Really cool Pat. This is the first time I've seen one in action. I'm half-way through getting one running on my 44 MB so it was good to see one working. Didn't realize you could just slacken off the rope to stop the capstan gripping and great to see to see it's not really a 2 man job to use. Seems you're running the engine at quite a high idle though. Is that necessary ?
Thanks for posting! I am the training and product information for BRADEN (PACCAR) Winch. Fascinating stuff!
Are you still looking to sell it? Im very interested if you are. James

As you can see this winch works great. Any questions can be sent to opticial@aol.com.
