I may be missing the obvious again here.
I have a front-facing PTO, but no winch. I'm in the market for one.
I have some hydraulic accessories I'd love to run off a PTO pump, but I won't have the bed clearance to run a rear-facing PTO (transfer case).
I could modify the PTO shaft to carry a chain ring (right at the PTO output or at the winch input), but:
1. I'm wondering if the winch can be run with the clutch disengaged for extended periods without causing problems.
2. Is it possible to pass the PTO drive _through_ the winch? The drive comes in at the back of the winch... Are splines accessible through a front cover on the winch possibly? Fabricating a front seal or adapter housing isn't a problem.
Thanks fellas.
