what to do with this winch??

[bugwugger]

pm sent eagle, dont wanna make this post sound like a classified ad. But with an estimated weight of 6000 lbs, transfer would have to be from truck to truck or use of book truck. If anyone is interested please please PM me.

I have no use for it.

But,I'd sure like to see it grunt, under a full pull.

did it come with a small remote winch to pull that cable out? I can only imagine how much 200ft of 1 in cable weighs

You know that would make a nice mini crane!! Let me pick up the truck to look under there for ya!

I have the same 20K Garwood PTO winch in the bed of my 61 Apache as I do in the Boog. The Chevy has a 292 six cylinder. Under the same load, the 292 is grunting and sweating while the Multi Fuel is yawning.

If it's fiber core cable it works out to around 336 pounds for the full length - IWRC cable would be 370 pounds. Not as heavy as you might imagine - but a heck of a load to just pick up and drag out by hand!

Yes, it works. That engine realy does run smooth.

Now get out there and put a load on it.

That is a neat winch, what did the trucks former owner use this for? It is a mechanical mule, probably was built for moving logs in a sawmill.

Personally I would not part with it, but I need therapy.

On second look I noted the capstan winch attached to the end... this was probably on a ship at one time or used by a railroad.

Owner used it for semi recovery. Used to site on a hill during the winter and pull em up the hill. Used front winch to hook to. I had to buy the truck with the winch even though I couldnt use it :/

I think a fair starting point on it would be 2 K. If I was still in KY I would have bought it in a heartbeat, but too far for me now.
