If you wanted to try it out sooner, you could always take the tractor out and get it stuck in the snow. Granted, snow's not as sticky as mud, but it's still give you an opportunity to test the new winch.

The separat tractor is one of the coolest tractors i ever seen

take it on the trails in the spring when it warms up,the snow melts and mud gets deep get it stuck so you can use it actually use it. my winch is a 2500 pound traveler winch.

Fearless, I installed one of these on a buddy's ATV, all I did was wrap the hell out of that circuit breaker block with electrical tape. Simple and easy to replace if it blows, and also helps protect the terminals from corrosion. The only complaint he has about it is the duty cycle, but it works great. I've actually been going to harbor freight a little bit more often, they're cheap tools but they have some good warranties and the quality is better.

Sweet! Them sears are very Heavy and getting one out being so sank might be a problem. I just finished a mechanical winch that runs off the engine and uses a gearbox and sprockets/jack shaft. I love it!

if your winch don't work here is a tip when you the cover of the winch ,(if you had the winch outside in the rain or whatever it might be rusty) put some wd-40 rust speaclist on the brush and the coil for overnight and dry it over night again, then you put some gasket sealer on the cap of the winch to be waterproof and the winch will work again(unless you burn the brush up) it work great for my 2500 and 3500 pound winches.try this if the winch fail 90% sure it should work :)

Consider getting an oscillating multi tool. I have a Makita one which has performed flawlessly. Never thought I'd use it much. But actually I use it ALL THE FRICKEN TIME. Such a time saver particularly when cutting through plastic.

Like the install, very clean and you wasn't kidding on how tight it fits. Also liked the clear tubing on the power wire, I got to remember that one. Here's an idea for your dash wiring, solinoids and switches. The clear tubing made me think of it. I had to run new wiring for my jeep so when I got to the fuse box I made a pexiglass fuse box which was 1/4 thick clear pexiglass. Very easy to use and design with this stuff.

dude there is no room for hope on you doing a good job on intaling this thing you always do a flawless job on any thing you make or build and the things that are a plug an go like this winch you always seem to make it just a little better then it was intended great build man

When things look like they came factory installed that way you know you did a -h- of a good job!

Nice! Very professional looking after it was installed. That winch will come in handy for getting unstuck and pulling trees off the trails too. Thanks for Sharing!

Nice job of mounting the winch sweet little beast you have built.

Nice, good install. I heard also that those winches are pretty good for the price.

I've bought quite a few things from Harbor Freight. Been pretty happy with them.

Fearless I just done a pully swap on a wizard took the 8hp off put a 14hp twin on went with a 6 inch on front and back and put some 23x9.50 13s on the back and 18x8.50 8s on the front swapen the trans out and pou a 6 speed spicer

Badland is very good i have 2000 on my atv i used it for my friends 600 pound atv throught a rockcrawling section and i use it to lift a plow

So the winch is completely water prof and that is awesome great instalment

Nice job for sure. My thoughts for improvement would be to add a drain tube for oil changes. Put remote plug in front of unit. This way its closer to where you need it. And a tow hook in the front for snach blocking. Other then that id say looks sweet.

With that winch u should be able to pick up the whole mower off the ground. I picked up my jeep and hung it in the air with a 1200lb badlands

AWESOME install !! Folk give HF winches a bad time but I have one I have ABUSED .. and it still work just perfect .. ! Good vid thanks ..

nice install fearless,waiting to see a vid of that heavy beast being winched out of a mud hole

Makes it look tougher that things a beast

Looks good! Your winch sounds quiet compares to the badlands 2000 we installed. You also have a mounting plate and remote, ours did not come with them.

hey fear they make a rubber tape by 3m. U could use that on ur wireing block works real good.nice job on the winch btw. cant wait to see it in action :)

Fearless I have no clue why but I watch this video anytime I have time. And it's summer so I have a lot of it. And I love your videos. And I think I watch this so much is because I am going to be getting a 2500 badland winch. And I just get tips and tricks on how to mount it. So thanks

big winch with a big riding mower....cool video bro

cool brush-guard and winch

Been waiting for this one. That mower is turning up swell.

awesome vide dude!! just bought a 2000 lb winch tonight for my Alabama crafstman lt2000.. keep tha ass kickn vids coming!!!

I plan on making exact same thing kind of Lamar and plan on maybe eventually one day again against with you guys and not having a little fun round around

hay fearless.great video what about engine oil drain plug access with winch installed

I'm thinking about putting a winch on my Ford mud mower once it's up and running.

Love my 2500 # badland winch mounted it to my 300ex going to get one for my mud mower. Love your vids.

Great job fearless, looks like a factory install

Hey fearless. I have the same winch but its only a 2000 lb winch and only paid $50 on sale so thats awsome but, thats for my next mudding tractor build similar to your sears its a 1965 102 cub cadet that was my pulling tractor. Hopefully i'll get some updates on it but cant wait to see that winch work!

you need to put some led headlights on that like the ones put on the Murray.

keep up the good work. I have an old Sears I want to build up now.

Good job on winch vid - my winch came with a wireless remote. Which is nice, but the remote is not water friendly.

WE DID stick that things in the mud.... with BANNER...... and we both got seriously stuck

great job you're un-stoppable now

very nice indeed :) great buy for the price I might make a mechanical winch for mine though something like the mud king but has a few differinces

Got a harbor freight winch for my 71 case,it's 2500, but haven't got it on yet lol

I love your videos and you have inspired me to build a mower, I'm going to pick up two engines tomorrow

Hey just wanted to say thanks for this video. I just picked up one on those winches for my UTV. I did an unboxing video of it and linked to this video. Hope you don't mind.

Alright idk if u know anything about Yamaha rhinos but we got a winch for it and even when the key is turned off the winch is still able to be used would u know how to fix that

Maybe you should zip tie it to the pulley splash guard... that'll keep it from chafing, and avoid it wandering into the belt...

Really nice job, very professional install. And the bumper looks so badass!

Nice job showing this install, thanks

Nice work Fearless, love the new addition to the tractor!

you made me think about getting a winch for my truck! Im gonna end up spending all my parts money on a witch lol

You'll be upgrading that battery next! Good stuff!

Another very well made and edited video. Thanks Fearless....

Hey fearless you should get some PLASTIE DIP. It comes in a spray or you can get a can and dip stuff. It makes a rubber coating and is good for water proofing electronics.

Now you can go in that stream you took the murry into!

colton weston I don't have any, you would have to talk to him directly.

Hey fearlessfront I love the videos you post and I am in the process of getting a mud mower. Once I get it I will be posting videos. But mainly I was asking if you could send me some fearless stickers.

Great job, looks awesome!! Definitely a must have for an off road mower!!

Paint the plastic tube black so it looks like it blends in to the rest of every thing

hey fearless why don't you spray paint the plastic tubing to hide the big yellow wire

Oil pressure guage added? what's that coiled line coming from the engine doing? cool build, watching the whole series, rock on man.

Hey fearlessfront. I just got the other day what looked like a good tractor. It has atv tires on the back and bald tires on the front. The thing is it was junk when I got it home. I fixed the body problems, now im into the hard work pulleys, belt tension and what not. But before I go any farther I want to see if the motor will go, guy just rebuilt the motor. I need to know how to hook up the throttle, choke, and gov all together i think i might be missed springs or something. This tractor been missing alot of parts. Hope you got an old mower you can do a video on.

Have you ever thought about flipping the front axle and putting the same size tires in the front that are on the back?

you did a great job looks awesome

You should put headlights on it now

great job can't wait till MUD SEASON!

GREAT JOB AS ALWAYS FEARLESS. YA MY #1 " MOW WHEELER" HERO YOU MAKE IT ALL LOOK SO EASY FOR SOME ONE LIKE ME WHOM DOESN'T HAVE A WELDER OR KNOW HOW TO WELD OR KNOW ANY ONE WHOM DOES LOL POOR ME

I'm putting a winch on my 76 sear ss 16 thats bad ass looking

1:05 Put in an small box then melt wax all around it, should be a peach, or you could use resin if it gets fairly hot but then you can't replace them if you ever needed to. Wax should be plenty beings you won't be using the winch very often, at least you can hope you won't.

Love harbor freight for some things. Lol.

That thing is a monster

I wanna go to the Fearlessfront school of video production....I think i have the know how, just not the patience..Top knotch instal bro!

That looks awesome, fearless! good job man.

Does your rear engine mounting holes on your diesel hang over the back of your frame if so can you make a video of how you mounted your engine. Thanks this would really help me!

Very nice job !

*Nice Work!! A Little Overkill, But I like that!!*

Great video mate, just found your channel and will be watching it from now on! a stainless steel exhaust would look great on that tractor!

GREAT install!

Very cool machine I bet she's could rattle some fillings loose.

Badass so that winch is rated for 3500lbs that it shouldn't have a problem with all the mud

do you need to have an egnition on your tractor for the winch to work.

for that whole metal mayhem use Plastidip NOT THE SPRAY they have a tube which you can Dip and coat the connection in rubber the man Medic over in RCSparks has a video of him using it to "water proof" his RC truck

Could you post a video on how you installed the Diesel engine and how you made ur throttle cable set up I'm going to buy one and I wanted to set it up like yours thank you.

awesome install man...

Awesome job!

Todd. Out of curiosity, what do you do for a living? No need to be specific. Love your videos!

I like the New install great job!

Good job on the install very professional, Now Neil Greenleaf Will want you to hook it to a tree limb and pull up off the ground hanging by the winch like he did in his video.....lol

Have you done any vids on dual exhaust? I'd like to see something like that Thanks for sharing

You should put headlight on it them blue one that would look cool

good job when i put my wench on my three wheeler i just had to hang it in a tree to see if it would pull it up the tree lol , It did

Great job.

super clean

Clean... Nice job!

Awsome just got one myself

Good job man the yellow wire showing is a bit of a shame tho

+FearlessFront (Todd Christopher) why did yo raise the grill for the winch or motor i have a different type of sears and going to buy a disel

Built this thing into a beast! ps. I like the new bumper supports

Looks like your bumper should really protect it

Looks awesome!
