Correct. I dont know what/if it will break, but they will run at the same time. I dont think iam gonna be able to keep my shaft winch turning slow and keep enough pressure for the Hydraulic winch at the same time. Unless i do something different for the pump.Are you describing using 2 winches simultaneously, the 45 that is there on the wrecker (shaft drive) plus another 45 hydraulic driven?
I may have to do that, i rather try the hydraulic way first.Why not operate the two winches the same way, both PTO or both hydraulic driven? That would cure your differences in RPM. I plan on having 2 hydraulic 45k garwood on mine using the standard 936 rear winch controls.

You're still sucking air! That's awesome!Why are you removing the crane? You could mount the winches outboard and keep it. Also running them both mechanically would be cheaper but harder to balance than hydraulically driven which is the direction I have collected parts for.

The crane is not big enough of what for what we do, i have yet to use it on anything but it does work. Iam gonna mount a 60k hydro winch were it is sitting.Why are you removing the crane?

As far as lifting for the crane there is a thread here where someone put twin winches on the crane for improving its lifting. Just seems to.me it would be easier and cheaper to buy another cargo truck or tractor and add a set of M916 winches and fashion them to be side by side behind the cab and run them. The complete winch unit for a 916 including platforms are around $1000. If that. The m1070 HET side by side 55ks are available however they are shaft driven by a PTO.The crane is not big enough of what for what we do, i have yet to use it on anything but it does work.

Okay so at this point you should just remove the bed and start over, what type of work are you doing? More information helps us help you. But it sounds like you need an oilfield winch truck setup. This is easily built on the back of the wrecker. We have built many at the shop I used to work for and I will be glad to point you in the right direction to build or buy what you need.Well, i cracked the driver side winch case some how. The cable broke on a long pull and i think thats what cracked the housing. Winch still works and the brass gear inside still looks good. I think now is a good time to go with a hydraulic winch in its place. I can use the winch shaft that went to the rear and install a pump on it to power both winches at the same time. Does anyone know what rpms the winch shaft is running when the trans is in 4th and 5th gear?
Ok, if my guy doesn’t come thru i will be in contactI have the tank off a M916 i think its a 60gal unit for $150 plus the ride which might be high.
