I spent some time today going to the steel yard and getting a mount made for an electric Koenig winch. Started out turned one way, but it makes more sense with the motor turned to the passengers side. Tomorrow I'm going to change how the front bumper is mounted and that is about all for fab work that needs to be done. Then on to taking the winch apart for a cleanup and new seals.

Got the bumper mounted today. Ended up cutting a big round hole in the back of it to fit the front bearing retainer. Otherwise the bumper stuck out about 2 inches forward of where I had it, about an inch further backwards from stock.

Hey I know I am showing up late in this thread, but great work...

do you have any video of both winches, or pics of the finished install...

Your electric Koenig winch is very interesting.
Never seen the high mount or "A" frame version before.
Do you have a model number or serial number on it ?
It appears to be missing the solenoid relay box.
Is it missing the drum engage / free-spool lever and the free-spool drag brake ?

Sorry gentlemen, I put the jeep into storage in May and moved to Montana. Here is about the only photo of the winch installed...



Here is what the winch looks like cleaned up and with the solenoids mounted






The handle on the winch engagement didn't fit where I wanted it so I cut it off and made a new one. You can still order most of the parts for Koenig winches from RKI so I didn't feel too bad about cutting it  :D 

I'll try and get more details to you in the future.
