I highly recommend scouring Craigslist and offerup use the search "winch" or "capstan" set price max at $400 or so
Hook up some elevator fools and they will hook you up with squeaky blocks, fuzzy rope and plenty of scrap steel when they're done with a job. The stuff is supposed to be thrown away after every big high-rise.
If you find a repair crew they will give you miles of nasty fiber core plow steel wire rope.

Here is the beast! I got it with the plates and foot switch for $250 I bought the 15" deck cleat for $25 for dogging the load and the 2" receiver insert for $70 Total game changer tool = priceless.

More biners!!!
You have gotten some attention now! When you can show us HOW you use that. There's angles and dangles there that I can't yet parse out.

1000lbs of awkwardness, big metal platform, little hole.

check out the quick mount cat head on the tractor hub. This is how the local utility company pulls their service lines into the vault and on to the main panel and disconnect.

I was thinking of mounting a winch in place of the hoe bucket and running it off the bucket cylinder hydraulics but that looks like a better option for a one man operation. Thanks for the post.

Chit, I’d still have to have someone in the hoe to hold the diff lock, maybe not. Just keep one wheel on the ground.

Well that's exactly what they did, kept 1 tire planted. There once was an aftermarket wheel hub mounted drum for willys jeeps and vertical axis pto shaft driven capstans too.

If I remember right the willy had a pto front and back, farm model I guess. The ol Power Wagon still makes my blood rush to my nether regions...

Great to look at, I'll agree completely...but hell on earth to drive any distance at all, never mind getting much over 50 mph or 9 mpg.

I think it would drive thru hell just fine.

That it would, my friend. I'd not turn my nose up at one, should it come my way .

this is my nothing over 55mph antique 4x4 it has the t18 transfer case with twin stick, front rear pto with stick and overdrive rear output with stick that's 5 levers in total sticking out of the floor when you include the manual gear box lever.

Good thing is that very few thieves can manage so many levers.

Ty, I drove one just about like that in high school...didn't have the PTOs.
A friend of mine had a 62. It didn't have the PTOs either. Someone crammed a V8 in it, and dicked it up, but it was still a cool truck. If someone were to offer me any vehicle of my choice, a Willys wagon would be in my top 5 easy.
