Hand Operated Hoist Mounts On Back Of Deere Garden Tractor

I converted a boat winch into a hand operated hoist that mounts on back of my Deere 318 garden tractor. It consists of a steel pole with a pulley on top and a crank and cable spool just behind the driver's seat. The bottom of the pole bolts to a homemade steel plate that bolts onto a trailer hitch that was already on the tractor. I use the winch often to lift a trash-burning barrel into a trailer, then hook onto the trailer and dump the barrel in a dumpster. I made a similar winch to fit the back corner of my pickup.
