Re: Nissan PTO winch - winding the rope on the top of the drum
The pto mounts vertically at rear , so top or bottom feed makes no difference to leverage, unlike a horizontal bottom std electric winch.

Agreed - hence why I need it correctly tuned
Have new 12mmpump, water to air i/c, 4inch ss snorkel, moddied exhaust manifold, custom airbox/filter ~600cfm , plus a 3inch exhaust.
Im told the 12mm will supply more fuel than I will ever need, even with larger turbo.
