[QUOTE="ejt, post: 86125, member: 5985"] So I did buy the winch. It's a little dirty and greasy but it should clean up nicely. The clutch seemed to work OK, and the cable is a little beat up, but I might wind up replacing it with something longer anyway. It came from a rolloff truck so I imagine it had a lot of short intense usage throughout its life. If I mount it to a quick attach plate with its current mounting setup the cable will be making a 90 against the fairlead rollers which is not good, so I'll have to fabricate some sort of angle iron mount so it will sit flat perpendicular to the plate. And I'll have to make a protective screen for the top of the quick attach. Hope to get that all done this summer. [/QUOTE]
