Does anyone out there have experience with running both a front (stock) AND a rear PTO winch off of the same PTO? I would like to retain the rear Gin poles on my truck, but want to put the original winch back out front where it belongs. I know I could just hook the power shafts up to both PTO outputs, and just shift the winch I wasn't using into freewheel/neutral, but I would really like to be able to do this from inside. The Bed Trucks we work on up here have a type of air-shifted in/out clutch off of the auxillary power devider that does this.How did the original Rear Belt Pullies on the PW work? Did they run this type of system? Anyone know of a similar "manual" unit suitable for the PW? Any good Ideas /parts sources for building one of my own if a "store bought" unit can't be found? Thanks For the help J.V.L. p.s. "One FOOL can ask more questions then a Thousand Wise men Can Answer, EH?"
