Got my Winch on!

[pdstout]

Guys, with lost of help, and good advice I got my winch on. Steve and Bob were a huge help. Air tools are a must. I could not tell you how much time it saved. I now need to add air steering.

Did you already have the winch or buy it? From prices I've seen on them one would almost be better off buying another winch truck and using everything but the winch for spare parts. Are these things always priced as much as a truck?

The going rate on a"winch kit" (take off winch and all associated parts from another truck) is about $1000

Do all M35a2's have PTO take-offs? I talked to someone at Boyce Equipment, and they said I was better off buying a winch truck, rather than trying to retrofit one.

i believe w/o winch trucks don't come with the p-t-o box on t-case mine doesn't...

and if you change it out...it will take "lost of help"

Actually the PTO for the normal winch deuce goes on the transmission not the Transfer Case. There is also a front rear PTO that goes on the transmission also and a very rare rear facing Transfer Case PTO. None winch trucks do not come with the PTO.

I bought a parts truck and used the winch off of it. Took a couple weekends by myself. Sold most of the parts remaining and covered my expenses. check GSA for one.

It's about time. I'm just wondering about all those extra parts....

Pete was right we were "Lost" but it was a good thing that we had my deuce W/W to help... That is to say to look at for reference... By the way the P.T.O. bolts up to the side
of the transmission. Remove the bolts and side cover plate, install 6 studs, gasket, P.T.O
and secure with nuts. I was amazed at how well this add on went...

By the way Pete didn't mention that we changed his Turbo to a whistler last week...

Air assist steering??? Pete you're on your own on this one...

You did shim the PTO didn't you? If you just added a gasket and bolted it on I'd check it before I ran the truck much.
