Dissappointment with wench

Can you determine the make and model of the hydraulic motor? I would like to know the torque and rpms of that motor.

jj,

i'LL CHECK AND LET YOU KNOW . i HAVE DONE AS YOU SAID AND MY CONCERN IS THAT IS IS RATED AS A 2 TON WENCH/WINCH ( WHATEVER) AND THE STRESS THAT IT PUTS WHEN TIED. i'M SURE THE HYDRAULICS WOULD FAIL BEFORE THAT HAPPENDED HOWEVER, i DON'T WANT TO BE THE FIRST TO RIP MY PT APART.

( He spelled it right. "Wench" is nothing more than and English "Winch" .

It's a language thing... /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif )

Really? I bet our English neighbors will have something to say about that. I am reasonably sure that their territory is where the real "wench" originated. Nice of you to come to his defense, but there were about half a dozen other spelling mistakes, too. I don't promote calling every grammar and spelling error to task, but this one was funny.

PT used to sell a 5 ton winch for the 418/422/425. I was about to buy one and they talked me out of it. I got the impression that someone had actually pulled a PT in two, although they did not directly admit it. At that time they were redesigning the winch, and I think you now have one of those. Talk to Keith and ask about tying the back of the PT to a tree. This is probably OK.
