Older sytle Argo Winch mount

[rodp]

Can't see it not working so long as the guage was heavy enough. Only trouble with angle is it can flex in certain directions. How about 1" box section, that's easy to work with ?

I was able to mock something using some conduit I got it bend to where iI believe it should be , I know its not strong enough but its a start. Another thought I had would it be possible to use angel iron to make a mount supports.

This is starting to sound like something I could do with a little help I could figure out. Thanks for all the help I may attempt it

Well Verizon ate my pics 3 times spitting them into thin air, took some with real camera yesterday. Here you go.

[wildbill335]

If Verizon ever lets the pics come through I'll postem. Tube measures roughly wide 25in at base and 24 at top, first bend centered at 3 in, next 12 in cross bends at 19 inches.
Top plate was 4 wide , with bends centered at 8-1/2 and 3 with 5-1/2 at bottom following contour of body.

Also looked like a Frontier mount could be easily modified to fit.

i just put the angle iron body bands on my 99 conquest. I am also gong to put a small one up front and build a brush guard that bolts to all 3 a nd incorporate a winch in it. honestly I think you would rip the machine in half before you would pull those body bands off.

I've got a picture of one on the other comp., I'll try to get some more tomorrow with half@ss measurements so you can make one, from a tec. machine.
You'll need some 3/16 plate and some 1 inch thick wall tubing, there is a bend on the uprights to help with strength.

Thanks that would be great information and the pictures should also help a lot. Maybe I can figure this all out after all!!

leo's all season.....Used to sponsor the Argo ride at the Nelson Ledges in Ohio. May have an old mounting set up in stock. Good luck

This is an option I did not think of, Ill call around and see what I can come up with. I would prefer to find something used do to cash flow issue but anything will help. Thanks for the help

I think a may be possible if you can or have an angle iron body band and bolt to this on both sides. just an idea.

I thought about this but have some concerns. I am going to look into this option.

Well I guess my big problem is I don't have a winch mounted or have any clue on who to mount one

Can't help you with mounting it, I'm a bit far away Learn to weld maybe ? Not such a daft idea as it sounds as it's a useful thing to know.

The simple way to know if your winch mount is good enough is to think "could I pick the whole machine up and shake it about violently with this mounting". If you have any doubts then it ain't strong enough. Once you've seen a fully loaded winch cable snap or the complete winch tear off the front of the motor you'll never take a chance again.
