I did it for mine (winch not wench ; ). I took the snow blower
mount, mig welded some 1/4" steel to it, extended it up. I use it
to lift the snow blower, mowing deck, getting the tractor unstuck
when doing something stupid, and pulling fence posts. As RJ notes,
make sure you have discrete + and - connections. Most ATV winches
should. The 2000Lbs winch I got from harbor freight has a +/- and a
new up/down switch. Works ducky for the most part. While the
manual says it has a holding load...it doesn't have much. The snow
blower will get lower and lower if I drive around with it. A better
model probably has a better "break". Be careful...you can rip the
deck apart lifting with so much power. You can see picture here: http://s955.photobucket.com/albums/ae33/behaines/Winch%20on%20Wheel%20Horse%20C185/ Personally if I was to do it again I would make the lift higher, and closer to the grill.
