Winch plate for gooseneck

admin

Here is a add-on I did for a customer awhile back. The plate is 1/2" fit between the two vertical I-beams. There is a piece of tube welded on backside of winch to prevent the plate flexion.Battery held in place with DeStaco latch for easy removal.The plate placement was customer specific as he is into restored tractors and hauls them to various shows. The winch is roughly 20" high from deck platform.Grant Attached Imageshttp://jackalopefab.com/MM210Synchrowave 200DXMiller XMT350 w/60series feederMiller Bobcat 250 with SGA 100 and spoolgunHTP PlasmaFull Machine shop with everything

Reply:Battery box was my first suggestion to him, however he was paying and said the battery would be removed when not in use: hence the easy-to-remove battery via toggle latch.Yeah, I would have definately bought a box after dropping that kind of coin on the winch!!http://jackalopefab.com/MM210Synchrowave 200DXMiller XMT350 w/60series feederMiller Bobcat 250 with SGA 100 and spoolgunHTP PlasmaFull Machine shop with everything
Reply:1/2 inch plate isn't going to flex with a rolling tractor, and with your brace, it isn't going to flex with a non rolling tractor  That Warn Winch is first class all the way, $900 plus dollars for sure.... but there doesn't appear to be anything 2nd class about the trailer either... nice work, winch and related stuff looks like trailer was made for it to be there.Qualified & experienced at welding scrap metal
Reply:Thanks for the kind words. I have done more projects over the last 10+yrs than I care to shake a stick at, but sadly only have a few pics of work as I usually so sick of the project, I just want to get paid and get it out!His trailer IS a nice trailer. I would love to have it myself. Too bad I cannot justify it to my wifehttp://jackalopefab.com/MM210Synchrowave 200DXMiller XMT350 w/60series feederMiller Bobcat 250 with SGA 100 and spoolgunHTP PlasmaFull Machine shop with everything
