Had my helper working on removing the PTO, he was able to remove it and get it moved to the other truck without shifting or removing the transmission. Said it was a pain but overall worth it to not remove the transmission. Both the 923 and the 925 have the 6" relief in the frame, if you stick your head under the passenger door and look at the frame & transmission near where your feet would sit in the cab, you can see the relief cut and the PTO cover on the transmission.
I took the truck to a local shop with a forklift to move the winch assembly, bumper, and frame extensions all together quickly and easily. We were a few holes short for the frame extension on my 923 but that was easy to take care of. One of the winch control cables was worn almost through from rubbing on the muffler bracket. Glad we found this, would not be fun if it broke when stuck in the field.
Now to find a M925 data plate blank so that I can have the correct data plate and serial #'s.
