Homemade skidding winch part 1

Beginning of a winch build that I won't put over $200 in or ten hours. Just a personal challenge.

[@jacuzzibusguy]

I love the fact that it is free and easily replicated by others. Just one note, It looks like only one side of the axle turns. If you were to weld your spider gears allowing both sides of the axle to spin you would reduce your rpm's by half, as well as double your torque. Absolutely amazing! I am going to build one of these.

[@AdirondackNY]

I love it and repair parts are cheep. also I would mount a rubber tire on that rim with bead sealer & spin it while using a grinder to cut the center tread out so the 2 side walls remain as guides for your strap

[@caramba160]

excellent idea, works very well, with a steel cable allows greater distance ... very economical and functional ... 100%

[@OldMotorcycleAdventures]

Glad I saved the axle out of the 65 Mustang I scrapped! I will have to see if I can find enough scrap metal to make this happen!

[@ProSeasons]

That's genius...Put a locker or spool in it and some small tractor tires on it and see if it can get you unstuck....Dual wheel style so you can keep the inside rims for winch work....

[@esoomreltna]

Excellent work! I like it. Nice use of various materials with a useful outcome. Great going! (forget about OSHA!! LOL)

[@radarlove007]

Ingenious! Country Boy can survive!

[@dascalb1]

Wow, I can't believe you cut up a Ford 9" rear end. That is worth lots of money to people building hot rods. The Ford 9" are put on lots of different brand of cars from the big 3. I do like your idea.

[@TheFoMoCo1903]

That's not a 9" rear end

[@Nyoest]

The plan is to use a brake on the end opposite of the winch "drum". It will allow me to attach a rope and be at a safe distance and vary the pulling speed from a crawl to a run.

[@obfuscated3090]

That has been done before and works well. Safe way to do it from the tractor would be using an emergency brake cable on that side which is easy to lock and release using old truck etc parts or fab an old style manual emergency brake.

[@conantdog]

omg that beautiful . I have thought about doing something similar for my Kubota. bravo

[@92jurassic]

That's pretty ingenious man. Props.

[@paulkersey7564]

simple ,but effective,well done.

[@pheenix42]

Who cares how it looks? If it does the job you ask it to do, then you've saved money!

[@jimsteele7108]

Runs fast

[@luckydubeinrc5165]

smaller drum =spindle reduce speed, /guard of some sort/ a thread spindle bolt\'able (for wood splitting) and we got a product :)

[@bosdad7]

LOL love the OSHA reference. now you should build a chunker for the other side. then you could chunk up the small stuff at the same time.

[@Ben333bacc]

Haha crazy, very cool. Let's see it pull!

[@jdsmith5060]

Thats gonna hurt! Best to build a guard against cable snap. Even nylon can cut your head off!

[@dylaninLG]

"OSHA would have an absolute hayday with me" hahahahahahaha

[@mikegroat7732]

That is pretty cool!!

[@ExploringCabinsandMines]

good idea!! weld some some sides on so you can spool more?

[@MsNevadakid]

ingenious pard. great job!

[@piglett2195]

looks like a good start

[@bamdogwood1]

Good luck have fun..

[@Stefananonymus]

I like this video

[@etg1951]

❤ Nice ❤

[@richardgarr7140]

does it try to make the other side spin and stop spinning on the winch side

[@smde1]

Just curious - ... Do you intend to put a cage around the operator in case of jump-back - if that web snaps under heavy load - could smart a bit - otherwise.

[@buildingadream9861]

Scary fast how's it pull trees?

[@cesarconh895]

I wouldn't work alone with this device

[@mimiporsche]

Compliments beautiful invention! Just find a program I do too! How many kilograms or pounds can pull?

[@kristibutterflykirk1]

need a lower gear ratio in the differential

[@marianomatias3439]

Exelente te felicito .gran idea.

[@Nyoest]

Yes, once I get some time to get back to it I will use the brakes to control the speed.

[@nealwhite1]

i would put on some kind of shear pin!!!!!

[@jephersoncardosoferreira8989]

vamos copiar a sua ideia, pantentear e vender....kkkkkk

[@Nyoest]

It's from an Explorer and it is def. not anything remotely like a 9" rear end, note the removable cover on the back.

[@BrokeWrench]

That would be an ford 8.8 then

[@jacuzzibusguy]

Genius!

[@mexicanomendoza2758]

cool video...

[@kenobi0417]

excelent...

[@richardgarr7140]

if this has limited slip how do you keep it winching in a hard pull

[@LostFart]

Is that a Ford 8.8 I see there! If So I swapped one with disc brakes into my Jeep ZJ. I got videos if anyone is interested.

[@deanm3962]

SO-ever gonna do a Part 2 or 3 on this???

[@jnbjnb5639]

works well, if you want to roll up an unloaded strap. if that is a posi rear then you might be able roll TWO unloaded straps. #poortestofyourefforts

[@russkysalamander5983]

awsome!!

[@toelesshoe]

The old Oliver sure runs smoothly. Have you perfected your winch yet?

[@dave4854]

just needs a larger wheel to hold more cable and go slower

[@aandrave]

Its an 8.8. btw ford 9's are "so rare and valuable" that I have scrapped three after having them for sale for months for $50.

[@Richardson501]

I'm hoping you're still on line after all these years. OR anyone who might have an answer. Could someone please tell me what the pull strength of the axel would be?

[@warrenp2022]

I don't have any detailed specs, but my Father built a similar unit with a machinist for a homemade woods tractor. The cut both axles to maybe 6 inches, hooked up an emergency brake to the drum end, used a small 3 speed transmission between the pto and winch to control speed, the pulley and brake drum were locked together somehow. The tractor was an early 70's Ford F-600 cut short with the rear axle welded to the frame. The transmission and winch was mounted on the truck frame over the rear axle. The winch cable went up a pole and through a pulley so he could pull in a 16 foot log or a bundle of 4 foot long cord wood and place it on his truck. The winch would easily handle several hundred pounds. He passed 10 years ago and the tractor is long gone but it worked well with little investment.

[@Rudi-Weserwolff]

Good idea - but I think it runs to fast...

[@kadann1]

lol hell i like this

[@jeffreylally4722]

Don't forget to use the parking brake.

[@ferreiraaveiro3908]

22 cents... that neighbour coudnt just give it to you?

[@92jurassic]

Explorers have a 8.8.... Fun fact. :)

[@iamimad123456]

if this drive shaft is an open deferential we can pull nothing all the power will go to the end that is not pulling

[@TheBradMorgan]

Simply lock the other side down, so it doesn't pull.

[@MrMEmEmEmEMEMEeeeeee]

STILL waiting on Parts 2 and 3....

[@Rudi-Weserwolff]

Do you want to use the brakes inside of of it?

[@zheus1987]

maybe use another differential!

[@westernclimber]

Don't worrie there's lots of ohsa guys on KZbin preaching safety

[@GRADE8BOLT]

Oh geezus

[@Nyoest]

Well lets see your idea.

[@sd-hm2yp]

ohsa only applies when your at work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dave4854]

screw OSHA, they were hired back when America had money, now they're expendable

[@Angus_McGyver]

Oliver 880?

[@zheus1987]

its too fast!!! you might damage something!!

[@sawdustjohnpa]

anything that pisses off osha has to be good. haha

[@patrickevans7143]

his idea is to live with his mommy till he is in his 40's

[@Nyoest]

@kenfo0 Let's see what you build in six hours with scrap.

[@cptnadvntr]

i hope u r still alive to read this post

[@Jimo225]

thats not going to work. The rope isn't going to stay on the wh eel.

[@Nyoest]

It's an Oliver 770 model tractor.

[@montwolfman]

Way too fast...almost useless. Sorry.

[@MrThenry1988]

Awful fast. I'm sure your aware of this and gave up.

[@sabastians8087]

This not working

[@fourfortyroadrunner6701]

Useless and completely wrong. You are increasing speed at the drum from the PTO, You need to tear this apart and start over. Tear into the axle and "weld a lock" (weld up the spider gears) so the axles are locked together. While you are at it, hack off one axle, and throw it away, weld a cover over the exposed cut. NOW drive the remaining axle with the PTO, which will now give you a REDUCTION at the original drive shaft (pinion). Mount your drum on the pinion.

[@matthewsmith988]

If you have a 4.11 gear ratio, isn't driving it by the pinion side giving the axle a 4.1 to 1 ratio? 4.1 rotations to the drive shaft to 1 rotation of the axle. If you drove the rear end with the axle, you would spin the pinion 4 times faster than the drive, which is normally 540. This would give you around 2160. The way its hooked up is the reduction. Am I not understanding this correctly?

[@johntwerp]

Matthew Smith you are correct. There is a lot of people commenting on here that have no idea what they are talking about.

[@johnniealderman3658]

This video gave me the inspiration to build a great winch, F-150 dif with 2 reduction chain drives #60 on first one and #80 on last one. Free-wheel guess I need to post a picture!

[@bradygross9825]
