I'll take a look.  Thx.

If you can post a pic of the transmission, it will be real easy for someone on here to tell you what you got.   Terry

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.  Steve

TRL 107 is a triple counter shaft transmission, single stick would be a 5 spd.  Terry

[1wonton]

Yes, single stick.  Where can I find power take off or hydraulic pump winch?

[mrsmackpaul]

If I  get time I will take photos of the hydraulic winch setup on my truck tonight 

 

Might give you some ideas

Yeah!  That didn't come in that B61!  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!

gudday m8

we have 6 trucks with chain drive winches mounted BHind the cab

What R U going to use the wich for?

 

cya

ONCE IN AWHILE NEED TO PULL d8 CAT UP RAMPS TO LOWBED TRAILER.

[Swishy]

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

Thanks Swishy;  I would think a 30-40k winch would pull it up the ramps?  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.........
