Igland 6001 queries

[dangeroussteve]

good morning all, I have a Igland 6001 winch that I have got to extract timber with, can anyone tewll me what direction the winch drum should be turning when winching in? As i feel that the winch isnt spooling the cable in the richt direction.

At the moment the cable comes down from the top pulley towards the drum then goes clockwise round it(over the top), I feel that it should go anticlockwise round the drum(ie straight down and round the bottom of the drum first).

I could be wrong as I am only using my experances with winches on land rovers, can someone help

 

regards

Steve

Cable on my 85h goes under the drum on the butt plate side then up and round the pto side because we always you get into the hole with grub screw through the guard above the pto.hope this helps.

I shall check on my Fransgard tomorrow and see what way it goes. I have a feeling it goes anti clockwise but that might be why it eats cables.

Surely it has to go clockwise, as that the direction rear PTO's turn.

[dangeroussteve]

The gearing and run of the chain, can change the direction of the drum,

On my farmi jl60t the drum goes clockwise when winching i was looking yesterday when i was winching should have been looking at what i was winching nearly got it stuck on a stump,ha

I have a 4201, The drum rotates clockwise when winching in and therefore the rope goes up the lhs of the drum( when wiewed from the rear) there are brackets for the chain tensioner on both sides, presumably for front pto configuration.

 

Have you had it working yet?

[dangeroussteve]

Havent used it in anger yet, was respoiling after repairing tensioner when noticed the cable

[dangeroussteve]

If viewd from the rear, drum rotates anticlockwise, wondering if it has been tweaked for use on unimog? Ie different drive chain route

[Tom D]

In that case its probably set up for a front pto, when I had mine apart to change the height of the pto input shaft there appeared to be a bracket for mounting the chain tensioners on the opposite side. Wether there are other changes that you would need to make I don't know. Try calling jas Wilson.
