Recommended Posts

Needed something to tinker on the other day and was looking at the scrap steel i had and of course my mind got to thinking. Got the winch of ebay for 11.00 dollars.

The best part is i moved limestone today and it digs good. I need to develope a different bucket trip as when the bucket is full it is to hard pulling the cable to trip the pin.

i think there was a thread a while back that that showed how they were hooked up. The outer ones are an inch smaller :WRS: :hide:

It is difficult to see in the pics but they are attached. Just spacers and threaded rod or allthread depending where you live. Here is a link about the duals where you can see whats going on a little better.

I like the bucket idea. Even has the pull pin to dump the load. (I even see the cup holder on the fender as well!!) :hide:

Not sure how much it will lift. i have had the bucket full of limestone. It made the back alittle lighter so i put 30 lbs. of lead on rear hitch. I think I'm going to add another 20 to the rear.

I was spearing gar yesterday evening and it work good for holding the fish.

I have another project in mind but sure when i will start it. :hide:
