Does anyone know if a sit on top John Deere Lawn mower engine would work for a winch? the lawn mower is sitting in my garrage and is free. so I was hoping to use it for a noble cause. _________________ I hate waves they skrew everything up!!! |

I'm pretty sure a vertical spool would work I don't see why it wouldn't _________________ Go Balls Deep Or Go Home |

it wouldnt work in a traditional setup, I guess you could use a cog on the jackshaft and gear drive the Tav, or a horizontal spool |

i think we might use and angled shaft, and then put the spool to the right or left of the engine. Then the spool could be verticle. _________________ I hate waves they skrew everything up!!! |

I dont remeber where a read about it but I think the guy that made the rewind winch made it. I could be wrong. But he said it did not work great _________________

I was also wondering if anyone has ever seen a horizontal spool. I might be missing something but I dont understand why you should have your spool verticle. _________________ I hate waves they skrew everything up!!! |
