Gearmatic 8a winch

Post by Solo33 » Sat Jun 11, 2022 2:41 pm

Will this winch fit on a 450c? I have the opportunity to buy one. It does not come with any controls either. Before I made the trip I was curious to see if it was even possible. Thanks

The 8A was used in the 420,430,440 eras. Of course, enough time, money and fabrication you can do about anything, but to be realistic I will say no, the 450s used the John Deere 3325 winch as factory equipment.
