M108 earning its keep!

Well, I couldn't be outdone by Mr 73M819 so I pulled the stops off the crane today. I needed to swap winches on the 108 but my little engine hoist has developed a problem. Attached are 2 static pics of how I swapped the winch. Sorry for the poor pics, had to use the phone.

Whats up with the winch? Bust it pulling someone out?

Well, I've never tried it. I seem to have extra winches so I swapped it out for the one that came off the tractor. The one that came off has bent top and back straps and the rod on the bottom is missing. I've taken this removed winch and added bumper extrensions and a PTO and put them in the back of Mikes new deuce. He can freshen up the winch, buy a shaft and shifter and put it on the dropside. I small token of my appreciation for all his help getting the trucks home. I still have one more winch setup for the new dropside.
