The operation tech manual states nothing about the hinged lock on the winch for the clutch lever. Is that just to trick old guys like me, or am I missing something. Was quite embarrassing to try and operate the winch until watching a YouTube on the winch and seeing him flip that lock over.

It's there to help make sure the winch isn't engaged by accident when not in use, a necessary safety. If it were to be engaged in the cab by accident , improper adjustment, or frame twisting AND engaged up front at the winch then it would be a bad day. My truck shows evidence of this happening to it at some point and a search here in the forum will show you exactly what can happen. When I drive my deuce and park it somewhere, I always check the clutch lever and lockout upon returning bc people like to play with levers.
