Okay so here's the deal. I am going to build a winch for times when I can't get out on the lake with my boat. After looking at all the stuff I need it looks like 5 or 6 hundred to build which is just fine but then I had an idea. I was at tractor supply and they 3 or 4 mini dirt bikes with the same motor I had planned on using. Can I just buy one of those dirt bikes and remove the rear tire as the spool? It seems to be the same concept. Brakes, speed regulator and everything else needed already in one package. I would of course mount a hitch to the front for my truck but besides that it seems to look like it will work. Any comments would be great, thanks.
