Re: (ET) Lift motor

Given the toughness and cheapness of those 12v winches (see also Northern Tool), it's good choice.

Other people have written about using linear actuators, too, for this. (Lead screw driven by a dc motor all in a module.) Funny enough, there is an Electrak brand of linear actuator... I run across them on ebay from time to time.

Hi
A number of us have had success mounting a 12V  ATV winch on large frame ETs. Walter K has a simple extender which slips into the equipment mount, which I have copied and like very much, and can be used on either end of the tractor,  I've also  mounted on inside the ET after removing the charger the cut a small hole in the grill, simple sheetmetal cutting mounted a fairlead to stop the wire from sawing through the Al. . Then I just wire the winch to the UP/down toggle on the dash.
Peace Be With You
