After pulling a dozen or so out of the woods to the road, the winch stopped working and we soon realized what had occurred. A trip to Southern States for a PTO Shear pin was our original idea but never got passsed the frequented NAPA store. In farming country, bush hogs and farm equipment are in need of replacement pins often. Try stopping by Tractor Supply or Southern States the next time you see one and see the parts manager. I looked at SaturnSurplus.com and had a bit of trouble trying to find the pins. Turns out that there is no stock number listed (last time I looked).

Sorry no pictures at this point on the "winch over". But man am I jacked to finally have on one on my duece!
