Hanger Winch

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.
