Ramsey makes a good winch and today we fabricate a simple receiver mount to make an old RE-8000 much more versatile. Any truck with a 2'' receiver can now use this as an accessory. A set of welding cables have yet to be made into a power cord, but once that's completed it will be ready to provide winching capability around the place and even remotely on other sites.
I must stress that retrieval work of vehicles or machinery can be somewhat treacherous and even a bit dangerous when working with stressed cables, winches and inferior welds..so don't attempt to do it with a home made rig such as this. This is only for my own personal off road use in and around the woods and shop. That, my friends, is my official disclaimer. Enter at your own risk, the floor is slippery when wet, don't use an electric drill in the swimming pool and whatever you do, do not build this with a 110v Harbor Freight MIG and go into the auto recovery business.... That exercise may result in your death or worse, that of someone else !! Now for myself, this is going to be just fine, because I intend on keeping a close eye on the stress points and if it begins to go south, I will stop and beef it up to a much safer level. #ramsey, #hypertherm, #welder
