    Identify my winch! Is it big enough?

    I didn't. Too rich for my blood. I bailed out at $616 (about $300 more than I wanted to spend. Some went cheaper than that. It was just hard to watch all 32 of 'em. Eh, no biggie. I'll make this one work. I just won a brand new double output PTO on ebay. Alternator is at the shop, should be...

    Identify my winch! Is it big enough?

    Identify my winch! Is it big enough?

    Under all the coats of paint it is OD green. What did it originally come on and will it work on my Deuce? It's a Braden Winch. Use the oil container as a size refrence. Any idea the pound capacity? It looks very different from the Deuce winches I've seen...like it's an older model maybe. Is it...
