as hard as it would be with only one... Having multiple options is a good thing! - Tim

Neat!! Thanks ramdough ! Just walking through the steps helps a lot. It really is amazing how heavy that little ball of iron is! And on your back, and reaching up over your head... Today for some reason, I tried my SAE sockets on the bolts that came with my PTO. Trying to plan ahead, and I...

Nice. I will go hunt down that thread! We managed to get the winch bolted to the side of the truck today. I have a really amazing college kid that really gives me hope for the future of our country helping (doing) some MV work. He goes back to school in a couple of weeks but it sure has...
