Farmall Tractor Fitted With Home-Built Pto Winch
Retired farmer Niles Schulz built a heavy-duty winch that he uses on back of his 54-year-old Massey Harris 165 tractor. It can pull 2 big logs at a time with no problem, he says.
He built the winch using scrap steel and old farm equipment parts. A sprocket mounted on the tractor’s pto shaft using no. 50 roller chain drives a gear attached to the cable drum.
“The tractor pto provides the winch with amazing power, even when the tractor is idling,” says Schulz. “Cable wrapped on the drum runs up through a pulley. I mounted 2 hooks on the cable so that if I want I can pull 2 logs at a time.”
Schulz replaced the tractor’s original drawbar with a shorter drawbar made from heavy channel iron. The spool assembly is welded to the drawbar.
