Winch multi mount for 8274

Had to make a new multi mount for the 8274 Warn I got in a trade. The $o* wanted to sell me the multi mount he has for it for $100. I said no way. I got the winch plate with it for free, so now he has a worthless multi mount.
I cut the ends off the winch plate and welded it to a reciever tube, pretty simple little fab project made that much harder by the 100* heat.
Here's some pics for ya'll





I'm gettin good at this welding nonsense



Had to notch out the plate from a strengthening rib, so I welded into there as well for extra strength.


It may need moar triangulation but for now I think it's strong enough

 

Looks good! What's the whole thing weigh?

 

I'm afraid to weigh it probably in the 115-120 neighborhood

 

Naw, I did find out there's a fray in the winch rope though when one of the wires went through my finger

 

133 lbs, wooo!

 

yeah mine is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay heavy. I see you put a buddy handle on it!

 

Buddy? That's all for me baby! This things heavy but I can man handle it to the receiver

 

I do to. It is getting more painful as I age, though. I think I am double your ageR)R)

 

17x2=34??

 

doh!

 

Yep Looked like a J hook. went through my finger and out on the same side, curved through then just stayed in place since it was a hook... had to pull it off mehh

 

I should drive around town with it on the rear R)
