Anyone that has one of these "classic" winches may be interested in the pics of the project I just finished.

I ordered a new brake band from the 4wd place in Minnesota with the rights to these things, and still have to have a thimble swedged on the end of the cable, but it all works well. I have it set up with a warn remote and dual solenoids wired parallel for the power in.

EDIT------------------
Hope this works. Damn I'm no good at this stuff!

Links aren't working.

can't link pics from webshots...

worked fine for me, that is a beast of a winch.
looks like the bumper came off a train.. grin

hmm..thanks. I think? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> You can tell I wasn't really concerned about rock crawling with the design. It's stout, removable, and fits pretty tight to the grill. Did I say it was stout? <img border="0" alt="[Shiner]" title="" src="graemlins/shiner.gif" /> Approach angle isn't too bad by my standards.

Link worked just fine. That is one STOUT bumper.

Stout makes it sound reaaaaally heavy, which it isn't. The sides are 12ga, and the winch box is 3/16" & 1/4". I would guess about 75-85# for the steel, and 80# more for the winch. I was able to pick it up myself and mount it. It slides into 2 reciever size tubes mounted under the frame. Incorporated some gussets/bracing to strengthen the frame where it attaches. I can remove it by pulling 2 3/4" bolts and the wiring. I was going for the "look" of the ARB and TJM bumpers when I modeled it, but I had to weld all of the seams, because forming would have doubled the cost. I have $150 and about 2 small spools of .030 wire into it. <img border="0" alt="[Drunk]" title="" src="graemlins/drunk.gif" />
