I want to install a 12000# hydro winch to my RR clasic and understand the steering pump in not powerfull enough to handle both. Since I do not use my air cionditioner, would it be possible to dis connect and put a seperate pump mounted in the compressors place to use for the winch? I plan to use the winch for skidding out logs. Any commits would be greatly appreciated. Thanks | ||

as long as you get the pulleys all lined up, that should not be a problem. you might need longer hydralic hoses as well (not a problem either). there is a replacement ps pump available from england that works great with the mm winch. | ||

I use a Ramsey hydraulic winch. The pump runs off of the crank via a dual belt and the pump has a clutch like an a/c comp. A switch on the dash engages the clutch. Then plumbed thru a directional valve etc. Works well and can work all day...as long as the engine is running! |
