tonight i have done an experimentation.... i'm alwais fashinating on old PTO winch so i have done a prototipe and it works really great  this little box will have the connection on the transfer case i'm going to built and it have a shaft and a disconnect system that give me the possibility to use the winch whit - or without the wheel traction. i'm sure that a so powerfull winch can put on air the 90cm of truck i'm going to built. |
