I just acquired a I think 1988 350D crawler with a JD winch and I believe it to be PTO powered. The control cable goes from the control handle around and into the area between the winch and the crawler body just under the fuel tank. The is extremely hard to move, I was told that they were able to activate the winch but probably with another crawler pulling the cable out and were able to then activate the winch and pull the cable in?? I'm not sure where to start, pull the fuel tank and look at the end that goes into the winch (i think that is what happens) pull the winch and go through the control or what. The winch had significant work done on it in the last 3 years. I have the last 10 years of maintainence records on the crawler, former county piece of equipment and they gave me a copy. The crawler has about 3200 hours on it as shown by the hour meter which is working and agrees with the county records. Just not sure where to start. Everything else in super shape, anybody have any ideas?
