PatS.... Posted March 13, 2008 Report Posted March 13, 2008 I'm looking at a 1947 Fargo 2 ton flatbed farm truck. Wasn't looking really but the condition and price are good and I have a place to store it until the Chrysler is done...ya right...anyway, I would like to figure out what kind of winch this is and how it works. Can't quite figure out what the large torque converter type thing is to the right of the drum and where the winch gets it's power. Would it be electrical or geared or even hydraulic? If anyone has any idea I would appreciate it. It's 300 miles away and I won't see it until I go get it in a month. Thanks Quote
Vintrader Posted March 16, 2008 Report Posted March 16, 2008 Well I am no expert, but my guess it is a PTO (power take off) Drive. Should be a transfer case off the drive shaft and a operation leaver in the cab. put er in neutral, engage the PTO, winch away.......Dutch GREAT TRUCK BY THE WAY...................... Quote
