I was wondering if it is possible to add a Carco C-3 winch to my OC-3 with Ware 3-HI loader? This particular tractor has the weight box on the back of it. Will I have problems with the two hitting?
Thanks,
Geoffrey

Well I wouldn't think you'd need the weight box with the winch.
My gramps Howard van Driest was Experimental Engineer at Cletrac and Oliver Corporation. After the plant closed, he and my uncle started an excavating business, initially using Cletrac and Oliver Crawler tractors.

Blake,
Unless I looked at it wrong, the weight box is an integral part of the loader frame.

Yea, don't take my word for it. Others will know more. I was just thinking about the need for a counterweight with the weight of the winch.
