Been a welder fabricator for 30 years now and you got enough on it to hold it on through a couple of these little winches. If you're welding machine don't get exactly hot enough make a couple of passes on it and it should hold no more pressure than you got with it . Best of luck and keep on welding.👍

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Tim everybody's opinion and ideas creates new ones in other peoples heads.

Good video!

I have trailer ball hitch on the winch and a ball on to trailer floor. When not in use just takes a second to pop off.

First video I've seen that shows removing the snap ring to get the clasp through the rollers!!! Thanks!!

Tim, I have the same winch on my four wheeler and it has never let me down. But my controls are hard wired so I have to be on the wheeler. You may end up with straps under floor boards to spread your load out. Good job.

I’d think about putting a plate underneath the boards, and bolting the winch through it with some grade 8 fasteners. I’d like to try my hand at welding.

The easy way I did my atv winch I welded the ATV winch plate onto a upside down trailer hitch and it works awesome try that setup out

If you’re using a suitcase style welder with material that thick it really helps to pre heat the metal. You’d be surprised what it can do. I’d say like 300 degrees would be just fine

good job

Been thinking about a setup like this curious does it have stand alone power ? I kinda wanted mine to run when I plug my 7 pin up

How did you wire it up?

Grind the bad welds & reweld, there’s no penetration on backside weld, all surface! Shalom!

thumbs down because you didnt show how to connect the power.

Just don't let anyone stand behind the thing being winched up on the trailer. HF tools are fine as long as their failure won't injure or kill someone.

What did you wire it to?

Nice job. I just copied. Have a good one

Why did you not buy the $5.00 mount made for that winch, sold by Harbor Freight. Lord, you made a hard job out of that mounting. My 12,000 gross Hudson trailer, mounted the winch drilling three 3/8” holes to mount the Harbor Freight Mounting Plate. Took me twenty minutes to mount the winch. You should have bought shorter bolt to secure the winch to your homemade mount.

Metal string? Ummm ok

Ya should have bought the harbor freight $5. mounting plate.....way less work...

So noisy winch 🙄

quit repeating yourself

Bought one yesterday and returned it today, what a piece of SHIT! had it out of the box for 5 min and put it right back in the box. Couldn't even mount it because of the threaded inserts on the winch. Glad I didnt install or trust this on a 10k honda.
