Pully rides on rope to even the pull to both sides of the nose wheel while steering.</p> <hr /> <div>Yellow poly rope is attached to winch cable (easier to handle).

<p>Dbkeleher: </p> <hr /> <div>== Hanger Winch ==<br /> <br /> I use a winch to pull my tiger into the hanger. I do NOT attach the winch to the tail or the steps. I have rings welded to the towbar where it attaches to the nose wheel. A snap hook connects a 6 ft rope from one side of the nose wheel to the other side. Riding on the rope is a pully to which is attached the winch cable. The pulling load is kept centered by the pully while I steer. This works great and puts the winching force where you normally would manually with the towbar.<br /> <br /> Brad Keleher<br /> <br /> [[Image:winch-overall.JPG|thumb|200 px|Overview of the winching system]]<br /> [[Image:winch-attach.JPG|thumb|200 px|Rings welded to tow bar with snap hooks attached]]<br /> [[Image:winch-pully.JPG|thumb|200 px|ellow poly rope is attached to winch cable (easier to handle).
