The little crane on the back was something my dad had built long time ago and made up a mount for on his old classic. When I purchased the 10K Garwood I knew I was picking it up with the Mog and didn't want the hassle of trying to heft it up onto the bed. I took a couple days and made a heavy...

Thanks Vintage Iron! Hey 40 Grit, glad to give you a laugh! Oh, the winch thing at TTC...at the end of the tank trap we had the winch line draped back across the truck and sort of supported by the mirror stay and door handle as it went back the door and into the bed where a bunch of it was...

Took a piece of 1/2"x 3" flat stock and put two bends in it then punch holes in the two 'tabs' that were bent out to pin through to secure the winch in the front corner of the bed. The mog had some type of mounts bolted into the drop side bed side and I bolted the flat stock piece to that...

Three more pics...

Well...pretty much exiting the end of the tunnel on this project. Bumper is complete, winch is done, made a collar for stem of the jib to set the height and a short pulley'ed lanyard to set how far out the rope would be at the end of it. Only thing left to machine now are a set of pins for the...

You are very correct- not a failed test...a reaffirmation of the dangers of previous owners! :mrgreen: An ironic part of the deal was that I was just telling my neighbor a couple days earlier that I was going to get rid of some the pine trees in that field. HA! The deuces batteries were too...

Yeah...previous owners can sorta suck now and then. I have a 75' piece of 1/2" cable and the way it's supposed to be done is curling the cable back around, wrapping it around a thimble at the end...THEN THREE CABLE CLAMPS space evenly apart. Mine are about 4-6" apart and I've pulled like ****...

Oh, the deuces right front fender at the turn signal got folded down just a little but that will straighten up and so far...looks to be the only damage. [thumbzup] I know... :cookoo:

Thanks G! I'll keep it in mind! Quoting Gimp: "I always liked your "real world" tests, should be interesting." Well, the winch project did indeed get a good test last night. I hadn’t even ever tried the front hydraulic system on the truck but hoped it worked and had all the specs...

Update: About 90% done and have a few pics. Mounting plates are all machined welded and painted. Bumper had two 1-1/8" hole punched through it to secure the lower winch mounts. Lower winch mounts ended up being unmolested (finally a part I didn't have to remachine...) class one 3 pt hitch...

Hydraulics are very common on the 406/416 trucks. Because mine originally had a front dozer blade and rear backhoe, yeah...it has hydraulics...originally two separate systems. I pulled the rear system off but the front system has an engine driven hydraulic pump and tank up front under the...

I wouldn't be me if I didn't have a pair of winches on my truck so now that the big 20,000lb Garwood on the rear has been put in some hard use and proven itself it was time to head to the front and see what could be done there. The biggest hurdle with the Mog PTO's is that for all their bells...
