looking for pics on customized winch lifted attatchments

[TravelinJavelin 620]

looking to putting in a winch on lifting my blower and plow attachment up and down looking for some pics on how it was done?

I have two pictures in the dozers

And blowers section. Sorry, can't

For the life of me figure out how

To move them here.

I made  front & rear winch mounts for my WH.  By pulling 1 pin, I pivot the winch mount forward, so I can raise the hood. The picture was taken, before I bolted an eye bolt at the top, for a pulley. Works great.

In the rear I use it to raise a tine dethatcher, I use to collect pine cones  and needles.

Here's my four wheeler with winch lifted Wheel Horse plow with automatic pin puller for blade angle.  One caution on using a winch....the in line springs are required ...as the winch overrun did    ,I mean will  break something.  I use old garage springs to make mine.

 

      

 

The plow is raised till the white tube hits the frame and rotates the cam, pulling the pin.

That is an ingenius setup! Well

Thought out. In "the old days"

Where the lift hook hit the upper

Sheaves we called that two blocking. The only prevention was

A good operator. You can imagine

The carnage if you were not paying

Attention! Usually an invitation

Back to the union hall followed.

Modern cranes are so advanced

They can almost run themselves.

  for the comment Mike.   Modern cranes are much safer, but still not IDIOT proof. In my 45 years in the hydro turbine industry, I've seen some nasty "accidents" and a lot of near misses.  We routinely lifted,turned, and transported 150 ton turbines. Some of the turning lifts got real intense with a one million dollar 150 ton Grand Coulee or Hoover  Dam turbine on the hook.

Harbor Freight has a 2500 lb remote control winch for $49.99  on sale till the end of Jan.  It looks like the one I have  on my 4 wheeler.   I think I'll buy another one and make a lift for the SS blower on the C-120.   I like the remote control....  Less wires..and the control is so small, I have mine fastened to the handle bar under where I can operate It with my thumb. Could very easily be fastened to the spoke of a WH steering wheel.

Have since, mounted a pulley on the winch mount post, and attach the winch hook, closer to the plow, for easier lift.

Winch removes with 2 pins to move to rear of tractor. Removing 1 pin, allows the mount to pivot, to allow the hood to open.

Has worked good for a few years now.

If doing again, I would make the plow mounting pin, larger than the 1/2" one I used.
