I have a Deere 450c (1980 I believe) that I'm looking to add a winch to. I found an older straight 450 I can buy the winch off of. Being the machine is 100 miles away and I cant compare the to machines side by side for match up is there anything I should know or look for to make sure it will work correctly on my machine? Reading the Deere manual it sounds as if there were 2 PTO shafts with different speeds available fro these machines. Anyway to tell the shafts apart or does shaft speed matter for a winch? Also, the manual shows a PTO engage lever down by the brake pedal. I don't believe my machine has this PTO engage lever. If mine doesn't have a PTO engage lever would the winch still be able to function without causing problems?
