Interesting, I am tempted to make one in about a year, or at least this winter coming. I have thought about buying the proper clutch and use my own steel. I'm amazed no one is answering back, I'm curious myself. From NL

That must be an older winch, before Farmi maybe. It looks to be close to the size and shape ( except for the blade ) of my Farmi JL291 and I can see alot of design similarities. My JL291 has a 6400 lb pull rating which you can do quite a bit with. Looks like it would go good on a small to medium tractor.

Looks a lot like a Farmi- obvious not their latest model. As stated it looks like it would work well on a smaller tractor say 40HP or under.
How much do they want for it?

They had it on a 50 hp tractor and were asking $1500. I bought it for $1200. More then I wanted to pay but not alot of selection for a used winch.

It is a little rusty but doesn't look like it was abused. I would say you did pretty good. Good luck with it.

Not sure if they all have to pull the string that hard to get them to winch in. Its missing the tube and top pulley that the winch string ran through to lift the lever to engage the winch. So you have to stand net to the winch and pull the lever up to engage the winch.

Its a JL 351 
The JL 351 model has adjustable outrigger stabilizer legs. The bottom of the legs has a "toe" which can be used to bunch trees at the landing. The open design does not interfere with the drawbar on most tractors so a log trailer can be pulled without removing the winch.
The clutch control rope runs through a swivel on top of the winch. The winch can therefore be operated from any direction. This is an important feature for the operator as he can control the winch from a place where he can see the load as he is pulling it in. Good vision will enable the operator to prevent loads from hooking up behind stumps and roots and also to reduce damage on the remaining trees.
This feature also enhances operator safety and production. Without leaving the tractor seat, one can release the load, drive out of adverse conditions and winch the load in again. When winching from the tractor seat, one must have the optional protective screen installed between the winch and the operator. The clutch enables the operator to select any pull from zero to maximum pull of the winch. The clutch will slip when the load is heavier than the selected pull. This prevents damage to the cable or winch even if the load gets hooked behind stump or root.
The clutch has a 5 year parts warranty.
A new clutch can be riveted on he old sprocket so the clutch is easy and inexpensive to replace. The sturdy upper sprocket acts as a heat sink and absorbs the heat generated in the clutch when winching, so the clutch will not burn out.
The winch frame is high. The high point of pull is very beneficial as it creates down-pressure on the winch when winching. The down-pressure pushes the blade or legs into the ground which anchors the winch and tractor in place.
After the logs are winched in, one slips the cable under the lower snatchblock for skidding the load out. The lower snatch-block lowers the point of pull so one can pull out much larger loads. The thin winch frame keeps the weight close to the tractor, large net loads can therefore be skidded out. ROPS cab, and front end weight or front end loader is a must.
Four logs can be winched in and skidded out hooked to the cable. An additiona

You can easily fix that, in the meantime you can engage the winch at low RPMs and then bump it up or down at the throttle an disengage the PTO instead of getting near the winch when pulling logs in.Not sure if they all have to pull the string that hard to get them to winch in. Its missing the tube and top pulley that the winch string ran through to lift the lever to engage the winch. So you have to stand net to the winch and pull the lever up to engage the winch.

Have fun, be safe.
