steve s. Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I installed a Garwood winch, the same model as Swishy's, on my B61. My transmission is a Quadruplex and I used a PTO with forward and reverse to drive the winch. An extra gear was needed to reach in to the pto drive gear in the transmission. The pto drives two # 80 chains to the winch. It could have been a fairly easy job, but I got carried away and made the whole thing more complicated than it needed to be. One of the things I didn't like was that the pto shifter, if mounted straight up through the floor, would have been right where a passenger's leg would be. I spent quite a few evenings making linkages to move that pto shifter over next to the 5-speed stick. I have not yet run the truck; it is still a work in progress.

1wonton Posted December 5, 2022 Author Share Posted December 5, 2022 Yes, single stick. Where can I find power take off or hydraulic pump winch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be fine for a toy truck, but the Thermodyne will likely struggle with a 5-speed and a D8 Cat on a lowboy trailer. Won't be able to break the trans, but the engine is going to lug pretty bad with only 5 speeds to work with. Thermodynes like to keep the revs up. I routinely hauled D8K Cats with an R600 with a 250 Thermodyne and an 18-speed Quadruplex on a tri-axle Hyster lowboy. Most I hauled was about 111,000#. That's about all that 250 wanted in these hills around here. Oh, it got it done, but not in any hurry! 1 Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

Swishy Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 1wonton gudday m8 to winch on a D8 up ramps is a big ask U either pull the truck backwards or brake something U would need to run the winch cable thru snatchblocks etc best to have a nother machine to push the D8 up ramps = lot easier and quicker cya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat runs ok but too scary to try and back it up ramps, coming down ok, just get it on the edge and let 'er go......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
