i was just wondering a few things,
the first is i found that 6.5hp motor and i was wondering if it is possible to take the high pressure pump part off so its just motor

i was also wonderign if you could use that frame, the shaft is pointing the wrong way but do you think i can mount it the other way and fit everything in?
i just thought if i can make it work im not paying very much at all 230 for a frame and motor

It can definitely be done

the motor is probably more valuable than that frame. It could work, but the time and effort you put into making that frame work, you could probably build your own custom frame.

I think it would be cool to make a winch look like a generator or water pump. But if you decide to build your own frame, don't buy that engine because you can buy way cheaper motors that are the exact thing as that one.

The monkey wench that buzz sells in the UK looks like a generator.

LFArmada, i found a cheap motor so ill make a custom frame, the only problem is i dont have anyone who can weld and welding services must be a bit of cash
