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

I use a winch to pull my tiger into the hanger. I do NOT attach the winch to the tail or the steps. See the tail tiedown repair page for an example of possible damage from a winch. 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.
