Update. WINCH INSTALL!!!
Picked up a winch "kit" yesterday and today decided to work on getting the bumper off the 818. Based on the work it took to get my deuce bumper off when installing her winch, I figured getting the 818's bumper off would be an all day job. My deuce's previous operator tack welded bolts to the frame/bumper...lots and lots of hacksaw blades and colorful language that day.
Anyhoo, the 818's front bumper came right off. After some cleaning and painting, the bumper extensions went right on. Something had to be wrong, ain't nothin suppose to be this easy.
Picked the winch up by hand (riiiight, with the engine lift) and slid it onto the extensions until it wouldn't move any further. Got a block of wood and a sledge and bumped the winch back and forth, slowly moving it toward the radiator. Got tired of doing that after 30 minutes, so, a tree was enlisted. Parked the 818 nose against a tree with a board between the tree and the front of the winch. With someone watching, and the 818 pushing, the winch slowly slid right into place. Bingo! Put the bumper back on and called it a night.
5 hours today. A lot quicker than expected. PTO and drive shaft still need to be installed.
