Hydraulic-Operated Winch Mounts On Front Of Honda ATV
 ✖  |
I built a hydraulic-operated winch that mounts on front of my Honda ATV. The boom is made from 2-in. sq. tubing and mounts inside a receiver hitch that I welded onto the front part of the ATV. Power is provided by an electric solenoid that mounts inside a toolbox on back of the ATV. A handheld, remote-control unit is used to operate the winch. The remote control unit plugs into a plug-in at the back of the ATV.
I came up with the idea while doing work for the state water resources department. I was doing conduit inspections and had to lower an 80-lb. video camera by hand down into manholes. The hydraulic-operated winch makes the job a lot easier. (Cecil Bearden, 4414 Ash St. N.E., Piedmont, Okla. 73078 ph 405 373-1929 or 405 641-8547; email: cbear81438@aol.com)
