We used those winches back in the day when I worked in the oilfields moving rigs, pipe, etc. They are made to go either way so you could mount them on either side depending upon where the auxiliary transmission is mounted on the truck. Ours aux trans were usually on the driver's side.
Usually had 1" cable for those heavy loads of drill pipe. Really like the galvanized cable over the regular stuff. Used a special wind cable with more wires so it is more flexible for winching. Forget the number buy something like 7 by 39 comes to mind but could be wrong and maybe that is the regular and winch cable was 50 something. Can't use the same cable we used on cable tools, etc. as it is not flexible.
I remember there is a certain way to tie the knot for the chain so it lays just right. I tied one the wrong way and it stuck out like a sore thumb so cut it off and retied it.
As I recall, some trucks had the Braden winches and some had the Tulsa winches. I preferred the Tulsa.
Those D6 winch cats had heavier cable on them. Sometimes in the mud we would have 2 winch cats pulling in rig parts. Fun times.

The engine on this tractor, a 1937 John Deere "B", had been stuck for 2 years before he gave it to me. This last spring (1999) I hauled the tractor to our 2 acre lot in St. Libory Nebraska where it joined my antique machinery collection, at that time a 1929 Caterpillar T
