    What kind of winch is this? Is part of it missing? Is it worth anything? Any info would be appreciated. I'm thinking of bidding on this.:oops:
    Thanks,
    Andy

    You got me curious! The drive appears to be on the wrong side for a normal PTO winch, I wonder if that is one that is driven somehow off of the front pulley?

    That's a diesel winch. The engine is missing but the exhaust stacks are there. ;)

    I'm gonna say it's a hand winch, not a PTO. The bracket on the left side appears to be for a crank which would drive a chain, turning the sprocket thus turning the drum. I'll bet the "stacks" were for a hoist for lifting something. :hurrican:

    I just have no idea! I thought it might be something rare and I guess it is but rare isn't always good:)

    Mounted down-side up, maybe? Can't remember looking at a Ramsey Rhino from the ground up, but, sorta looks familiar otherwise.

    Wouldn't judge too much by what ever they stuck on the end of the input shaft........

    I don't know, to me the whole thing looks a little too light duty for a PTO winch. The whole Jeep is rough but has to be worth the opening bid at least!

    Personally I'd pay maybe $300 max, as parts for future reference.

    My vote is on hand crank as well. I'll have to dig through my pics but I have seen one on a -2A before. I believe that bracket off to the left is where the crank would go, with a chain down to the sprocket you see there. I *think*.

    I think it was a very early electric as there is a mounting pad on top of the worm drive that would fit an electric motor. The motor would have sit there with a chain drive reduction going to the worm drive.
