I'm sitting at the computer tonight (this morning) waiting for the wash machine to finish its cycle so I can flip my work clothes in the dryer and go to bed. While I enjoy fabrication very much, I have never done any serious projects.
Question: Could a winch (if that's what you'd call it) from a barn cleaner be converted to a winch to be used on a flatbed tandem trailer? I figure I'd power it with a Briggs engine. If so, what all modifications would be necessary to set this thing up?
I have a trailer, but currently only have a come-a-long for a winch. My brother's got an old Patz winch which was from a small cleaner. It's not terribly heavy duty and seems it could make a nice trailer winch.
I appreciate your responses.
