Hi all, I have a 74 W200 with a 360 engine, 435 trans and a 205 transfer case. I have a 8000# Ramsey PTO winch on the front bumper. This is my first encounter with a PTO winch So bear with me, these may be some dumb questions.
My PTO is mounted on the transfer case. On the instruction sticker in the cab tells me to have the transfer case in neutral to use the winch. Would I break anything if I used the winch with the tcase in gear?

I have four PTO speeds (plus reverse) depending on which gear the transmission is in. Do I up the capacity of the winch if I use a lower gear? Or is 8000# my limit no mater how fast it works?

Will this PTO mount to my transmission also or is strictly for a transfercase?

Thanks in advance. I know this isn't FFPW but hey, at least it is a Dodge. Thanks again.
