I know there were a few threads that talked about recasting the PTO mounting shims, but those efforts seem to have gone dormant.

Does anyone have one of the large shims for sale so that I can mount my fully refurbished PTO winch?

thanks in advance.

Im assuming ur talking about the shims for mounting the winch it self. They have popped up from time to time while i was doing my build, but its been a few years sine I’ve been very active here. If i recall somewhere in this forum, u can find the dimensions of the shims. I ended up just making a set. It was a little time consuming, but not difficult. I welded up some flat stock, and ground it down to size. It looks and works fine.

You might check with @kevos37. He made several sets up a few years ago. Might be willing to make another batch?

I'm not planning on making any wedges.

Noticed Home Depot has similar wedges in the metal conduit wall hanger section. If I didn't have a set that's what I would have used. Might be worth a look.

Was similar to below but casted

I did a set of 6061 units a while back and can do another if their is interest. They were $50 a set and I have been using them without issue for years

How many shims are required and why do 2 of them have a large hole and 2 a small hole? I can send you the dimensions of these if it helps you. Not sure what some of the other bits and bobs are for.

Those are not factory shims! Factory shims are cast and are degreed, to make up for the frame angle.

I can help with these if someone has an original to send me or has accurate dimensions
