Bobber 20K PTO Rear Winch

Booger,

Thanks for the pictures, this is a project that will go on my list of things to do with my MV. I will continue to watch for pics as well.
thanks,

Here are some pictures of mocking up a 5 ton winch on the rear of a Bobber.

Looks like it fits nicely! Makes the 18k lb winch under the bed of my deuce look like a toy.

Keep the pics coming; I'm really interested in how this turn out!

I had thought about adding a hydrolic winch to my truck

With the roller fairlead on the big winch, why not keep the rear crossmember and pintle hook? The two angled braces for the rear cross member just about mimic the angle of the sides of the fairleads. I actually have a 20K Garwood under the rear of my crane truck just not powered. Mounting was fairly easy using the factory winch side plates. I would seriously consider pulling the crossmember closer to the rear and moving the big winch forward in the chassis. Trust me, you WILL use the pintle hook more than the winch...though the winch is awesome to have when you need it. Seriously I would really, really, REALLY consider keeping the rear crossmember. (!!!) I've put rear winches on three trucks now.

I probably will use the rear cross member , just haven't got that far along yet. The two angle braces however won't fit because the winch is in the way. I can't slide the winch any further forward because of the spring perches. This whole rear winch thing started with trying to get the weight of my Bobber 50% front and 50% rear so it actually four wheels well. I took the front winch off and replaced it with a 16,800# 24v electric winch to lose some weight on the front and added the 20K winch to the rear. I may end up moving the fuel tank and the batteries too. It started out at 6200#'s on the front and 4800#'s on the rear so I have a ways to go.

Here is the clutch dog I was after. Thanks to Brett at Boyce.

I got the PTO together with the right gears and the shaft hooked up. Now I need to figure out some linkage so I can use the PTO in/out lever in the cab.

When I added a rear winch I used a air cylinder and it has worked out real good .

 

[booger]

I got the linkage made and the bed back on.

I see you moved the air tanks also. I had to do that with my t-case PTO. I found out that you could take another set of tank brackets and modify them to have a tank mounted against each frame rail. I wouldn't work in your case though because of the exhaust.

 

[booger]

I did have to move one tank, other than that, it's a pretty straight forward fit.

I may have an instruction operating plate for your PTO if you are in need of one. I think they are reversed from front winch instructions.

 

[booger]

It should be just IN and OUT. Right? I'd like to see it. PM with the scoop.

I did end up using the original cross member. I wasn't able to use the 20K fairlead because it stuck out too far. Nor was I able to keep the pintle hook as it is where I mounted the fairlead.
I will post a couple of pictures when I find my camera.

This is the rear winch finished...for now. I suspect I will re-do the exhaust and make it 'higher and tighter' when I get the time.
