new winch - Land Rovers Only

CliftonRover · 02-18-2008, 03:28 PM

I just bought a mile marker hydraulic 10,500 lb. winch for my range rover classic. I am going to install a pump for a snow plow where the AC compressor normally goes. Then I will use standard plow left/right vales to control powering in and powering out. I checked with mile marker said this was ok. the pump will work receiving pressure from both directions. Does any one else have one or advice about installation. I am not using the MM electric solenoids to make the system simpler. I was at winter romp last weekend and decided I needed a winch if I was going to start attending rallies more often.

Do you have a way to shut the pump off when not needed? Can you setup a way to maybe remove the belt, or have a clutch setup like the A/C?

yes there is a pin i pull out of the pulley that lets the pulley free spool.

Nice. Can't wait to see photos of the install. Not too many people running hydraulic's on Rovers these days. Will be interesting to see how it's held up in a year or two. Keep us posted.
